Grape x Skunk x NL#5 Strain Overview
Grape x Skunk x NL#5 is a predominantly indica cannabis strain created by ROC Seeds through a three-way genetic cross that combines old-school cannabis genetics from the late 1980s and 1990s. The strain features genetics from an old school Blueberry variety from DJ Short (dating to the late 1990s), crossed with vintage Skunk x NL#5 seed stock from 1989. This breeding approach was specifically designed to add vigor to the grape-flavored Blueberry genetics while maintaining the classic characteristics that made these parent strains legendary. The strain represents a fusion of some of cannabis breeding's most influential genetic lines, with Northern Lights #5 contributing its renowned Afghani indica characteristics of compact structure, heavy resin production, and deeply relaxing effects, while the Skunk genetics add potency and the distinctive skunky aroma profile. The grape characteristics come from the DJ Short Blueberry lineage, which is known for developing pronounced grape flavors during the curing process. This combination creates a strain that offers both historical significance and practical growing benefits, producing plants with robust structure, substantial yields, and a complex flavor profile that balances fruity grape notes with earthy, skunky undertones.
