Grape Crush

The strain behind this Grape Crush flower is titled Grape Krush on Leafly, which lists Grape Crush and Crushed Grape as other names and credits the breeder DJ Short.

A Blueberry descendant

Leafly describes an indica-heavy hybrid descended from Blueberry, which passed on a purple-to-blue tint and a berry flavour. AllBud also traces it to indica Blueberry parents and credits them for the purple tint and sweet berry taste. AllBud describes a hybrid where the indica genes win out, with the sativa side keeping the high lively and easygoing. Leafly lists Purple Pantera among the strains bred from it.

Ammonia on opening, grape underneath

One AllBud reviewer describes a very pungent ammonia smell on opening the jar, then berry, grape and sweet notes once a bud is broken, and a sweet, slightly berry taste with a grape aftertaste. AllBud lists chemical, grape, pungent and sweet as aroma tags, with berry, citrus, grape and sweet as flavour tags. For flavour, Leafly lists grape, ammonia and lavender.

Leafly reviewers describe very purple, almost brown buds, and one calls it a Blueberry phenotype with a grapier take on Blueberry’s sweet-and-sour berry.

Slow to build, and the THC figures

Leafly says the intended effect is a slow-building high that is relaxed in the body and active in the mind. Its reviewers tag relaxed and tingly, and its 146 ratings average 4.1. AllBud describes a euphoric high with both head and body effects, happy and focused, and tags the strain euphoria, focus, giggly, happy and relaxing. What Leafly’s indica-heavy and AllBud’s hybrid labels signal is covered in our breakdown of the three strain types.

AllBud puts THC at slightly more than 12%, notes that levels can vary considerably, and lists CBD at 0.28%. Leafly’s grow information says DJ Short bred it as an outdoor plant that also does well indoors with care, flowering in 8 to 9 weeks.
