Apes in Space strain guide
Apes in Space is a hybrid from Exotic Genetix, a cross of Falcon 9 and Grease Monkey. People know it for a skunky, earthy and spicy smell with some fruit underneath, and for a feel that's mostly relaxing and can hit hard. It's still a fairly rare find.
Where does Apes in Space come from?
Apes in Space was bred by Exotic Genetix, a breeder based in Washington State. Two strain databases agree on the cross: Falcon 9 and Grease Monkey, another Exotic Genetix strain made from Gorilla Glue #4 and Cookies and Cream.
One strain database traces Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies in its wider family tree. The name is likely a play on its parents, the gorilla side and a Falcon 9 rocket, though the breeder hasn't said so in anything we found.
What does Apes in Space smell and taste like?
Expect skunk and earth up front, with spice and a little fuel. Under that, some people pick up orchard fruit like apple and apricot, and one reviewer mentions candied lemon. A sharp, ammonia-like note shows up in one strain database's flavour tags too.
Caryophyllene leads its published terpene results, followed by limonene, with myrcene and pinene also listed. Caryophyllene brings the spicy, peppery side, while limonene adds the citrus lift.
Apes in Space effects: what people report
People most often describe Apes in Space as relaxed, happy and creative, with a euphoric lift at first. As it goes on, many reports say it turns into a heavy body feel, and some reviewers found it knocked them out.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the most common complaints.
How strong is Apes in Space?
Listings put Apes in Space at about 20% to 25% THC, with an average near 23% and very little CBD. User-reported batches range more widely, from the low teens to the mid 20s.
Given its heavy reputation, start small if it's new to you and wait before having more. The THC on your label is what matters.
Buying Apes in Space in Canada
It's not a common strain, so read the label to confirm the name and producer. You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its skunky, spicy smell.
Apes in Space vs Grease Monkey
Grease Monkey is one of Apes in Space's parents, and both come from Exotic Genetix. Grease Monkey is known for a gassy smell with vanilla sweetness from its Cookies and Cream side, while Apes in Space leans skunkier and spicier, with fruit rather than vanilla underneath. Both are described as relaxing with a heavy finish. If you like sweet and gassy, start with Grease Monkey. If skunk and spice sound better, try Apes in Space.
