Ape Diesel
Ape Diesel
Also known as: Sour Ape
Overview
Ape Diesel, also known as Sour Ape, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Joseph Arthur Botanicals in Colorado. This strain is created through crossing two legendary strains: Sour Diesel and Grape Ape, resulting in a powerful combination that offers the best qualities of both parent strains. The strain has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile and potent effects, making it popular among both recreational and medical cannabis users. Ape Diesel buds are visually striking, featuring small diamond-shaped forest green nugs with bright orange hairs, dark purple undertones, and a heavy coating of frosty milky amber crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits hints of purple that peek through from under its crystal-rich resin blanket. The aroma profile is complex and enticing, combining sweet fruity berry grape flavors with pungent diesel notes and spicy undertones. This creates a distinctive bouquet that blends skunk and diesel scents with sweet grape overtones and earthy, herbal notes. The flavor follows suit with a sweet and fruity berry grape taste complemented by a lightly spicy exhale and sour peppery diesel finish.

Growing Information
Ape Diesel is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate that adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments. The strain prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, making it suitable for various cultivation setups. It has a relatively short flowering period of 7-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to mid-October. Indoor yields range from 10-12 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 12+ ounces per plant. The strain benefits from regular pruning to enhance bud development and prevent mold due to its dense structure. Growers should pay attention to canopy management and humidity control for optimal results. The plants respond well to the Sea of Green (SOG) method and require adequate spacing due to their bushy structure.
