Grape Ape

Hybrid

Origin

Grape Ape crosses Mendocino Purps with Skunk and Afghani, a three-way that has held its place in California for twenty years. Mendocino Purps supplies the grape flavor and the purple color; Skunk and Afghani supply the resin and the heavy body. It has eight descendants on file. The grape is the reason to reach for it, and it is one of the few that delivers on the name.

About

Grape Ape genuinely tastes of grapes, which is rarer than the name suggests.

It is a three-way of Mendocino Purps, Skunk and Afghani, a 20-year California favorite. The high starts cerebral and then a calming indica creeps up. The grape flavor is real.

The grape flavor is real.

What to Expect

Grape Ape opens cerebral and then a heavy, calming indica settles in for the night. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 57 percent of a solid sample, with happiness and a euphoric note behind and sleepiness at 41. The head phase is short; the body runs long.

Dry mouth and dry eyes are the physical notes, at 27 and 16 percent, with the sharper readings low. The other thing to expect is a harsh smoke that can leave a sore throat. This is a night strain.

Flavor and Aroma

Grape Ape smells sweet and earthy with a strong grape note and a spicy, incense edge. The flavor is overwhelmingly grape, with strawberry and candy behind it. It is one of the few strains that fully earns a fruit name.

Terpenes Explained

Grape Ape's measured panel leads with Caryophyllene at just under half a percent, with Humulene and Bisabolol behind and Myrcene and Limonene both very low.

The panel reads spicy and incense-like, not fruity, so the grape flavor comes from lighter compounds outside a standard test. A jar that still smells overwhelmingly of grape is the fresher one.

Cannabinoids and Potency

Grape Ape THC is reported from about 18 to 21 percent, with the lab-measured sample in our data near 20, so it tests right in that range. It is strong but not overpowering. CBD is a trace, with a little CBC.

Grape Ape tests where its menu says, in the high teens to low twenties, so plan for a solid sedative indica.
