Apollo 13 Sativa
Also known as: Apollo 13, A13
Apollo 13 Sativa Strain Overview
Apollo 13 Sativa is a highly regarded cannabis strain developed by the legendary breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics. The strain was created by crossing Apollo 13 (a sativa-dominant phenotype of Apollo 11) with a selected Genius phenotype, resulting in a potent sativa that has gained a cult following among cannabis enthusiasts. The name references both the Apollo space program and the strain's cerebral, uplifting effects that users describe as 'out of this world.'
Visually, Apollo 13 Sativa typically produces medium to large plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds are known for their dense structure and resinous appearance, with some phenotypes exhibiting purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks and is known for its vigorous growth pattern, often requiring some height management in indoor settings.
Apollo 13 Sativa is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile and potent cerebral effects. While primarily sativa in its effects, some phenotypes may exhibit slight indica characteristics. The strain has been used in numerous breeding projects due to its desirable traits and has spawned several popular offspring, including Apollo 13 BX (backcross) varieties. Its reputation among connoisseurs stems from its consistent quality and the distinctive experience it provides.

Apollo 13 Sativa Strain Growing Information
Apollo 13 Sativa is considered moderately difficult to grow and is better suited for experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks and prefers indoor growing conditions where height can be managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates. Indoor plants typically reach 100-150 cm in height, while outdoor plants can exceed 200 cm. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants require good air circulation and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and maximize yield. Apollo 13 Sativa is somewhat sensitive to nutrients and prefers a balanced feeding schedule with careful monitoring to avoid nutrient burn.
