Grape Ape

Grape Ape: Sweet Grapes

Under optimal cultivation practices, Grape Ape plants are capable of yielding compact, resin-laden flowers that are appreciated for their balanced yet potent psychoactive properties. The seeds grow into massive, pointy plants with big leaves and deep green shading. The resin we touched upon earlier is so thick and dusty that it transfers nicely to the harvested buds. The green nuggets are filled with orange, amber hairs that, when broken apart release that highly desirable aroma. The plants are ultimately shorter than average but feature larger than average buds ripe for the picking.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Grape Ape cannabis plants grow best under stable temperature, humidity, lighting and moisture. pH levels should remain between 6.0 and 7.0 for the duration of the grow to successfgully harvest these plants. When it comes to temperature and climate, think California in the summer. Not too hot, not too humid and just enough sunlight to help these seeds grow. If you’ve never grown your own cannabis before Grape Ape is a bit of a tricky strain to start with. Intermediate growers will find success with this strain as it takes a bit of a green thumb to hit your desired yields and THC content.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Grape Ape plants are a semi-difficult grow for first-time growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-80 degrees fahrenheit. Begin your grow with 18 hours of light per day followed by 6 hours of darkness. Once you hit the flowering stage you will want to dial it back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to get to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Relative humidity levels should be approximately 60-70% during the vegetative stage and dropped down to 45-55% during the flowering stage.
• Training Techniques: The implementation of advanced techniques and training methods, including Low Stress Training (LST) and High Stress Training (HST), significantly contributes to the enhancement of plant growth. The final yield is also influenced by the proficiency of the harvesting and curing procedures.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest

• Flowering Time: With indoor grows you can expect the Grape Ape strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-55 days. If you have decided to grow outside then you need to plan your planting schedule for a late September through early October harvest.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically produce up to 800 grams per plant. These yields are amazing considering you are growing one of the world’s favorite cannabis strains.

Dominant Terpenes in Grape Ape: Gorilla-sized Flavor

The Grape Ape terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, pinene and beta-caryophyllene are the major terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant– Known for its relaxing and sedative effects in cannabis. Features a musky and woody aroma.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Aromatic compound often found in cannabis. Helps reduce anxiety and improves lung function.
• Beta-Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Notes of spice and pepper. Found in cannabis and clove as well as black pepper.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Grape Ape:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Grape Ape seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That happy, sleepy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Grape Ape strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 25%, the THC in the entirely Indica strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when using Grape Ape.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Grape Ape are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.
