Black Apollo
Also known as: Black Apollo 13
Black Apollo Strain Overview
Black Apollo is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that combines genetics from the Apollo 13 and Black Domina lineages. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a plant with the cerebral effects of Apollo 13 and the deep physical relaxation of Black Domina. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, it emerged during the early 2000s as part of the expanding hybrid market, though it never achieved the widespread commercial popularity of some other hybrids.
The plant typically produces dense, conical buds with dark green to purple coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The visual appearance can vary depending on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures often enhancing the purple hues. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage while maintaining some sativa-like branching patterns.
Black Apollo is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle fruity undertones. The flavor experience typically mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries through to the exhale. The strain's effects are characterized by a balanced onset that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, making it suitable for evening use.

Black Apollo Strain Growing Information
Black Apollo is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. It tends to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for branches that may become heavy with resinous flowers. The plant responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
