Buy Grape Ape AAAA+ Indica Dominant Hybrid Craft Weed Strain By Fore House Online Dispensary.
Grape Ape strain is a tasty, memorable strain with strong indica weed roots. Its distinctive look and complex fruity flavour make it an easy favourite — to say nothing of its incredibly potent body high. This is the product of strains as different as Mendocino Purps, an award-winning Northern California crossbreed, the influential staple strain Skunk, and a legendary Afghani landrace. The combination of these nuances has yielded a bold and visually striking variety.
There are different varieties of Grape Ape, with seeds available from Washington State-based Apothecary Genetics and Barney’s Farm, the seed bank responsible for creating other taste-focused strains like LSD and Pineapple Chunk. Testing lab Analytical 360 has tested samples of this strain at between 19% & 35% THC composition.
Grape Ape is marked by standout colours and multi-layered scents — this is a strain with more consumer “bag appeal” than most. Buds are large and have a dense bud structure with tightly-curled leaves. The leaves themselves are a deep green, with certain phenotypes expressing shades of purple and even red, with copper-coloured pistils throughout. Trichome count varies from moderate to high, leaving the flowers especially sticky.
The multicoloured leaves are also very pungent: a candy-like grape smell wafts from the chunky buds. Breaking open the sticky flowers with a grinder gives off a different odour, with some skunky musk from the Skunk #1 parent and more of a thick hash scent from Afghani.
When inhaled though, the slightly harsh smoke from Grape Ape tastes more fruity than skunky — notes of grape and berries predominate, leaving behind a sweet sensation at the top of the palate.
Notably, the grape taste and purple flavour of Grape Ape aren’t necessarily correlated. Colourful leaves in cannabis are the result of pigments called anthocyanins activated by different conditions, like cooler temperatures.
The tastes of different cannabis strains, on the other hand, are mostly determined by compounds called terpenes, and while many strains prone to producing purple leaves also have a combination of terpenes that create a grape-like flavour, not all purple strains taste like grape. In the case of Grape Ape strain, it may be the case that consumer-focused growers intentionally bring out purple hues for the added visual appeal.
Grape Ape strain has a high that mounts slowly, eventually leading to a very weighty sensation in the head and limbs. Because of its slow onset, those enjoying Grape Ape strain should consume cautiously, keeping in mind that a little of this strain can go a long way. In ideal conditions, Grape Ape provides a palpable sense of both mental and physical relaxation, easing users into a spacey calmness. Rather than stimulating rapid-fire thoughts, Grape Ape offers a full-body stone.
Like the similarly simian-named hybrid Gorilla Glue, Grape Ape strain may leave you feeling like a clumsy, sleepy primate. Its indica strength makes this strain a helpful strain for those suffering from nagging pain, whether due to temporary aches or more chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. It can also soothe sore muscles after strenuous exercise. Mentally, this weed strain can melt stress and anxiety with the force of its foggy high. Definitely an after-dark strain, this cannabis is great for inducing sleep.
Grape Ape plants may be difficult for novices to cultivate. If grown outdoors, the strain tends to be resistant to both disease and destructive bugs. It can be easily grown indoors as well, given its indica shape: plants are bushy with strong lateral branches radiating from the central stem. Grape Ape strain plants rarely exceed 4 feet in height.
Growers may want to practice topping, by trimming wide fan leaves at the top of the plant to allow light to reach lower branches. Grape Ape flowers within 7 to 8 weeks when grown indoors and produces a solid yield of medium to large flowers; growers can expect as much as 74 grams or about 2.5 oz of flower per square foot.
Just as it’s difficult for novice growers to cultivate, this weed may be a tough smoke for cannabis newbies: its gradual and powerful high can be disorienting, even to experienced smokers.
Extremely popular on the West Coast, Grape Ape strain is an excellent strain for users who want to feel pleasantly knocked out or overpowered. The unique ability of Grape Ape to cause smokers to melt into their surroundings is best enjoyed at night – whether solo after a stressful day of work or in an intimate gathering of familiar friends.
