Okanagan Grape
Also known as: OKG, Okanagan Grape Kush
Okanagan Grape Strain Overview
Okanagan Grape is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. The strain was developed by local breeders in the early 2010s who sought to create a cultivar that would thrive in the region's unique microclimate while offering distinctive grape-like characteristics. It has gained popularity among Canadian cannabis enthusiasts and has become a regional specialty, though it remains relatively rare outside of Western Canada.
The strain is characterized by its dense, grape-shaped buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense calyxes. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance that hints at the strain's potency. The name "Okanagan Grape" derives from both its terpene profile and the region where it was developed, known for its vineyards and fruit production.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma that combines sweet grape notes with earthy undertones, and its relatively fast flowering time compared to other indica varieties. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that provide both physical relaxation and mild cerebral stimulation, making it suitable for evening use. While not as widely documented as commercial strains from larger breeders, Okanagan Grape has developed a loyal following in its native region.

Okanagan Grape Strain Growing Information
Okanagan Grape is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plant prefers a semi-humid environment and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. It tends to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. The strain is particularly well-suited to outdoor cultivation in climates similar to its native Okanagan Valley, with warm days and cool nights. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing support during late flowering as the heavy buds can cause branches to bend or break. The plant exhibits good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in proper conditions.
