Merlot OG, more popularly known as the great Grape Valley Kush, came into existence by combining individually potent strains Grape Kush and SFV OG. An indica dominant strain, it has established Moxie Seeds’ image in the marijuana breeding industry. Moxie Seeds have been widely known to breed successfully by using extractions only. Regardless, the strains they have produced have always been considered as staples due to buds with abundant resins and the highest THC. Grape Valley Kush is just among their top creations.
With 95% indica genes and 5% indica components, the union of its parents produced a strong plant with dense, green nugs covered with sugary trichomes. Its scent is a mix of grapes, berries, and citruses with earthy and piney overtones.
Flavor and Effects of Grape Valley Kush
Regardless of the high THC level that Grape Valley Kush can offer, the euphoric high does not kick in right away. But once it does, the high deliberately rushes to the deepest crevices of your mind. It takes an hour and even two before the light pressure between your eyes finally goes down to massage every muscle of your body. After relaxing both head and body, you will feel enthusiastic, happy and talkative. These giggly effects make Grape Valley Kush a good strain if you are preparing for any social gatherings. It is the perfect strain for chilling out with the gang or catching up with the family. It tastes like fresh lemon and berry but leaves a piney and earthy aftertaste upon exhalation. The effects escalate in each puff.
Medical Benefits of Grape Valley Kush
The happy effects of Grape Valley Kush can open a new world of bliss for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD patients. It will leave them in a state of bliss by erasing all mood swings, triggering creativity and giving them a higher sense of themselves by increasing their productivity. The strain can also help trigger the appetite for those who are finding it hard to eat lately. This effect is attributed to the strain’s ability to soothe the stomach. It also rids the user’s headache, migraine and body pain.
Negative Effects of Grape Valley Kush
It is not a surprise anymore that Grape Valley Kush can cause dehydration. Make sure that you are prepared with a bottle or glass of water to combat dry eyes and dry mouth. With its high THC, it can stop salivation so better re-hydrate instead. Anxiety patients should also make sure to puff in moderation or it could leave them with hallucinations, headaches, or dizziness.
Growing Grape Valley Kush Some information and Tips
Due to its dominant indica genetics, Grape Valley Kush may not grow to a very tall plant but it cannot be underestimated in terms of bud production. To ensure abundant buds in each branch, nourish the strain’s potential by resorting to the Sea of Green method. This can increase the yield and also expedite the flowering timeframe.
While it can survive either outdoors or indoors, indoors is better so you can control the lighting, humidity and temperature. The temperature should never go beyond 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The potent strain also prefers lower humidity levels to prevent the unwanted presence of molds and powdery mildew.
