Also known as: Mendo Grapes, Mendo Grape
Mendo Gr8pes Strain Overview
Mendo Gr8pes is a hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the Mendocino County region of Northern California, an area renowned for its cannabis cultivation heritage. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, though the exact genetic lineage remains somewhat debated among cultivators. Most sources indicate it likely descends from Grape Ape and a local Mendocino indica, though some suggest Purple Urkle or other grape-flavored varieties may be involved in its ancestry. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as part of the grape-flavored cannabis trend that gained popularity in California's Emerald Triangle region.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils. The flowers are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a glistening appearance. Mendo Gr8pes is particularly noted for its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet grape and berry notes with earthy, skunky undertones, creating a complex sensory experience that has made it popular among connoisseurs.
Mendo Gr8pes represents a balanced hybrid with effects that lean slightly toward the indica side. The strain has gained recognition for its reliable performance and consistent characteristics, though it remains somewhat regional in distribution compared to more widely commercialized strains. Its development reflects the tradition of small-scale, artisanal breeding that characterizes much of Mendocino County's cannabis culture, where growers have historically focused on developing unique, flavorful varieties adapted to local growing conditions.

Mendo Gr8pes Strain Growing Information
Mendo Gr8pes is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early 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 prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with warm days and cool nights, which helps develop its characteristic purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate phosphorus during flowering to enhance color development. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
