Grape Stars
Also known as: Grape Star
Grape Stars Strain Overview
Grape Stars is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Grape Ape with Sensi Star. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica dominance, typically exhibiting a 60% indica and 40% sativa profile. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the fruity characteristics of Grape Ape with the potent effects of Sensi Star, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The plant produces dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant green foliage. These colorful buds are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The purple coloration becomes more pronounced as temperatures drop during the flowering phase, making this strain particularly visually appealing to cultivators and consumers alike. The nugs often display orange pistils that contrast beautifully with the purple and green background.
Grape Stars is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet grape and berry notes with earthy undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its primary flavor characteristics, which users describe as reminiscent of grape candy or wine with subtle herbal accents. While not among the most widely cultivated commercial strains, Grape Stars has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate balanced hybrids with distinctive fruity flavors and reliable effects.

Grape Stars Strain Growing Information
Grape Stars is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October when grown outdoors. 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 growing environments but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include temperature management to enhance purple coloration (cooler nighttime temperatures during flowering can intensify purple hues) and proper nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Regular pruning is recommended to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
