Frozen Grapes by In House Genetics
Grape Pie × Breath Family (presumed)
Frozen Grapes is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by In House Genetics, a breeder recognized for resin-rich plants and dessert-inspired terpene profiles. This strain is celebrated for its striking trichome coverage and a complex aroma that blends fruity sweetness with a gas-like undertone.
Appearance & Bag Appeal
Frozen Grapes typically exhibits a compact, indica-like structure with broad leaves and tight internode spacing. Under cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle, the buds can develop deep violet and purple hues, contrasting with bright green sugar leaves. The flowers are known for dense calyx stacking and exceptional trichome coverage, often appearing 'sugared' even before full maturity, contributing to significant bag appeal and suitability for solventless extraction.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Frozen Grapes is often described as a combination of grape jelly and fuel, complemented by notes of sweet cream and a subtle, cooling herbal quality that lends to its 'frozen' moniker. Consumers frequently detect a grape-forward scent, sometimes leaning towards candy-like sweetness or darker, jammy berry notes layered over an earthy base. The flavor profile mirrors this complexity, offering a blend of fruit, candy, and a hint of diesel.
Effects & Potential Benefits
As a mostly indica strain, Frozen Grapes typically delivers relaxing, body-focused effects. At moderate to high doses, it is often associated with sedating potential, making it a popular choice for evening use. Lower doses may provide a more functional and uplifting mood. Consumers have reported experiencing euphoric sensations. This strain may be used to help manage discomfort and feelings of stress.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data varies, common terpene profiles associated with Frozen Grapes suggest a foundation of Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. Supporting aromatic compounds like Linalool and Ocimene may also be present, contributing to its complex bouquet. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels generally below 1%.
Cultivation Insights
Frozen Grapes is considered a disciplined indica-dominant plant, often exhibiting squat growth, strong apical dominance, and manageable stretch during flowering, typically between 30-60%. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, favoring uniform canopy development. The strain is noted for its consistent resin density and favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio. Indoor yields can range from 450-600 g/m², while outdoor plants may yield 800-1500 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by In House Genetics, Frozen Grapes is a relatively recent cultivar, likely emerging in the late 2010s. While the breeder has not universally standardized its formal parentage, community observations and sensory cues suggest a lineage connected to grape-themed genetics and the 'Breath' family. This points to a genetic background that combines grape and berry esters with robust, gas-laced varietals, aligning with In House Genetics' focus on dessert-inspired, high-resin cultivars.
