This batch of Grape Ape has a strong creamy and piney nose. Despite the relatively smaller nug size on this harvest, the overall bag appeal is still top notch lands it in the quad category. The nugs have a dank purple shade that’s complemented by many fiery orange pistils. To top it off, each bud comes with a generous layer of trichomes that gives off the classic Grape Ape appearance. The taste is more on the vanilla earthy side, with hints of berry. The high is potent and relaxing, yet you’ll still feel alert and energized.

Grape ape tastes and smells like grapes and berries. It’s a strong indica and has a very distinctive, fruity flavour that makes it a favourite amongst seasoned smokers who appreciate a sweeter profile.
The smell of this flavour is a bit different from its taste. When you inhale grape ape, you’ll get a lot of the skunky musk that you’d expect from the Skunk #1 parent, which is a classic. If you really take the time to inhale the plant, you’ll also notice some of the thick hash scent from the Afghani coming through.
This indica strain is known for its carefree relaxation effects and its incredibly, potent body high. It offers more couch lock effects than energizing. It’s the perfect cannabis strain for pain, stress and anxiety. It can also be used to treat insomnia, depression and even fibromyalgia.
This strain has some beautiful deep purple leaves, which darken as the marijuana matures. The buds can also be rather dense and compact. In general, you can expect grape ape to test between 15% and 25%. It’s a decent cannabis strain for both beginners and potheads.
This cannabis strain is a bit difficult to grow if you’re a novice medical marijuana grower. Due to this reason, you should highly consider looking for this strain at an online dispensary when you buy weed online. It’s definitely a purple weed that you should try if you ever get the chance!

Effects and Usage
The high for the grape ape strain mounts rather slowly in comparison to some other marijuana strains, but will eventually lead to both a mental and body high.
You’ll feel a weighty sensation in both your limbs and your head as this strain eases you into a spacey calmness. It’s a great full body stone that will help you relax after a long time.
This weed strain is great for treating pain, stress and anxiety. It’s also great as a sleep aid used for treating insomnia, as you’ll feel sleepy after smoking a joint of this bud. Many smokers also use this strain to ease temporary aches and some more chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.
This strain is very uplifting, so some users have also used this weed to treat depression.
Some users do experience some side effects from smoking this cannabis strain. Common side effects include dry mouth, which affects about 1 in every 4 smoker, dry eyes and dizziness. Most people, however, won’t experience any side effects at all.
Lineage
Propagated by Apothecary Genetics and Barney’s Farm, Grape Ape is a cross between Mendocino Purps, Skunk and Afghani. This strain also has two children: Alaska Thunder Grape and The Grunk.
Mendocino Purps is an award-winning Northern California crossbreed. Much like grape ape, mendocino purps is another one of the more popular purple strains that you’ll find at a seed bank. Skunk is another popular strain that is a classic, as well as Afghani.
The taste and flavour of all of these weed profiles combine and mesh together in Grape Ape.
Growing
It’s a difficult weed strain for novices to cultivate, which is why we highly recommend that you buy grape ape online. This is definitely one of those weed strains that you want to keep an eye out for if you buy weed online from an online dispensary because it’s not always around.
Grape ape typically has dense, compact buds and takes about 7 to 8 weeks to flower. It produces a solid yield of medium to large flowers, and experienced medical marijuana growers can usually expect to get about 2.5 ounces of bud per square foot.
With that said, grape ape rarely exceeds 4 feet in height. The plant is bushy with strong lateral branches that come out from the central stem. It has a very prominent indica shape to it.
This bud is actually much easier to grow outdoors than indoors, as it is resistant to both disease and destructive bugs. It is, however, difficult to control the quality of the weed when it is grown outdoors. Indoor grows are typically much higher in quality.
If you’re keen on growing the grape ape strain, consider topping the plant regularly and trimming the wide fan leaves at the top, so that it’s easier for sunlight to reach the lower branches.
Similar Alternatives

- Pink Kush, which also offers a similar effect to grape ape although it has more of an earthy, skunky taste to it (with notes of vanilla!)
