How to grow Grape Ape? (Indoor and outdoor)

Grape Ape is classed as easy to grow. This is due to its pronounced robustness; the strain grows almost on its own under most conditions. It can be grown outdoors if the climate is suitable; otherwise, we recommend cultivating it in closed systems, such as grow boxes or greenhouses. You can practically see the plants grow every day as they rapidly develop vigorous side shoots and large quantities of flowers. Towards the end of flowering, the leaves and buds are encased in numerous resin crystals, which is not only beautiful to look at but also ensures a striking effect that lasts for many hours. You can use SOG or SCROG training methods to increase yields if so desired.

Flowering time

Grape Apes's flowering time is 7 to 8 weeks.

Size of the plant

The plants remain relatively small but grow more in width; in the end, they look like small bushes. Grown indoors, you can expect heights of 75 - 125 cm; grown outside, the plants will grow slightly taller to 100 - 150 cm.

Yield

Grape Ape is a quick-growing strain, and it won't be long before you can collect and dry the harvest. In total, Grape Ape only needs about 54 days to finally mature. Then you can cut off all the buds, and there is a high probability that you will get a good yield. Of course, it still has to be dried and fermented. Grape Ape cannabis plants are known for their generous yields, and great flavours and an excellent high are waiting for you.

• Max yield indoor: 350-500 (g)
• Max yield outdoor: 450-600 (g)

Effects of Grape Ape

With a THC level of 21%, Grape Ape begins with a powerful, heady effect which merges into a gradual full-body buzz within the space of an hour. This is a strain capable of inducing intense relaxation but also uplifting the spirits and even an energy rush. As the weed progresses through the system though, its Indica traits take over, and the high becomes more soporific and meditative. With decent mood-lifting properties, it's ideal for a daytime smoke, although many like to smoke it in the evening for a guaranteed good night's sleep.

Although its CBD levels are comparatively low at 0.4%, Grape Ape is used to treat many conditions and ailments, such as muscle relaxation, mood elevation, anxiety, pain relief, and appetite stimulation. It's the perfect choice for patients seeking a reliable Indica experience, filled with a good flavour and bag appeal.

Side effects

Grape Ape has a rather pungent smoke with a definite aftertaste. The smoke can hit your mouth hard to take it easy at first as you may get a sore throat. Have a drink of water to hand.

Smell and taste of Grape Ape

This smell is of unusual intensity and combines the taste and smell of mangos, blueberries and fresh grapefruit; an exquisite mixture that inspires smokers from all over the world. You will notice a faint sweetness, but it isn't overbearingly cloying. 

Origin of the Grape Ape strain

The origins of Grape Ape are shrouded in mystery, with Apothecary and Barney's Farm both claiming to be responsible for the propagation of the strain. Our Grape Ape's genetics are Mendo Purps X Skunk X Afghani. It is closely related to Granddaddy Purple and several other Purple phenotypes.
