Apollo
Also known as: Apollo 13, A13
Overview
Apollo, also known as Apollo 13, is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid strain (85% sativa/15% indica) created by the renowned breeders Brothers Grimm in the 1990s. This incredibly rare strain is an intense cross between the potent P75 and Genius strains, with Genius being a Jack Herer phenotype. The strain earned its cosmic name due to its ability to deliver an 'out-of-this-world cerebral' experience that users describe as feeling like their mind is floating in space. Apollo is considered one of the most stable old-school genetics from the 90s and was originally created by legendary cannabis breeder MrSoul (Rick Campanella). The strain produces dark, fluffy, dense olive green nugs with purple and gold undertones, fiery orange hairs speckled throughout, and a thick layer of crystalline trichomes. Apollo is known for its extremely fast flowering time of under 8 weeks and its vigorous growth characteristics. The strain has earned praise for its consistency and quality, with only 500 original seeds ever made according to Brothers Grimm documentation, making authentic cuts extremely valuable in the cannabis community.

Growing Information
Apollo is considered beginner-friendly and requires little attention during cultivation. The strain has an extremely fast flowering time of 55-63 days (7-8 weeks), making it ideal for growers seeking quick turnaround. It produces heavy yields and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 30-60 inches indoors or 60-80 inches outdoors. The strain responds well to Sea of Green (SOG) and Screen of Green (SCROG) techniques. Apollo prefers daytime temperatures around 75°F but doesn't like cold nighttime temperatures. The plant has a vine-like growth pattern creating a wide, sagging bush that needs support to prevent bud flop. It's known for producing dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes. Indoor yields are typically heavy, and the strain is praised for its stability and uniformity.
