History and Genetics
Grape Ape is thought to be the child of three major strains, namely, Mendocino Purps, Skunk, and Afghani. First propagated by Apothecary Genetics and Barney’s Farm, it had gained so much popularity since then. Pungent with its peculiar smell of grape, taste as well, and having a strong effect, Grape Ape had gained much attention right after being introduced to the market.
Appearance, Aroma, and Taste
Grape Ape buds are grown to be dense and full of trichomes to the point of appearing frosted. The buds just so happen to be deep purple in color with hints of green, thus managing to resemble grapes.
Grape Ape, as his name would likely suggest, has an overpowering grape aroma in addition to sweet, fruity overtones. Cut with sweet fruity fragrances, the harmony between earthy and skunky notes creates a really complex and enticing aroma profile.
Smoked or vaporized, Grape Ape coughs up sweet grape fumes with hints of skunk underneath. This indica is ripe with a scent that’s both grape candy and grape soda in one, an ostensible dream smoke if ever there was one for fruity smokers.
