Mendo Og (Docs OG x (Docs Og x (Grape Ape x Hindu Kush) sits between Grape Ape and Hindu Kush: an Apothecary Genetics indica and one of the plants that fixed grape as a cannabis flavour on one side, an Afghan landrace from the mountains it is named after, and the genetic base under most modern indicas on the other. Cedar Berry work a small number of plants repeatedly rather than sourcing a new parent for every release.

Grape Ape sits on the seed side here, Hindu Kush on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• First parent: Docs OG. Breeding stock rather than a release. What is known about it lives in the crosses.
• Second parent: (Docs Og. Part of the working collection rather than the product range, so the plants are the only real account of it.
• Third parent: Grape Ape. An Apothecary Genetics indica and one of the plants that fixed grape as a cannabis flavour. It traces back to Mendocino Purps x Skunk #1 x Afghani.
• Fourth parent: Hindu Kush. An Afghan landrace from the mountains it is named after, and the genetic base under most modern indicas. It traces back to a landrace from the Hindu Kush range on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border; no cross. Grown in the region for far longer than any breeding record exists, and selected there for hash production rather than for flower..
• The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Grape candy over a musky earth base from the Grape Ape side, against sandalwood and earth with a sweet hash note from the Hindu Kush side.
• The Taste. Sweet grape with an earthy finish up front, turning to earthy hash, thick on the exhale through the exhale.

What each side brings

• What to budget. The documented side, Grape Ape, runs seven to eight weeks. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Two noses, one pack. Grape Ape contributes grape candy over a musky earth base. Hindu Kush contributes sandalwood and earth with a sweet hash note. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Squat, broad-leaf plants with tight purple flower from one parent; short, broad-leaf plants with dense, resin-caked flower from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. Grape Ape is reported as heavily indica, physical and settling; Hindu Kush as heavy, physical and calming. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Grape Ape is squat, broad-leaf plants with tight purple flower. Hindu Kush is short, broad-leaf plants with dense, resin-caked flower.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Grape Ape runs seven to eight weeks, Hindu Kush seven to eight weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Grape Ape as heavily indica, physical and settling.
• The Body. Hindu Kush is reported as heavy, physical and calming, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
