Apollo 13 Strain

Apollo 13 is a sativa dominant hybrid strain that’s known for its generous trichome coverage, candy aroma and uplifting effects. This strain has been a favourite among sativa lovers for many years, due to its euphoric and creative high. Though the exact genetics is still up for debate, experts believe it’s a cross between P75 and Genius. If there is any truth to the previous statement, then Apollo 13 has a truly decorated lineage, as Genius is a Jack Herer phenotype.

Strain Effects

Though this is subjective, our smoke test of the Apollo 13 strain shows that the high hits in two phases. To start, the onset starts with a slight mental lift, which is calming and slightly euphoric. Instead of overwhelming, this initial head buzz was just strong enough to clear mental fog and elevate overall mood. Soon after, the effects start to strengthen. Though there wasn’t any couch lock effects, we experienced a relaxing sensation in our muscles, with body tension being replaced with a calming sensation.

With limonene being one of the dominant terpenes in Apollo 13, you can expect this strain to be not only have a delicious citrus taste, but also helpful in promoting mental clarity and brightness. Besides being useful in anxiety and stress relief, medicinal users also use Apollo 13 for mild pain management.

Aroma and Appearance

Apollo 13 doesn’t just deliver some of the most pleasing effects when it comes to sativa strains, it’s also a treat on your sensory receptors. The aroma consists of a candy grape mix, with a splash of earthy pine. As you break apart the resinous buds, you’ll be greeted with a funky sweet scent, which also contains spicy hints of floral undertones. The aroma and flavour carries through on the smoke, with tasty candy notes quite pronounced on the inhale.

Visually, this strain lives up to its name. Buds are dense and absolutely coated in shimmering trichomes that catch the light like diamonds. Colours range from deep forest green to soft pinks and purples, all accented by vivid orange hairs. It’s the kind of flower that turns heads in any stash jar.
