Modified Grapes isn’t for the faint of heart (or lung). Brimming with THC, this strain was cultivated to appease the most experienced users, so beginners beware… beyond this point, green dragons dwell.
Stacked with THC, Modified Grapes packs one hell of a punch, and it strikes fast too, so be ready for action (or inaction as the case may be) when you hit a bowl or vape some of this potent strain.
Initially, it’s looking for headshots only, and as the rounds play out, it starts working the body, meaning none of you is safe from the Grape onslaught. If you thought Mike Tyson hit hard, just wait until you get a load of this absolute monster of a bud. Read on… if you dare!
Modified Grapes: Bud Breakdown
Sativa = 40%
Indica = 60%
THC = 26%
CBD = 0%
Modified Grapes is one of those interesting indica-dominant strains with tons of sativa-like qualities as you can see from the 26% THC content — For the uninitiated, anything above 25% is classed as a very high THC content.
But that’s not to say Modified Grapes is a complete departure from everything you know and love about indica bud.
Modified Grapes Genetics
Bred by the “greeniuses” over at rising star California company, Symbiotic Genetics, Modified Grapes is the child strain of GMO and Purple Punch, two absolutely legendary buds in their own right, so it’s no surprise that their progeny doesn’t mess about!
GMO — An indica-dominant hybrid created by breeding Girl Scout Cookies with Chemdawg, GMO (also referred to as Garlic Cookies) has an impressive pedigree. Blending a driving euphoria with utter relaxation, it strikes a healthy balance between indica and sativa qualities, and thus, has an extraordinarily wide appeal, but it’s favored by indica enthusiasts on the hunt for a bud to help them bliss out.
Purple Punch — Purple Punch celebrates parents that are perhaps even more infamous than those of GMO: Larry OG and Grandaddy Purple. Again, we’re dealing with some serious indica DNA here, a “slow-down weed” to take the edge off after a frantic day.
Offering a nuanced high with distinct phases, Purple Punch refuses to neglect any aspect of its user, attacking with a flurry of cerebral and body-based effects that will leave you out for the count, no matter how furiously you fight back.
Modified Grapes High: What Does This Strain Feel Like?
Much like its parent strain, Purple Punch, Modified Grapes is all about that one-two punch assault on the senses and body. Take a hit of this powerful bud and you really do take a hit… to the head to begin with.
You’ll experience an immediate rush of euphoria in the old walnut, the perfect pick-me-up to get you through the last of your chores or work (if appropriate).
This initial stage is also great for applying yourself creatively, so if you’re an artist of some description, keeping some Modified Grapes stashed away somewhere is a good cure-all for creative slumps.
Most report feeling a new sense of clarity and happiness that enhances productivity, and unlike a lot of other strains, rather than triggering introspection, it brings you out of your shell and puts you in a chatty (and slightly giggly) mood.
Prepare for some delightful shenanigans with friends after partaking in these Modified Grapes of wrath.
This head high can get pretty intense towards the apex of the onset, so if you’re an anxiety sufferer, prepare yourself for a few unsavory feelings at this point, but once over, you’ll be given a lovely, big, soothing indica embrace that completely obliterates any negative stirrings.
The body high creeps down from on high, massaging out the knots in your system, and the couch lock that follows is truly all-consuming (in the best way).
You’ll have the most blissful and restful period of your life when the indica-side of the high takes hold, and as it lasts a good while, you won’t be running out of this green delight any time soon.
Modified Grapes: Best Time Of Use
Considering the predictable trajectory of the Modified Grapes high, you can map out your use with precision. I’d recommend taking a hit towards the middle of the afternoon so you can use that THC boost to improve focus as you get the day’s last responsibilities wrapped up.
Then, when evening rolls around, you’re settling into the lovely body high, ready to chill out and enjoy all the warm fuzzies to come.
If you’d rather not partake this early on in the day, it’s also a fantastic mid-evening bud that can help you make the most of your free time and then deliver you gently to the land of nod after the fact.
Don’t hold off too long though, otherwise, you’ll still be in the throes of the head high when you hit the hay, and ain’t nobody finding sleep during that phase of the Modified Grapes rollercoaster.
Now, if you’re going to bed but not with the intention of sleeping – if you catch my drift – then a late hit is absolutely what you need, as this strain is seen as something of an aphrodisiac.
Besides this sexy scenario, it’s best to wait until you get to the lazy river phase before you hunker down for the night, so timing is everything, but if you’re up very early accidentally, you can throw out the rule book.
Any time between 3 and 6 am is prime for modifying some grapes, as the only outcome is a spot of extra rest. Take it easy on the dose early on, however, as you’re aiming to pass the cerebral high relatively quickly.
Modified Grapes is also a pretty sweet strain to use around midday given you’ve got some fairly chill activities planned. Should you be taking part in more intense goings-on, it’s best to save this bud until later when you have more free time.
Modified Grapes Aroma & Flavor
Modified Grapes has a lot to give in the scent department, but until you pick it apart or throw a nug in your grinder, you won’t smell anything more than a faint earthiness.
Once unleashed, the aroma will wash over you with full power… and everyone else within a 50-yard radius, so be careful where you whip this bud out.
The earthy undertones never disappear entirely, but after agitation, you’ll be struck by a bouquet of wild berries, grapes, diesel, and spicy notes that intermingle to form a candy-ish scent that you’ll want to sniff all day long.
As for flavors, you’ll get an overriding sweetness with undertones of fruit, garlic, and even fresh spearmint, an intriguing mix that you’ll notice something new about with every taste.
Being that this bud has such an intriguing flavor profile, I’d highly recommend vaping over smoking, as total combustion is going to destroy the subtleties this bud brings to the pallet.
Modified Grapes Appearance
Wrapped in a blanket of purplish trichomes, Modified Grapes is one of the frostiest strains you’ll ever see, so get ready for a serious kief harvest, my friend! In fact, purple competes with moss green for the crown of primary color.
Accenting this regal cocktail of rich hues are occasional wisps of burnt-orange pistils giving an already fuzzy bud an even fluffier appearance.
Flutes of crispy forest green leaves add little flourishes of intrigue to the popcorn-shaped buds, and in certain lights, the intermingling of the pistils and trichomes can create a peachy glow.
In all honesty, no words can sum up the beauty of these buds — You have to see them for yourself!
Modified Grapes Medicinal Benefits
Modified Grapes is a fantastic mood enhancer, so it can certainly be used to curtail depressive episodes, and as the cerebral high arrives so quickly, users enjoy instantaneous relief.
Plenty claim it’s also effective in alleviating anxiety, but like I said earlier, the THC has an edge in this indica strain, and as the early high reaches its climax it can be more of a hindrance than a helper.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t test the waters, as it may well be the perfect solution you’ve been seeking. Where that THC is definitely an asset is killing acute- to medium-severity aches and pains.
The early high transports your head to a happier place, keeping your mind off the hurt, and as the body high sinks its teeth, you’ll forget you were ever in pain to begin with, especially as Modified Grapes is known to have anti-inflammatory properties.
And it’s certainly more enjoyable to use than traditional painkillers, that’s for sure!
Thanks to that lovely body high, this strain is also a suitable tonic for insomnia and general restlessness, so if you find yourself tossing and turning at night, introduce some Modified Grapes to your evening and see how you get on.
Modified Grapes Potential Side Effects
THC-heavy strains always pose a small paranoia risk, and Modified grapes is no exception.
You’ll likely feel this the most as the cerebral high tops out, but thankfully, this precedes the immediate onset of the calming body high, so with any luck, you won’t be feeling this way for long.
As established, anxiety is a possible side effect of Modified Grapes, especially if you already suffer from an anxiety disorder, so never assume this strain is going to be a completely positive experience. Try only a small dose to begin with in order to get your bearings.
Dizziness is a pretty common side effect too, so it pays to try this strain in a comfortable, calm environment where you can rest up should your head start swimming.
Final Thoughts
Modified Grapes is a lovely strain if you can handle your THC, but it’s not the best choice for beginners or experienced green lungs returning to the good stuff after a significant break in usage.
If you can handle what it offers, you’re in for a real treat, starting with the buzzy head high that takes your mind off the stressors in life and gets you giggling. From there, the high sinks throughout your body, instilling serenity and calm as you’ve never felt before!
