Grapefruit is a sativa-dominant hybrid (70/30) attributed to Nectar Seeds, built on Cinderella 99 (Brothers Grimm Seeds) crossed with a Thai Sativa landrace. C99 contributes tropical pineapple-citrus flavor from its Brazilian landrace genetics; the Thai Sativa parent shifts the citrus expression toward fresh grapefruit rind.

The terpene profile is Limonene-dominant with Terpinolene as a close secondary — both associated with bright, energizing, uplifting daytime effects. Effects are clear-headed, social, and creative without the body sedation of Myrcene-dominant strains. Best for daytime and early-evening use.

Grapefruit is best known as one of the parents of Zkittlez (Grape Ape × Grapefruit × unknown third strain) — the 2016 Emerald Cup winner. Grapefruit contributed the citrus brightness and sativa energy that, when crossed with Grape Ape's 90% indica Myrcene-dominant heaviness, produced the Caryophyllene-dominant candy hybrid Zkittlez became.
