Super Ape
Also known as: Super Ape OG, Super Ape Kush
Super Ape Strain Overview
Super Ape is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two legendary parent strains, resulting in a balanced yet powerful experience. The strain was developed by crossing Super Silver Haze with Gorilla Glue #4 (also known as GG4), creating a unique combination of sativa-leaning effects with indica-dominant physical relaxation. This genetic blend has made Super Ape popular among both recreational and medicinal users seeking a well-rounded cannabis experience.
Visually, Super Ape typically produces dense, resinous buds with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor often includes hints of sweetness and spice on the exhale.
Super Ape is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning into full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity in the cannabis community for its versatility and reliable effects, though it remains less widely available than some of its parent strains. Growers appreciate Super Ape for its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and generous resin production, making it suitable for both hash and flower production.

Super Ape Strain Growing Information
Super Ape is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants tend to grow to medium height with a bushy structure, requiring some training and pruning to maximize light penetration and airflow. Super Ape responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques. The strain has good resistance to common molds and pests but benefits from proper ventilation and humidity control during flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
