Grape Valley OG
Also known as: Grape Valley Kush, Grape Valley
Grape Valley OG Strain Overview
Grape Valley OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the California cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by crossing two notable West Coast varieties: Grape Ape and SFV OG Kush. This genetic combination created a strain that inherits the distinctive grape flavor profile from Grape Ape while maintaining the potent, relaxing effects characteristic of OG Kush genetics. The strain gained popularity in medical cannabis circles before becoming more widely available in recreational markets.
The physical characteristics of Grape Valley OG are distinctive and visually striking. The buds typically display dense, chunky structures with deep purple hues that can range from lavender to nearly black, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures. These purple tones contrast dramatically with bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. The coloration is most pronounced in the final weeks of flowering when nighttime temperatures drop significantly.
Grape Valley OG is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, kush undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant grape and berry flavors, which are complemented by subtle hints of pine and spice. The smoke is generally smooth with a sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream strains, Grape Valley OG maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Grape Valley OG Strain Growing Information
Grape Valley OG 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, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with warm days and cool nights, which helps enhance the purple coloration. Grape Valley OG can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature fluctuations that trigger color development. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and implementing temperature differentials (cooler nights) during late flowering to maximize color expression. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and yield.
