Sticky Grapes Eleven
Grape Stomper (potential) × Grape Pie (potential) × Cookies (potential) × GMO (potential)
Sticky Grapes Strain Eleven is a hybrid cultivar celebrated for its resinous trichome production and distinct purple-fruit aroma. It represents a favored phenotype, selected for a specific balance of sensory traits and effects.
Appearance
This cultivar typically features dense, conical buds with a calyx-forward structure. The flowers display deep green hues interspersed with purple streaks, often intensifying with cooler temperatures. Apricot to orange pistils add visual contrast. A heavy coating of long-stalked trichomes gives the buds a frosty, silvery appearance and a noticeably tacky texture, making them challenging to trim but visually appealing.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a potent wave of grape candy, reminiscent of concord jelly and candied berries, underpinned by earthy and diesel notes. As it warms, hints of citrus, floral lavender, and cream emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with a candy-forward inhale dominated by concord grape and blackberry, followed by a mild pastry sweetness and a touch of citrus. The exhale introduces subtle spice and pepper notes, sometimes with a faint diesel finish, leaving a lingering grape jam aftertaste.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is suggested to be anchored by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, with contributions from linalool and humulene. This combination contributes to the strain's complex aroma and flavor. THC content typically ranges from 18-22%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source, the description suggests a balanced hybrid experience. The selection criteria for this phenotype focused on a precise balance of aroma, resin output, and effect, indicating a potentially potent and well-rounded experience favored by consumers seeking rich terpene intensity.
Origins and Lineage
Sticky Grapes Strain Eleven is identified as a specific, numbered phenotype from a breeding program, not a distinct cross. The designation "Eleven" or "#11" signifies a favored selection from a pheno hunt, chosen for its exceptional aroma, resin production, and effects. While the precise lineage is not standardized, grape-dominant strains often descend from cultivars like Grape Stomper or Grape Pie, potentially crossed with resin-forward lines such as those derived from Cookies or GMO to enhance potency and trichome density. It is often propagated as a clone-only cut.
Cultivation
Growers consistently note the cultivar's heavy trichome coverage and tacky finish, which is advantageous for hash production but complicates manual trimming. Pheno-locked expressions often exhibit a stable, medium height with strong lateral branching, allowing for predictable canopy management and harvest planning. Its selection criteria often include high resin output, with potential for above-average solventless yields.
