Ape Pie
Also known as: Ape Pie OG
Ape Pie Strain Overview
Ape Pie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two notable parent strains: Grease Monkey and Grape Pie. This combination creates a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the potent effects and complex flavor profiles of its distinguished lineage.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep purple hues interwoven with bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where the purple pigmentation becomes more vibrant. Ape Pie's buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage while maintaining some sativa-like branching patterns.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several cannabis publications for its unique combination of potency and flavor. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Ape Pie has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics.

Ape Pie Strain Growing Information
Ape Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Some phenotypes may require support during late flowering due to the weight of the resinous buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with many growers reporting enhanced terpene production when using organic nutrients.
