Apex

Apex, also known as Ethos Apex, is a hybrid strain created by Denver-based breeder Ethos Genetics. It is a cross between Mandarin Cookies and Lilac Diesel BX4. The strain is noted for producing resinous, crystal-covered buds with a complex aromatic profile featuring notes of candied lilac, lemon cake, chemical undertones, and petrol.

The experience provided by Apex varies based on the specific phenotype. Lemony, sweet-leaning variants are reported to lean toward a cerebral, sativa-dominant effect, while those expressing gassier orange and grapefruit notes tend to provide a heavier, physically grounding experience. Overall, the breeder associates the strain with a classic, giggly "stoner" high.
