Mephisto Genetics Seeds Double Grape AUTO

Genetic Heritage
Double Grape AUTO is a refined strain from Mephisto Genetics, emerging as part of their second Illuminauto drop and now elevated to a limited edition release. The genetics of this strain combine two grape-heavy lineages: Sour Stomper (a cross between Sour Crack's Grape Pheno and Grape Stomper OG) and Grape Crinkle (a blend of Canadian Crinkle, Supernatural, and Ripley’s OG). From the moment the F3 artisanal run began, Double Grape was marked as a priority project due to its remarkable frostiness and bold flavors, making it an ideal choice for extraction enthusiasts and grape lovers alike.

Growth Characteristics
Double Grape AUTO is a bushy, medium-height autoflower that adapts well to various grow environments, whether indoors or outdoors. With a flowering time of 65 to 70 days, it delivers a relatively quick turnaround, making it appealing for growers seeking both speed and quality. Its structure is compact and dense, with a natural tendency to branch out, which allows for good light distribution across the plant. While its bushy growth habit may benefit from some light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, this strain generally requires minimal maintenance, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.

Aroma Profile
The aroma of Double Grape AUTO is a rich and complex blend that highlights its grape lineage. Upon entering a grow space, the air is filled with an unmistakable sweet and tangy scent, reminiscent of freshly crushed grapes. As the buds mature, this sweetness deepens, complemented by notes of sour fruit that create a multidimensional fragrance. The Grape Crinkle lineage adds a subtle undertone of earthy complexity, while hints of tartness from the Sour Stomper shine through, creating a dynamic aromatic experience that keeps evolving throughout the flowering cycle.

Flavor Profile
Double Grape AUTO delivers a mouthwatering flavor profile that echoes its aromatic notes, offering a deliciously grape-forward experience. The first inhale reveals a burst of sweet grape, followed by a pleasant tartness that tingles the taste buds. As the flavor lingers, the complex interplay of sweet and sour becomes more pronounced, providing a balanced and layered tasting experience. The rich, fruity essence of Double Grape is complemented by subtle earthy undertones, making each hit both smooth and satisfying. This strain is perfect for those who appreciate bold fruit flavors with a twist of sour complexity.

Resin Production and Appearance
One of the standout features of Double Grape AUTO is its extraordinary resin production, which covers the buds in a thick, frosty layer of trichomes. This strain is highly sought after for extraction due to its heavy resin output, making it ideal for producing concentrates and hash. The buds themselves are dense and compact, exhibiting a striking visual appeal with their glittering trichome coverage that gives them a frosted, almost sugar-dusted appearance. Beneath the resin-coated surface, the buds show deep shades of green, with subtle purple hues that may emerge as the plant nears harvest, further enhancing its visual appeal.

Cultivation Insights
Double Grape AUTO is a versatile strain that can thrive in a variety of growing conditions, making it suitable for indoor setups or outdoor gardens. Given its bushy structure and medium height, it’s well-suited for smaller spaces or for growers looking to maximize their yield with higher plant densities. The plant's robust nature means that it can handle minor stress well, though heavy training is not recommended due to its limited vegetative period. Light defoliation and low-stress training techniques can help ensure that all branches receive ample light, leading to uniform bud development. With a yield range of 90 to 140 grams per plant, Double Grape AUTO offers a generous harvest for those seeking a high-quality autoflowering option. Its easy-to-grow nature, combined with outstanding flavors and resin production, makes it a popular choice among both casual cultivators and connoisseurs.
