How to grow Grape Ape
Taste
Seb's take
Afghani, Mendocino Purps and Skunk #1 combine in Grape Ape, its vibrant purple hues matched by a temptingly sweet grape aroma. Berry and earthy pungency sit alongside; the high runs uplifted and euphoric into happy, relaxed and properly sleepy at 20-25% THC — a fitting escape after a long day.
Where it comes from
Three lines built Grape Ape: Afghani for its heavy indica backbone, Mendocino Purps for the purple colour and grape character, and Skunk #1 for pungency and reliability. Herbies Seeds carry it. The Mendocino parent is the one doing the visible work — those vibrant purple hues and the sweet grape nose both trace to it — while the Afghani anchors the whole in a deep, settling indica. A well-assembled classic.
Nose & flavour
Sweet grape leads, temptingly so, with berry alongside — the Mendocino Purps parent at full voice. Underneath sits an earthy pungency from the Afghani and Skunk lines, grounding the fruit. A rich, layered nose, more confectionery on top than the earthy base beneath would suggest.
The high
It opens uplifted and euphoric, brighter than the indica lean might imply, before descending through happy and relaxed into properly sleepy. At 20 to 25% THC the arc is a full one — a fitting escape at the end of a long day, provided nothing is needed of you afterward. The sitting-down sort, once it settles.
Growing it
Feminised and quick, flowering in 45 to 55 days — fast for the yield it returns. Plants stay medium at roughly 100 to 120cm, with yields around 549 g/m². CBD sits at 0.2%. The purple hues tend to show well, especially with cooler finishing temperatures. A rewarding grow on looks alone, and no slouch on the scales either.
