Modified Grapes
Also known as: Modified Grape
Overview
Modified Grapes is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Symbiotic Genetics in 2014 in Sacramento, California. This award-winning cultivar emerged through the careful crossing of two renowned parent strains: Purple Punch and GMO (Garlic, Mushrooms, and Onions). The strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, winning gold at the 2020 Cannabis Cup, claiming 3rd place at both the Emerald Cup and SoCal Cannabis Cup in 2021, and ultimately securing 1st place for Best Mixed Light Flower at the 2022 Emerald Cup. Modified Grapes features a predominantly indica genetic profile (typically 80% indica/20% sativa, though some sources report 60% indica/40% sativa), combining Purple Punch's sweet, fruity characteristics with GMO's potent effects and unique terpene profile. The strain produces dense, visually striking buds that display deep olive green coloration with prominent purple hues and vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. This exceptional resin production has made Modified Grapes particularly popular among extract and concentrate producers. The strain's complex terpene profile creates a distinctive aromatic experience that balances sweet grape and honey notes with pungent, spicy undertones reminiscent of black pepper and gasoline.

Growing Information
Modified Grapes is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it more suitable for experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (52-63 days) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring from late September to early October. Indoor yields range from 500-600 grams per square meter (1.64-1.97 oz/ft²), while outdoor plants can produce up to 700 grams per plant. The strain shows good resistance to mold and mildew but requires careful attention to environmental factors and nutrient balance. Plants typically remain compact and bushy with a strong central stem, making them suitable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques like SCROG. Modified Grapes thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates and responds well to both indoor and outdoor growing conditions. The strain produces a strong odor during flowering, requiring adequate ventilation and odor control measures for indoor grows.
