Apollo 13

Apollo 13 is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Brothers Grimm, the operation best known for Cinderella 99, and it pairs the breeder's Princess 75 line with a Genius mother, both descending from the same Jack Herer-derived Princess cut. According to widely repeated accounts, the original run produced only a few hundred seeds before the cross was retired, which turned authentic Apollo 13 into one of the more sought-after collector items of its era. The strain's name and reputation have kept it in circulation through clones and later re-creations, including reworked versions offered after the breeder's return.

Profile

Buds are typically medium-sized and moderately dense with a slightly tapered shape, lime green with sparse pistils and a fine, even trichome layer. The aroma is commonly described as sharp and complex, blending citrus, funky fruit, and a peppery, almost sour vegetal note that period growers found unmistakable. Flavor tends toward tangy fruit and spice with a clean herbal finish. Terpinolene, myrcene, and caryophyllene are among the terpenes most frequently reported in lab testing of flower sold under this name. The profile sits close to its Cinderella 99 sibling but reads funkier and less purely sweet.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a quick, vivid, energizing onset with a rush of chatter and forward momentum, followed by an even, comfortable glide. Some consumers commonly report that the pace feels strong for newcomers at larger amounts. Reported experiences vary with individual tolerance, dose, and consumption method, and these descriptions do not represent medical or therapeutic outcomes.

Cultivation notes

Growers typically report a fast-finishing plant for a sativa-leaning hybrid, commonly around 8 weeks of flowering, with moderate height and vigorous branching. The line is generally described as easy to run indoors, with heavy resin for its era and a strong response to topping. Yields are commonly reported as moderate, and because verified seed stock is scarce, much circulating material comes from clones or later re-creations of the cross.
