Purple Grape
Also known as: Grape Purple, Purple Grape Kush
Purple Grape Strain Overview
Purple Grape is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive grape-like aroma and deep purple coloration. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, though it is generally believed to have been developed through selective breeding of grape-flavored and purple-hued genetics, possibly involving strains like Granddaddy Purple and Grape Ape. Breeders sought to create a variety that combined the sweet, fruity terpene profile of grape strains with the visually striking purple pigmentation that develops in cooler temperatures.
The strain's appearance is one of its most notable features, with dense, resinous buds that display various shades of purple, often with contrasting orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that become more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Purple Grape typically has a compact, bushy growth structure characteristic of indica varieties, with broad leaves that may also develop purple hues.
Purple Grape has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and appealing sensory characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate fruity, dessert-like flavors and visually striking cannabis varieties. The strain's potency and flavor profile have made it a candidate for extraction products and infused edibles.

Purple Grape Strain Growing Information
Purple 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. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 1-1.5 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler temperatures (approximately 10-15°F below normal) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Purple Grape responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
