Grape Ape Mids strain

Description

Grape Ape Mids is a classic, potent indica-dominant hybrid (roughly 80% indica / 20% sativa) offered in a convenient smalls/mids (popcorn to medium-sized nugs) format. This makes the legendary Grape Ape genetics more affordable while maintaining the same heavy effects, loud grape flavor, and dense trichome coverage.

Bred from Afghani, Skunk, and Mendocino Purps, Grape Ape is famous for its deep purple hues, sweet grape candy aroma, and powerful body-melting relaxation. The mids version delivers the full experience at a better value.

Genetics & Lineage

• Type: Indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica / 20% sativa)
• Parents: Afghani × Skunk × Mendocino Purps
• Breeder: Apothecary Genetics (original) – widely grown by many producers
• Notes: “Mids” refers to smaller-to-medium sized nugs from premium harvests. The strain is a true classic from the early 2000s that remains popular today.

Cannabinoid Profile

• THC: Typically 18–24% (most mids batches test 19–22%; top-shelf cuts can reach 25%+)
• CBD: Low (<1%)
• Other: Good resin production for an older landrace-influenced strain.

Terpenes & Flavor Profile

Grape Ape is all about that signature grape candy sweetness:

• Aroma: Strong sweet grape, berry candy, earthy grape soda, with subtle skunky and floral undertones. Very pungent and nostalgic when opened.
• Flavor: Juicy grape and berry candy on the inhale, followed by earthy, skunky, and slightly sweet grape finish on the exhale. Smooth with excellent flavor retention.
• Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene (deep body relaxation), Linalool (floral calm), Caryophyllene (spicy/earthy), and often limonene or humulene.

Buds are dense, chunky, and famously deep purple (especially under cooler temperatures), with orange pistils and a sugary coating of trichomes.

Growing Information (for cultivators)

Grape Ape is resilient and beginner-friendly. Flowering time is typically 8–9 weeks. It yields well and performs excellently indoors or outdoors, especially in cooler climates that bring out the signature purple colors. The plants stay relatively short and bushy with good mold resistance. Mids come from the same high-quality plants.
