Elephant Stomper
Grape Stomper × Purple Elephant
Elephant Stomper is a hybrid cannabis cultivar recognized for its potent THC content and appealing sensory profile. Developed by Gage Green Group, it balances sweet, grape-forward notes with underlying diesel tones, offering a complex experience for both consumers and cultivators.
Appearance
Elephant Stomper typically presents dense, medium-sized buds with abundant trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance. The flowers can display a range of colors from green to deep purple, especially under cooler nighttime temperatures, contrasted by bright orange pistils. A tight trim is often preferred to highlight the resinous quality and minimize leaf material.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Elephant Stomper is dominated by sweet grape candy, often accompanied by berry and floral undertones. A subtle skunky or diesel note can also be detected, hinting at its lineage. On the palate, flavors of sugared grape and ripe berries are common, sometimes followed by citrus or a peppery spice, with a lingering floral or resinous finish.
Effects
Consumers report that Elephant Stomper delivers a euphoric mood lift, often described as lively and uplifting. Its effects are generally considered balanced, providing a pleasant cerebral experience that can also induce a sense of relaxation. The potency can lead to a significant, or 'elephant-sized,' impact, particularly at higher doses.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Elephant Stomper is characterized by its high THC content, typically ranging from 15% to 25%, with CBD levels below 1%. Common terpenes found in this strain include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, which contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor profile. The high resin production also makes it a favored cultivar for concentrate extraction.
Growing
This cultivar is known for its relatively fast flowering time, often finishing indoors in about eight to nine weeks. Elephant Stomper is bred for robust trichome density and good yields, making it a strong candidate for growers seeking high resin production. It can exhibit vivid coloration, particularly deep purples, when exposed to cooler night temperatures during the late flowering stage.
Origins & Lineage
Elephant Stomper is widely attributed to Gage Green Group and emerged in the early 2010s. Its lineage commonly involves a cross between Grape Stomper and Purple Elephant, sometimes with an additional influence from an Aloha-line strain like White Widow or OG. This combination aims to enhance grape and candy flavors, resin output, and visual appeal.
