About Apollo 13
Apollo 13 is a sativa-dominant hybrid that offers a clear, focused high and a pronounced citrus flavour. It finishes in 8–10 weeks, performs reasonably well under protection outdoors, and rewards careful canopy management during Newport’s wet autumns.
Apollo 13 is a sativa-dominant hybrid with lively cerebral effects. It shows clear sativa structure and energising performance.
THC levels typically sit around 18–22%, giving it robust psychoactive strength. Users should start low and pace consumption due to its potency.
CBD content is low, usually under 1%, so it is not used for high-CBD therapies. It offers limited CBD balance against the THC-driven effects.
Apollo 13 descends from parents that emphasise sativa qualities. The reported lineage is Apollo x Haze, which explains its cerebral lift and citrus profile.
Seeds are available primarily as feminised photoperiod varieties for stable, predictable grows. Regulars may exist but most commercial packs are feminised.
Growing Apollo 13 is best suited to intermediate cultivators who can manage humidity. In Newport the rainy autumn harvest season requires careful mould prevention and extra ventilation.
Flowering finishes in about 8–10 weeks under ideal conditions. Outdoor plants in the UK may take the full span to reach maturity.
Yield is moderate, with well-managed grows producing consistent results. Expect smaller outdoor yields in wet seasons unless sheltered.
Plants reach a medium to tall stature with lanky branches and spaced nodes. The structure suits training but requires support in windy conditions.
Indoors Apollo 13 responds well to SCROG and SOG techniques in controlled environments in Newport. Outdoors it performs acceptably when grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel in Newport to reduce exposure to rain.
In Newport this strain needs shelter late in the season to cope with the rainy autumn harvest season. Careful canopy management and prompt disease checks are essential to prevent bud rot.
The high produces an uplifting, focused head high that suits daytime use. A light body relaxation follows, leaving users alert rather than sedated.
The flavour leans citrusy with sharp lemon top notes and an undercurrent of diesel. Earthy and herbal tones round out the smoke.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Keep the canopy open with pruning, increase air circulation, and remove any infected material promptly to reduce mould risk.
Aim to harvest before persistent autumn rains intensify, and use weather forecasts to pick a dry window for cutting and drying.
Yes, it tolerates cooler nights better than many pure sativas but prolonged cold will slow trichome development and stretch growth.
A greenhouse or polytunnel protects buds from rain and reduces mould, improving yield and quality in damp seasons.
Use a balanced nitrogen mix in veg then switch to phosphorus-rich bloom feed, while avoiding overfeeding that stresses plants in damp conditions.
Dry slowly at cool temperatures for 7–14 days, then cure in jars for several weeks, burping regularly to control humidity and develop flavour.
Herbs like basil and chamomile can deter pests and encourage beneficial insects without affecting airflow around buds.
Yes, Apollo 13 is often listed among cool climate cannabis strains due to its resilience and faster finishing time compared with many tropical sativas.
Yes, remove excess moisture quickly and use dehumidified drying rooms or fans with gentle airflow to prevent mould during drying.
Look for discoloured, brittle spots inside dense buds and musty odours; inspect the inner canopy daily in humid conditions.
