Ape Tranquilizer by Calyx Bros Seed Co
Unknown
Ape Tranquilizer is an indica-dominant cultivar from Calyx Bros. Seed Co., recognized for its high THC content and potent, relaxing effects. It is often categorized with nighttime strains due to its deeply calming and potentially sedative profile.
Appearance
This cultivar typically develops dense, compact buds resembling golf balls or eggs, with prominent calyx stacking and minimal leaf presence after trimming. Its coloration can range from deep olive to shades of violet or near-black, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. Bright tangerine to rust-colored pistils contrast with a frosty coating of trichomes, giving the buds a silvery appearance under certain lighting.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Ape Tranquilizer is characterized by dark fruit notes, often described as grape syrup, layered over diesel and earthy undertones with hints of black pepper. Upon grinding, deeper scents of wood and chocolate may emerge. The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, starting with a jammy grape taste that transitions into diesel-sour and spicy earthiness, finishing with woody and cocoa notes.
Effects
Upon consumption, Ape Tranquilizer induces a profound sense of calm and relaxation, often accompanied by a heavy, eyelid-drooping sensation within minutes. Users report a quieting of mental rumination and deep muscular relaxation, with effects fully saturating within 15-25 minutes. The experience is anchored and calm, with a focus on bodily sensations rather than heightened cognition, and can last for 2-4 hours, potentially leading to sleep at higher doses.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Ape Tranquilizer is consistently reported to be high in THC, typically ranging from 23% to 30%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is commonly led by myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, with supporting contributions from linalool and humulene. Total terpene content often falls between 1.8% and 3.2%.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Calyx Bros. Seed Co., a breeder known for resin-rich and terpene-dense selections, Ape Tranquilizer's exact genetic lineage has not been publicly disclosed. However, its sensory profile, including grape-forward and peppery notes, suggests potential influence from classic indica and Kush-adjacent genetics. The cultivar was developed with a focus on sedative effect intensity and dense flower structure.
Growing Information
Ape Tranquilizer performs best in controlled indoor environments with precise temperature and humidity management. Optimal flowering temperatures are between 24-28°C during the day and 18-22°C at night, with cooler temperatures encouraged late in bloom to enhance color and terpene retention. The buds are known for their density and robust resin coverage.
