Grapes
Also known as: Grape, Grape Strain
Grapes Strain Overview
Grapes is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive grape-like aroma and flavor profile. The strain was developed by breeder Exotic Genetix, who crossed the popular Granddaddy Purple with an undisclosed indica strain to create this grape-forward variety. First introduced in the early 2010s, Grapes quickly gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent effects and unique sensory characteristics.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, chunky buds that often display deep purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The purple coloration contrasts beautifully with the bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds typically have a tight, compact structure characteristic of indica varieties, with leaves that may curl inward slightly.
Grapes is particularly valued for its strong terpene profile that delivers a pronounced grape and berry aroma with subtle earthy undertones. The strain's genetics lean heavily toward the indica side, typically showing around 80% indica and 20% sativa characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Grapes has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its relaxing effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Grapes Strain Growing Information
Grapes is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce slightly larger harvests in optimal conditions. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, usually reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Grapes responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures, as cooler conditions during the flowering stage (around 65-68°F at night) can enhance the purple coloration of the buds. The strain benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. Grapes has moderate resistance to common pests and mold but requires careful humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot.
