Every time we think that we’ve found the most amazing strain out there, something else comes along to knock our socks off. Such can be said about Grape OX, a mostly indica-dominant bud by Rare Dankness. Winning 3rd place in the indica category at the High Times’ 2014 Michigan Medical Cannabis Cup, this gal is a cross between Grape Ape and OX.

Newer users may want to tread carefully with this bud while more experienced players will no doubt love the high of 24% THC that comes along with Grape OX. One look at these buds lets you know that you’re in for a treat, as they are typically very large, dense, and frosty. If you’re a fan of grape flavors, then this strain is for you, as her primary taste is sweet and spicy grape with hints of blueberries upon the exhale.

Rather than taking a few puffs and feeling super high right away, Grape OX creeps in and takes a long time to bring you to a place of pure joy. Be patient, though, because you will get there and find that this uplifting sensation is accompanied by incredible feelings of relaxation. While some strains give users a bit of a roller-coaster ride when it comes to effects, Grape OX delivers on one smooth and consistent message - be happy and chill out.

Because this strain excels at sedation, many find it to be a great way to soothe pain at the end of a long day. Spasticity, inflammation, headaches, and more are easily addressed as Grape OX boasts up to 5% CBD. That’s right folks, this strain just got that much better, and thanks to her medicinal effectiveness, you can use her to treat stress, depression, insomnia, and nearly any other condition you have. Of course we can’t guarantee results, but many have found this bud to be a true lifesaver.

Grape OX does come with a bit of a learning curve if you’re planning on growing her at home, but don’t let that deter you from this amazing plant. She will do exceptionally well inside or outdoors, but make sure you give her proper attention and care in order to reap a large yield. Between 9 and 10 weeks is required for full maturation and cultivating her in a cooler climate will help you to get the best results.

Tasty and strong, Grape OX was named pretty darn appropriately. Powerful yet soothing, this strain will find a place within your cannabis lineup in no time at all. Use her at the end of the workday to provide long-lasting relief until morning, or take a toke before you put on your favorite movie and relax in peace.
