Sour Ape

Despite her strong indica roots, Sour Ape has a way about her that will almost guarantee an energetic and amazing day. Bred by Joseph Arthur Botanicals in Colorado, this strain owes its effects to Grape Ape and Sour Diesel, resulting in a bud that’s super strong in more ways than one. Both recreational and medical users find Sour Ape to be one of their go-to’s.

High THC is usually a plus, and Sour Ape doesn’t disappoint as at least 23% on average will be working its way into your system. Simply looking at the nugs lets you know that you’re in for a treat, with deep purple undertones that feature a rich coating of crystal trichomes. While some may find the flavors and aromas of this strain to be too much, others fully enjoy the mix of sour grape, berries, and diesel.

Sour Ape’s effects don’t quite match up with her description, because the energy that you can experience from her 80% indica roots is mind-blowing. We’re not saying that you’ll suddenly run a marathon or complete a week’s worth of work, but you’ll certainly experience a cerebral lift that’s motivating and creative. While you’re in this place, try to get as much done as you can, because soon enough it will all change. As your energy subsidies, you’ll sink into a relaxing dreamland that ends your day in the best possible way.

Given that you’re able to experience a full range of highs and lows with Sour Ape, it makes this strain ideal for the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions. Bodily pain is soothed during your comedown and mental concerns of depression and stress take a back seat to the good vibes your brain is filled with. Some even note that Sour Ape imparts a decent case of the munchies, so it can be helpful for those who deal with nausea or a lack of appetite.

Interested in growing your own Sour Ape? You may find this to be one of the best experiments you’ve done in a while, as information about cultivation is tough to nail down. Common sense would dictate that using typical indica growing methods will be best, but again, who’s to say what will actually cause this plant to thrive? Your best bet is to try a little bit of everything in order to yield maximum results.

Sour Ape may have a strong taste, but once you get past that initial exhale, get ready to experience an ideal high. While you could use this strain during any time of the day, timing it to fully hit you in the later part of the afternoon may be the best way to go. By the time you start to come down, you’ll already be comfortable on the couch with snacks in hand!
