Strain Description:
Grape Ape is a richly flavoured, visually striking Indica-dominant strain with powerful calming effects. Combining Mendocino Purps, Skunk, and Afghani, this cultivar delivers a heavy body high that brings swift relief from physical discomfort and stress. With THC levels often reaching between 18–22%, Grape Ape offers strong psychoactive effects accompanied by a sweet, fruity profile.
The buds are dense and resin-heavy, displaying deep purple hues that emerge as the plant matures—particularly in cooler growing environments. Its potent relaxation makes it best suited for late-day or night-time use, particularly for those managing pain, insomnia, or chronic stress.
 
Growing Information:
Grape Ape is a rewarding strain to grow, producing sizeable harvests of high-quality, trichome-rich flowers. The plants tend to grow medium to tall and develop strong lateral branching, making them a great choice for techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training). Indoors, the flowering time averages around 8 to 10 weeks, while outdoors, it finishes by early autumn in most climates.
Its vigorous growth, resilience, and generous yield make it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The dense, colourful buds also make it an excellent candidate for concentrate production thanks to its high resin output.
 
Strain Flavour and Aromas:
Grape Ape lives up to its name with an aromatic profile dominated by ripe grape and sweet berry scents. The fruity aroma is underscored by subtle skunky and earthy tones, reflecting its Skunk and Afghani lineage. In terms of flavour, it delivers a bold hit of juicy grape and tangy berry on the inhale, followed by a smooth, sweet earthiness on the exhale.
 
The terpene profile is rich in myrcene, contributing to its sedative properties; caryophyllene, adding a hint of spice and earthy depth; and pinene, lending a refreshing lift to the overall experience.
 
Strain Lineage:
 
Grape Ape’s robust profile stems from an impressive genetic mix:
Mendocino Purps brings stunning purple hues and a rich, fruity essence.
Skunk adds potency and a classic, pungent edge to the aroma.
Afghani, a time-tested Indica landrace, delivers dense buds and strong sedative effects.
Together, these parents create a stable, resin-heavy strain with a memorable taste and a deeply calming high.
