Black Grapes
Black Grapes is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Gorilla Grape. Recognized for its consistency and vigor, the plant is rated at a moderate difficulty level for cultivators. It completes its flowering cycle in 63 days, demonstrating a high yield potential that makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments.
The terpene profile of Black Grapes is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as the secondary and tertiary contributors. This specific chemical composition defines the strain's aromatic and sensory experience. The interplay of these terpenes results in a distinct, multi-layered profile that directly influences the user's perception of the flower's character.
Users typically experience effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making this strain a frequent choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep. Beyond its immediate application, Black Grapes has contributed significantly to modern breeding projects, serving as the parent of notable offspring including Black Unicorn and Gangster Funk.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
