Grape Ape

Description

Grape Ape Cannabis Strain

Experience the regal relaxation of Grape Ape, an award-winning, indica-dominant hybrid renowned for its striking purple hues, sweet grape aroma, and profoundly calming effects.  

Genetics: A potent cross between Mendocino Purps, Skunk #1, and Afghani landrace strains, Grape Ape inherits the best traits of its distinguished lineage.  

Appearance: True to its name, Grape Ape buds are a visual spectacle, displaying deep purple foliage intertwined with shades of dark green. Fiery orange pistils weave through the dense, chunky flowers, all heavily coated in a blanket of sparkling white trichomes, hinting at its potency. 

Aroma & Flavor: Prepare your senses for a delightful experience. The aroma is predominantly sweet and fruity, reminiscent of ripe grapes and berries, with subtle earthy and skunky undertones that add complexity. The flavor mirrors the scent, delivering a smooth, sweet grape taste with hints of candy and sometimes a touch of strawberry, making each inhale a treat. 

Effects: Grape Ape is celebrated for its deeply relaxing and sedating effects, typical of its indica dominance (approximately 90% indica / 10% sativa). The high often begins with a gentle cerebral euphoria that eases into a full-body melt, potentially leading to couch-lock. Its calming properties make it an excellent choice for evening or nighttime use, helping to unwind after a long day. Many users report relief from stress, anxiety, and insomnia. It can also be effective in managing chronic pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. The onset of effects is gradual, so it’s advisable to start with a low dose, especially for novice users.  

Terpene Profile: The dominant terpenes in Grape Ape contribute significantly to its aroma, flavor, and effects:

• Myrcene: The most abundant terpene, offering an earthy, musky aroma with relaxing and sedative properties.
• Pinene: Adds a touch of pine aroma and may help counteract some of the sedative effects of myrcene while promoting alertness.
• Caryophyllene: Provides a spicy, peppery note and may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits. 
• Limonene: Contributes a citrusy aroma and is associated with mood elevation and stress relief.

THC/CBD Content: Grape Ape typically boasts a THC content ranging from 15% to 25%, making it a potent strain. CBD content is generally low, often below 1%.
