The Apex of THCa with Veteran Grown
Apex, a greenhouse-grown strain, is a unique creation crafted from the lineage of Gelato and Sunset Sherbert. Often referred to as "Sunset Gelato," this particular batch of the strain is special because it leans towards a sativa-like cerebral high. However, what sets it apart is its impressive 27.8% THCa content, a rarity for a sativa-dominant hybrid.
These big, dense buds boast remarkable bag appeal and emit a calming fragrance of earth and pine. Its sativa lean makes it an ideal companion for morning coffee, offering a refreshing start to the day. Despite its high bag appeal, some users might find the buds a little dry to the touch, even after proper storage in a jar with a Boveda pack at 62%. This minor dryness is really my only nitpick.
The smoking experience provided by Apex is noteworthy, characterized by a hearty, milky, and bold smoke that is neither harsh nor reaches choke levels. The combination of these attributes makes Apex a distinctive strain, and the slight flaky dryness does not significantly detract from the overall enjoyment, in my opinion.
For those with a lower tolerance, Apex might not be the best choice for a wake-and-bake session but would be an excellent option for an afternoon smoke. It's particularly suitable for those who prefer to gradually increase their THCa content throughout the day, transitioning from sativa to indica in the evening. Overall, Apex is a great choice from VG right now, offering a unique and satisfying experience for both novice and seasoned users alike.
