Apes In Space by Exotic Genetix
Apes In Space is a predominantly indica cultivar developed by Exotic Genetix, a breeder recognized for creating resinous, dessert-inspired hybrids. This strain is characterized by its dense, trichome-rich flowers and a complex aroma profile.
Appearance
Apes In Space produces dense, indica-leaning buds with a high bract-to-leaf ratio, often displaying deep forest green to olive coloration. Phenotypes may exhibit purple hues when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures, and prominent fire-orange pistils contrast with a heavy coating of white trichomes. The buds are typically compact and conical, with pronounced calyx swelling and minimal internodal spacing, resembling hard golf balls.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Apes In Space is a robust combination of sweet dessert notes and assertive gas. Initial impressions are often of diesel and kerosene, underpinned by a doughy, cookie-like sweetness with hints of vanilla and cocoa, reminiscent of its Cookies-era lineage. Secondary aromas include earthy, woody, and subtle black pepper or clove nuances. The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, delivering a sweet fuel on the palate with creamy cookie and vanilla undertones on the inhale.
Effects
While specific effects are not extensively detailed, strains with a similar chemotype and indica-dominant heritage are typically associated with body relaxation and physical ease. The reported potency suggests it may provide a focused experience, aligning with its indica-leaning structure bred for relaxation rather than racy head effects.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Apes In Space is reported to have a THC content ranging from 15-25% and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often characterized by clusters known for spicy, earthy, and gassy tones, frequently including beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene or humulene. This terpene composition contributes to its aromatic qualities and potential effects.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Exotic Genetix, Apes In Space is a predominantly indica cultivar. While the breeder has not publicly disclosed a definitive parentage, its characteristics are consistent with Cookies and Glue era genetics. The strain has also been utilized as a parent in newer hybrids, such as Space Cookies, indicating its stable and desirable traits for breeding projects.
Growing
Growers report that Apes In Space produces dense, trichome-heavy flowers with compact internodes, indicative of indica dominance. The plant structure tends to yield hard, stackable colas that require support during late flower due to their weight. Its low leaf-to-flower ratio contributes to high trim quality and efficient post-harvest processing, resulting in visually appealing, hand-friendly nugs.
