Grape Head #5
Also known as: Grape Head #5 OG, Grape Head OG #5
Grape Head #5 Strain Overview
Grape Head #5 is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Grape Pie with Headband. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the growing trend toward dessert-flavored cultivars with potent effects. Breeders sought to combine the sweet, fruity terpene profile of Grape Pie with the cerebral, headband-like pressure effects characteristic of Headband genetics. The resulting hybrid has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a conical structure and vibrant coloration. The flowers often display deep purple hues interwoven with bright green calyxes, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a visually striking appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Grape Head #5 is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet grape and berry notes with earthy, diesel undertones. The flavor translates similarly to the aroma, with users reporting a smooth smoke that leaves a sweet aftertaste. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation without heavy sedation. This makes it popular for evening use among consumers seeking relief without complete incapacitation.

Grape Head #5 Strain Growing Information
Grape Head #5 is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. It tends to grow to a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Growers should provide adequate support during flowering as the dense buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during late flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate phosphorus during the flowering phase to enhance terpene production.
