Grape Gum
Also known as: Grape Gum Auto, Grape Gum Autoflower
Grape Gum Strain Overview
Grape Gum is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining genetics from Grape Ape and Bubble Gum strains. This crossbreeding created a plant that inherits the fruity grape flavors from Grape Ape and the sweet, bubblegum-like aroma from Bubble Gum. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a flavorful hybrid with balanced effects, though its exact origin and breeder remain somewhat uncertain in cannabis literature.
The plant typically displays dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive coloration ranging from deep purple to violet hues, often accented with bright orange pistils. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Grape Gum is known for its strong aromatic profile that combines sweet grape notes with earthy undertones, making it particularly appealing to users who prefer fruity strains.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Grape Gum has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's genetics result in a plant that can exhibit both indica and sativa characteristics, though it generally leans slightly toward indica dominance in its effects. Its moderate THC levels make it accessible to both novice and experienced users.

Grape Gum Strain Growing Information
Grape Gum is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) and produce moderate to high yields with proper care. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The autoflowering version has a shorter life cycle of approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest.
