Grape OX

It seems like new hybrids are popping up every day. As it is, estimating the number of strains is impossible. As breeders develop new ones, a trend began over the past decades where the focus was not only on varieties that flowers quickly and produces high yield, but also possess an insane amount of THC. Grape OX, though, is an exemption.

Instead of only raising its THC level, the breeder Rare Dankness also prioritized a hybrid that has a higher than average CBD level. As such, its effectivity as an alternative to drugs is better than most other strains.

In a sense, Grape OX is the middle ground between recreational and medical use. Of its most notable claim to fame is in its being named as the third best Indica in the 2014 High Times Michigan Medical Cannabis Cup.

Grape OX is 90% Indica. Also, tests have shown it to contain as much as 24% THC. While it is possible that some users may feel active in the beginning as a result of the motivating mental high, the real experience of Grape OX only comes once it kicks into the body. Once it does, it is very potent and can be quite intense.

As its name suggests, the strain emits a mixed scent of grape and blueberry. It also has a spicy note lingering in the air.

Flavors

Grape OX is not only pleasant to smell, but it also comes with an equally great flavor. With much of its aroma carrying over, its creamy-rich smoke with a spicy note is relatively easy on the throat.

After taking a few tokes, it is time for users to bask in relaxation. In most cases, many do not even notice that their mouth is dryer. Most also not even know their eyes are red. But these are conditions that often result in the use of cannabis. As it is quite intense, some people may feel a little dizzy. Others may even have a slight headache.

Grape OX produces massive and tightly packed cool-mint green buds. It has fiery orange hairs with purple tints on its leaves. On appearance alone, one can say it is beautiful. But what makes it better than simply looking at it is to actually get down to cultivating it in the comfort of the house.

Growers have a choice of doing it indoors or outdoors. Either way, the plant thrives well, and under the care of experts, it can produce an abundant yield. For beginners, there is a learning curve, but so as long as one adheres to good plant cultivation practices, it should lead to productive yields too.

Flowering Time

Indoors
When one opts for indoor growing, know that its flowering period is between 9 to 10 weeks. As the plant approaches its maturity, the fascinating, vivid purple colors become more apparent when exposed to cooler temperature. A hardworking grower should expect to harvest buds ranging from 12 to 16 ounces per square meter.

Outdoors
Grape OX is better suited to a cooler climate. It is actually one of the few strains that can thrive in the European environment. It flowers during the second to third week of October with each plant producing up to 16 ounces of buds.
