Grape Loca
Also known as: Grape Loca OG, Grape Loca Kush
Grape Loca Strain Overview
Grape Loca is a hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Grape Ape and Loca OG. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the potent indica characteristics of Grape Ape with the balanced hybrid effects of Loca OG. The resulting cultivar gained popularity in West Coast markets before spreading to other regions, though it remains less widely documented than some mainstream strains.
The strain is characterized by dense, grape-shaped buds that display a deep purple coloration, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the foliage. The purple hues result from anthocyanin pigments that become more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick layer of frosty trichomes covers the buds, giving them a shimmering appearance. The aroma profile is distinctly fruity with prominent grape and berry notes, complemented by earthy undertones and a subtle diesel-like fuel scent that becomes more noticeable when the buds are broken apart.
Grape Loca plants typically exhibit a balanced growth pattern with indica-dominant structure—broad leaves and compact internodal spacing—combined with some sativa-like stretching during flowering. The strain's effects are reported to be similarly balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as extensively documented as some commercial strains, Grape Loca has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile and versatile effects.

Grape Loca Strain Growing Information
Grape Loca is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring 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 strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over temperature to enhance purple coloration. Plants remain relatively compact, reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C/59-64°F) during late flowering to encourage purple pigmentation and monitoring for mold in dense buds due to their thick structure. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
