Well, I've decided to grow a grape strain and after many hours of research and even more reflection, I still do not know which strain I should try. It has to be from seed because I don't know anyone with a grape strain and I don't want to waste time with a 'grape' clone from a dispensary. I don't mind spending the money for something like DJ Short stock. I would prefer a sativa leaning hybrid but most grapes seem to be indica leaning and that is fine too but it must be purple.

I grew DJ Shorts Grape Krush once but had to chop it early due to some PM. I only had one plant (in my avatar) but she didn't smell like grapes yet. I smoked Game Changer recently and although sweet, it wasn't grapes. I had Grape Ape and GDP a few times and some were sweet, some just dank, but none grapes.

My research, from many years ago to present, has turned up some of BOGs genetics. I remember his Bogglegum having a Big League Chew grape smelling/flavored pheno in the mix but I'm not sure if those phenos are still in the seed packs. He seems to have created Grape Punch and then Sour Grape from that Bogglegum grape pheno but I didn't see a ton on Grape Punch other than it being 'ok' and BOG says that Sour Grape will smell like a fine red wine after a good cure, which is not what I'm looking for. I've read Lifesaver has some grape flavor too.

I've seen several grape strains from TGA but after more research, his strains seem to be majorly lacking in the potency department. I'm not looking for the strongest strain out there but I don't want something that is not potent.

Mendo Purps I've heard is grape but haven't looked for seeds and then there are all the other strains that came up in my search for grapes! Mainly: Red Lazerlite II, Grape Stomper OG, Original Berry from Kannabia Seeds, OGA Zombie Virus, Grape Romulan, Godzilla Grape, Grape Bubba, shiskaberry, Purple Nepal,razzleberry,black berry kush,Purple hogs breath, the chronic and nirvanas aurora indica, Growdocs Bubbledust.

Wow, that was a mouthful! Can anyone help me out? I have to go vape some Blue Dream now lol

BCBD The Purps is by far the grapiest strain I have ever smelled or smoked. Pure grape for real.

I bet you could get some nice grape flavors out of CSI:HUMBOLDT Purple Urkle F1s. I have a nice grape candy keeper of their Underdog Urkle that I'm revegging now. And several of the Urkle crosses I tested have a nice grape to the terps.
This is Chemdog D x Urkle. Grape cleaner terps.

Best of luck.
Peace

I'll have a look at this one, it looks so awesome, it's making my mouth water! How sweet was the grape with this one? Your photos sell me on the strain over the photos BCBD has up. Did you go with the feminized seeds? Any hermies?

That'd be an interesting flavor from the chem but the other with the koolaid smell sounds good too. Did it have the taste to match the smell? I'll have a look at tardis.

I love the sound of grape terps! I'll have a look at the strains mentioned. Did you get feminized? Any hermies?

Yes I ran feminized.
And I did have a few nanners on a Tester strain, Chemdog D x Urkle. But that's why you test your gear. The Underdog Urkle are a released strain , and were solid.

That dark plant is beautiful! Did you have to get the night time temps down for it to turn purple? I'd love to get a couple different flavors, hopefully an indica and a sativa dom so I can have both types of high.

True. I can't believe how many Urkle crosses are out there just from CSI:Humboldt! This choice isn't getting any easier lol

My BCBD Purps were regs, No herms but did get a couple nanners sometimes in late flower. It seems like everything I run gets a couple. Overall It was stable IMO. That pheno was purple regardless of temps although I know some folks got a green pheno that was great also. I'm telling you it wasn't "kinda grape smelling", that fucker was pure sweet grape.

check out Grape Invaders from Aligee. GDP x Aliendog. i popped 10 seeds, 6 females and three were keepers out of the 6. i ended up just holding onto one because of space issues but there are some super nice phenos in those packs. this is the main keeper, nice sour grape smell with some super fat colas. i just got another pack of f2 that im gonna pop as soon as i get a chance.

Thats strange that you always seem to get a few nanners, hopefully you can figure out if its somethings you are doing to cause it or if it's just the genetics. Seems like there are lots of grows that get a few here and there so not too big a deal I guess if it's not seeding the crop. I love your description lol that's really what I'm looking for! How was the high? BCBD says it's more sativa which would actually work out better since most of the strains on my list are indica and most grapes I've seen lean toward indica also.

Never heard of Aligee but that plant looks crazy and that's a massive cola! I couldn't find much on this strain but I'm guessing it's indica like most other grapes. Do you just order from that site that has the beenies and bags on it? lol

I would love to source some of these seeds locally but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Don't get me wrong, the BCBD Purps looks great too but there are a lot of mixed reviews about them plus it's more of a pain to order from Canada. I've sent a couple emails out to check stock from the CA guys about CSI Humboldt and I can't find any Mendo Invaders either. I'll look around more tonight but may have to try the Canadian order of I don't have any luck.

At least you guys have given me some great options to try and find. Now to see if I can get lucky and locate the beans..

I have ordered from BCBD probably 6 times and never had an issue. I know many have but I think that was long ago. Don't do it to give them money, do it to get that grape you need. I'm telling you The Purps is what you want, no,, what you need if you want grape. I've run plenty of fruity and purple strains and none compare for what your after. Anyways, good luck with it.
