Ape Walker
Ape Walker Strain Overview
Ape Walker is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Gorilla Glue #4 and Skywalker OG. This combination results in a strain that inherits the heavy resin production and powerful effects of its parents, creating a cultivar known for its high THC content and complex terpene profile. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the best traits of two award-winning lineages, aiming for a plant with exceptional potency and a balanced yet intense experience. Its name references both parent strains, with 'Ape' nodding to Gorilla Glue and 'Walker' to Skywalker OG.
Visually, Ape Walker buds are typically dense and chunky, with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers exhibit deep green hues often interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty, amber-tinted trichomes, indicative of its high resin content. The aroma is complex and pungent, blending earthy, diesel-like notes from its Gorilla Glue heritage with a sweeter, citrusy undertone from Skywalker OG. When cultivated properly, the buds are notably sticky to the touch, a trait characteristic of its glue lineage.
Notable features of Ape Walker include its exceptionally high THC levels, which frequently range between 20% and 28%, making it one of the more potent hybrids available. This potency, combined with its balanced genetic profile, results in effects that are both cerebral and physical. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its long-lasting and powerful impact. Due to its strength, it is generally recommended for consumers with higher tolerance levels, and novice users are advised to approach with caution.

Ape Walker Strain Growing Information
Ape Walker is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. The plants tend to be of medium height, making them manageable for indoor setups, but they can stretch significantly during the flowering phase. Preferred growing conditions include a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high, with proper training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) recommended to maximize light exposure and bud development. The plants require good airflow to prevent mold due to their dense bud structure. Outdoor harvests in the Northern Hemisphere usually occur around mid-October. Growers should note its high nutrient demands during the flowering stage.
