Grape Stomper strain guide
Grape Stomper is a hybrid of Purple Elephant and Chemdawg Sour Diesel, credited to Gage Green Genetics. People know it for a grape candy smell sitting on a diesel base. Reviewers describe a clear, alert head feel with a lighter body than you might expect.
Where does Grape Stomper come from?
Grape Stomper is a cross of Jojorizo's Purple Elephant and an Elite Genetics cut called Chemdawg Sour Diesel. Purple Elephant is described as Purple Urkle crossed with Hashplant by one source and with an unknown strain by another. Chemdawg Sour Diesel is often said to be Headband crossed with Sour Diesel.
One strain database credits the cross to Gage Green Genetics, a California breeder. Dates are loose, with some accounts placing it in the late 2000s. Related names such as Grape Stomper OG use a different OG parent, so check the cultivar name on the package.
What does Grape Stomper smell and taste like?
A lab-tested review from High Times described grape candy with floral notes, with a sweet, burnt-cannabis smell filling the room. A user review on one strain database adds lime, lemon, lavender, pine, mint and diesel.
We found no published terpene results from the sources we trust, so we don't list any. The grape comes from the purple side of the family and the fuel from the Chem and Sour Diesel side.
Grape Stomper effects: what people report
The High Times reviewer called it a heavy indica on paper but found it lacked the usual couch lock, describing a very alert head feel with a functional body. That makes it a common pick for social time, TV or gaming in that account.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most commonly mentioned side effects.
How strong is Grape Stomper?
The only lab result we found was about 18.6% THC and 21% THCA in the High Times review. A user review on one strain database put it between 16% and 22%. That is a small amount of data, so expect your batch to vary.
Our guide to THCA vs THC explains why those two numbers differ. The label on your own package matters more than the strain name.
Buying Grape Stomper in Canada
Look for the exact name. Grape Stomper OG and crosses that use Grape Stomper as a parent are different products with different genetics.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date on the label, since fresher flower keeps more of its grape smell.
Grape Stomper vs Sour Grapes
Sour Grapes has a much less settled history. One strain database treats it as another name for Grape Stomper, while another gives Sour Diesel crossed with Grape Ape. Grape Stomper has a clearer, documented cross of Purple Elephant and Chemdawg Sour Diesel, with a sweet grape candy smell and a diesel base. Sour Grapes is usually listed lower in THC and leans toward a sourer grape smell. If you want the better-documented one, start with Grape Stomper.
