Also known as: Ape in Space
Overview
Apes in Space is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by Exotic Genetix through crossing Falcon 9 and Grease Monkey. The strain produces dense, dark green buds with purple undertones and orange pistils, heavily coated in trichomes. This rare and exotic strain has a skunky, earthy, and spicy flavor with a potent and balanced high that is difficult to find in the market. Its lineage includes many popular strains of the 20th century, including GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) and Gorilla Glue, through its parent genetics. Created by Washington-based Exotic Genetix, this strain has since gone on to sire Space Berries, Hangar 43, and Falcon Heavy.
Apes in Space stands out for its impressive visual characteristics and complex terpene profile. The strain's dense, spade-shaped buds showcase a rich dark green base color, beautifully complemented by distinct purple undertones, with twisted orange pistils weaving throughout the buds and an extraordinary coating of sticky trichomes giving them a glistening, resinous appearance. The cultivar demonstrates the sophisticated breeding techniques of modern cannabis genetics, representing a successful fusion of classic indica traits with contemporary potency standards.

Growing Information
Apes in Space can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 56-63 days (approximately 8-9 weeks). The plant reaches medium to tall height and produces heavy yields. It has an indica-dominant growth pattern (70/30) and requires multi-topped bush training. Plants develop into impressive specimens that command attention in any grow space during their flowering period. The strain produces dense buds that demand disciplined post-harvest handling to prevent mold and preserve terpenes, typically requiring 10-14 days of curing at around 60°F/60% RH to maintain springiness while avoiding trapped moisture. Growers should be prepared for the plant's robust trichome production and resinous characteristics.
