Grape Jello
Also known as: Grape Jelly
Grape Jello Strain Overview
Grape Jello is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two popular West Coast varieties: Grape Ape and Jelly Breath. Breeders sought to combine Grape Ape's indica-dominant relaxation with Jelly Breath's complex flavor profile and balanced effects. The resulting hybrid has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its distinctive characteristics and reliable performance.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, chunky buds that display a striking color palette. Deep purple hues dominate the foliage, often appearing almost black in certain phenotypes, while vibrant orange pistils create a dramatic contrast. The buds are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a sugary appearance. Grape Jello's name accurately reflects its visual presentation, which resembles grape-flavored gelatin desserts.
Grape Jello has become particularly valued for its consistency and stability across different growing environments. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in legal markets, especially in California and Colorado. The strain's balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption methods, though it remains most popular among users seeking flavorful, aromatic cannabis with moderate psychoactive effects.

Grape Jello Strain Growing Information
Grape Jello is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be managed to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Grape Jello prefers stable temperatures (68-80°F) and moderate humidity levels, with particular attention needed during flowering to prevent mold in dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen in later flowering stages.
