Grapefruit

The original Grapefruit strain was created in 1998 by combining parent strains Cinderella 99 and an unknown Sativa. Because of that lineage, the Grapefruit strain is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that tastes as good as it sounds. Grapefruit marijuana has a sweet tartness that may take some getting used to upon first-time use. There is a similar sweet and sour overtone to its aroma, which is accentuated with an earthy quality. The happy, energized, and uplifted feeling you get when catching a buzz off of this strain is perfect for wake-and-bake smoke seshs. If you’ve got a day off from work and want to get things checked off of your to-do list, try Grapefruit. With over 25 years on this planet, the Grapefruit strain has become a fan favorite in the cannabis community for its unique flavors and effects on the user. Growers are planting more Grapefruit seeds than ever before and are extremely happy with the finished product.

Grapefruit: Sour Sweet

Grapefruit seeds grow into short and bushy plants with long purple and green leaves that look like an umbrella hanging over the stem. The pungent aroma we discussed earlier can fill a grow room in seconds. It is an inviting smell and one that cannabis users really love. There are dusty trichomes all over every inch of this plant, and the buds are also covered in bright green, almost yellow, pistols that stretch towards the sky. Each bud features red, purple, green, and even orange colors. The harvested nuggets are bright purple, green, and dark orange and super dense. Breaking these nuggets apart releases that strong, sweet and sour odor, the same odor that matches the flavor of this strain almost exactly. The Grapefruit strain has an amazing resume, including two huge victories at the High Times Cannabis Cup. It has also won the Blazers Cup and is a Best of Secret Sesh Winner. If that isn’t enough, this strain is an eight-time Farmers Cup award winner. If a sterling pedigree helps you choose your next grow, you can’t go wrong with Grapefruit. It has taken home over a dozen other major award wins since its inception in 1998.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Grapefruit is a strain that calls for a grower with intermediate experience growing cannabis. This is not a plant that you can simply water once and walk away. For example, you need to water your Grapefruit plants when the top two inches of soil are dry. This means you will have to stay vigilant. Grapefruit cannabis plants can be grown in different environments, but they are best in warm environments. Grapefruit cannabis plants should be safeguarded from mold. The best way to do this, if growing indoors, is to keep them in a well-ventilated environment. Keeping the plant’s lower branches trimmed will encourage proper airflow and stave off mold. Growing both indoors and outdoors requires a steady hand and lots of attention to detail. If everything is done by the books, then you should be in for a bountiful harvest. In other words, the juice is worth the squeeze.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

  • Indoor or Outdoor: Grapefruit cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Grapefruit plants need to have 18 to 24 hours of light when vegetating, shifting to 12 hours of light when flowering.
  •  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40% during the flowering stage.
  • Training Techniques: Low-stress techniques are beneficial with this particular strain, which allows full light penetration for increased bud production and, subsequently, a more bountiful harvest. Adjusting the canopy can make a huge difference in yield numbers.

The Germination Game Plan

Before you even plant your Grapefruit female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

  • Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days. Outdoor growers should be ready for harvest sometime near the end of October to early November.
  • Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 850 grams per plant. It takes a lot of work to get to these numbers, but once you harvest, you will see that every ounce of sweat equity put into this grow was totally worth it.

Dominant Terpenes in Grapefruit: Sweet Taste & Pungent Aroma

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

  • Myrcene: Most Dominant – Found in mangoes, this terpene provides a sweet aroma and taste in cannabis.
  • Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
  • Pinene: Pine Needles – Found in coniferous trees, pine needles, and cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Grapefruit:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Grapefruit seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That energetic, happy, and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying the Grapefruit 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 this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Grapefruit cannabis.
  • CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Grapefruit are less than 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. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Grapefruit strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
