Modified Grapes genetics

Modified Grapes is a cross of GMO and Purple Punch. Sacramento, Calif.-based breeders Symbiotic Genetics are credited with creating the variety. This team is also behind the wildly popular Mimosa strain, so you know Modified Grapes is going to be a winner.

Zooming out from the Modified Grapes family tree, the variety has several notable strains as ancestors. Descendants include Granddaddy Purp, Chemdawg, and Skunk #1. Despite its gassy lineage, this modern strain shines in a fruit-forward way.

Terpenes and cannabinoids in Modified Grapes

Modified Grapes has a delectable terpene profile that creates a true flavor explosion in its smoke. This includes citrusy limonene, peppery caryophyllene, and evergreen pinene. Depending on how the strain is grown, the flavor profile could end up being more berry sweet or gassy.

One Reddit reviewer found his flower to be more funk-forward, with notes of fuel. Another reported a candy bouquet, reminiscent of children’s cold medicine. 

The THC content of Modified Grapes is typically between 22 and 30 percent, making it ideal for people with higher tolerances. It may also have trace amounts of the cannabinoids CBC and CBG, making it great for people with inflammation (more on that below).

The Modified Grapes experience

Modified Grapes is considered a hybrid weed strain, offering relaxing and sedative effects. Many consumers praise the variety for its stress-relieving abilities, which help melt away all the cares of the world. Additionally, the cannabinoid profile has anti-inflammatory properties, making this strain particularly beneficial at the end of a long day to help the muscles unwind.

However, it’s important to note that every person is different and individual effects may vary. Just look at the reviews of Modified Grapes online.

One reviewer experienced more of a head high, writing, “Very much a ‘Shoulders and up’ high to me. Feel it in the tops of my shoulders, behind my eyes, and that halo/headband effect.”

Another review said Modified Grapes will have you heading straight for the kitchen, recalling, “I had a slight cotton mouth, with severe munchies…Overall, this strain had me feeling happy, sleepy, hungry.”

If you decide to try Modified Grapes, it’s recommended to enjoy it in the later part of the day, as the strain can be sedative. Take a hit or two and wait fifteen minutes. Since this variety is higher in THC, it may hit you like a ton of bricks. Or you may decide to take another toke or two.
