Green Mountain Grape
Also known as: GMG, Green Mountain Grape Kush
Green Mountain Grape Strain Overview
Green Mountain Grape is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed in Vermont's Green Mountains region. The strain was created by crossing two classic indica varieties, Grape Ape and an undisclosed Kush strain, resulting in a potent, grape-flavored cultivar that has gained popularity in the Northeastern United States since its development in the early 2010s. Breeders focused on creating a strain that could thrive in cooler climates while maintaining robust genetics and distinctive flavor profiles.
The strain is characterized by dense, grape-shaped buds that display deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Green Mountain Grape emits a strong aroma combining sweet grape candy with earthy, musky undertones and subtle notes of berries and fuel. The flavor profile follows the aroma closely, delivering a smooth smoke with pronounced grape and berry flavors on the exhale.
Notable features include its resilience to cooler temperatures and mold resistance, making it particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation in temperate climates. The strain has developed a regional following in New England and has been used in breeding programs to create other grape-flavored varieties. While not as widely distributed as commercial West Coast strains, Green Mountain Grape maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene profile and regional heritage.

Green Mountain Grape Strain Growing Information
Green Mountain Grape is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but shows particular resilience in outdoor environments, especially in cooler climates. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include its preference for slightly cooler nighttime temperatures during flowering to enhance purple coloration, good resistance to mold and pests, and responsiveness to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve yields. The strain requires careful nutrient management as it can be sensitive to nitrogen excess during flowering.
