Where this family comes from

Patterned on the terpene cluster we call Full Spectrum — 27 of the 140 flowers in Herwig et al. (2025) (opens in new tab). The study numbered its six clusters and named none of them; the name and the effect descriptions on this page are ours.

This is not a potency rating

That cluster averaged 24.41% THC and 18.15 mg/g total terpenes. All six clusters in the study ran between 18.33% and 25.52% THC. Terpenes describe how a strain lands; they say nothing about how strong it is.

Grape Ape cannabis strain
Entourage High

Grape Ape

## Grape Ape: A West Coast Purple Classic Few indicas have shaped the modern "purple strain" category quite like Grape Ape. Bred in the mid-2000s by Apothecary Genetics (Bret Bogue) and later refined and distributed internationally by Barney's Farm, this strain built its reputation on deep grape aroma, heavy-handed relaxation, and a competition record that spans nearly a decade. ## 🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage Grape Ape's genetic backbone comes from three foundational plants: - Mendocino Purps — contributes the signature grape-candy sweetness and purple pigmentation - Skunk #1 — adds structural vigor and a pungent, skunky backbone - Afghani — brings the classic indica body-heaviness and resin production This combination, first stabilized in the 2000s (circa 2005), created a 90% indica / 10% sativa hybrid classified as a Type II chemovar — meaning it carries a balanced-but-THC-leaning cannabinoid expression. You'll also see it sold under nicknames like Purple Ape, Grape Ape Kush, Ape, or simply GA. ## 👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics Grape Ape's terpene signature is led by Myrcene (0.48%), the terpene responsible for its heavy, sedating body-lean and much of the "couch-lock" reputation indicas are known for. Supporting terpenes round out a complex profile: - Limonene (0.5%) — a bright citrus note that lifts the mood slightly against the sedation - Carene (0.5%) — piney, sweet, contributing to the woody undertone - Linalool (0.35%) — floral and calming, reinforcing the strain's sleep-supportive character - Caryophyllene (0.28%) — peppery and spicy, and the terpene most associated with body-relief through CB2 receptor activity - Humulene (0.18%) and Alpha-Pinene (0.12%) — earthy and herbal accents that round out the aroma On the nose, you'll pick up grape and berry notes first, layered over sweet, fruity top notes, with earthy, skunky, herbal, spicy, and woody undertones filling out the background. It's a genuinely dessert-like profile balanced by an old-school skunk funk. ## 👅 Flavor Experience The flavor largely mirrors the aroma: an initial burst of grape and berry sweetness on the inhale, transitioning into earthy and skunky mid-palate notes, with a pine and spicy finish on the exhale. It's one of the more recognizable

CBD-bearing Entourage High strains

The study's own conclusion proposes pairing its six terpene clusters with the existing chemotypes — THC-dominant, balanced, CBD-dominant. Terpene profile tells you how a strain smells and, we think, how it lands; chemotype tells you what is actually in it. Almost everything on the shelf is Type I, so these are the ones worth calling out.
