How to grow Apollo 11
Taste
Seb's take
Genius crossed with Cinderella 99, sweet, citrus and skunky-lemon on the nose with a resin coat on every bud. The high runs uplifted, euphoric and genuinely thought-provoking — one small toke, and so forth. Fast-flowering at 55-63 days, short and bushy, and well suited to SCROG or SOG training.
Where it comes from
Brothers Grimm Seeds drew this from Genius crossed with Cinderella 99, a fast-flowering regular line with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and a genuinely serious resin habit. The name reaches for the moon and the plant, to its credit, does not entirely disappoint. A regular seed rather than feminized, so it is aimed at growers happy to select their own keepers. A well-bred classic of the American bench.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and citrus lead, with a skunky, lemon-forward pungency behind and a real depth to the whole thing. It is loud in the good sense, the lemon sharp over a skunk base that gives it staying power. A resinous, characterful nose that does not travel discreetly, and would not want to.
The high
Uplifted, euphoric and genuinely thought-provoking, an energetic and cerebral experience rather than a settling one. One small toke, and so forth. The record also notes a happy, aroused quality alongside the lift, so this is convivial company, better suited to the day and its conversations than the quiet close of it. At up to 20% THC there is proper substance behind the cheer.
Growing it
Fast-flowering at fifty-five to sixty-three days under 12/12, on a medium ninety to a hundred and twenty centimetres. She grows short and bushy with dense, resinous buds and takes very well to SCROG or SoG, where the yields per square metre are best made the most of; the record gives eighty-five to a hundred and forty grams per plant. Vigorous indoors and out, and adaptable with it, at up to 20% THC. A rewarding plant for anyone who likes training their canopy.
