Breeder's Description - 'Apollo 11' | | Apollo 11 is a awesome indoor hybrid that is Sativa dominant it has a high calyx/leaf ratio & finishes flowering in 7 weeks or less. Expect some variation among individuals. When selecting a keeper I would aim for the more short heavily branched plants with great amounts off dense, resinous bud sites Apollo 11 and Ice Princess are similarly frosty and potent with different highs & flavors. Apollo 11 can be considered "smart weed", very cerebral and thought provoking, a happy high and a citrus flavor.

This is actually the Apollo 11 G version of the Spice Bros. Apollo 11 (made from a mother exhibiting Genius traits). I germed 4, lost 2 due to germ problems (my fault). Of the remaining 2, one was male and one female -- but oh what a female.
I would say even tho mine had a vague lemon scent & t ...continued

I bought this strain back in 11/03 along with a few others. A11 is now one of the top strains in my garden and will be for as long as I can see. Out of 5 seeds I got four females and one male; the male was dicarded. Of the four seeds all the phenos were above average and there were two standouts. Of those two one was a winner with a capital W. That is what I have kept to propogate and what I am basing this report on.
One thing before I start I would like to say. This has been the only plant that I have ever seen that starts growing trichs in veg. On some of the calixes and a small amount on the leaves.
I will just refer to my winner pheno as A11. Let's start with my one complaint with A11, it sucks to clone and is very slow early in veg. It is just really picky and hard to clone. Once I have it cloned it takes a while for things to get started. Where more hardy plants will take right off this can take a week or two to get its legs under it and start to grow. Once it has started it is very easy to stress it out. I waited to repot one plant and it got just a little root bound and started growing three and one pronged leaves, once I repoted it it took a while to start growing normal five stars again. Since I have learned to give it a little extra attention and it seems to be doing great with some extra babysitting. Over all once it gets started growing in veg it is pretty darn good and grows angular branches very fast in a typical sativa form while still remaining quite short.
When I flip it to 12/12 its growth really takes off with no memory of any past problems and starts to really go nuts. At about 10 days its buds start to form with trichs as well. It is the absolute first plant I have to have trichs on it. And has them about a week before anyone else. It stretches but not near what you would think being an almost full sativa. Total stretch was about 25% of its size when flipped. I have indica plants that stretch more than A11. So the size is very easy to contain and won't catch you off guard at all.
After it starts budding it's a drinker, it nearly drinks twice as much water as other plants. Loves the nutes too; I never had any signs of nute problems at all. She starts with a really sweet almost bubblegummy smell in the fist thirty days but from there the smell turns more spicy and citrusy. She finished in 47 days with the trichs cloudy and one or two turning amber. I think it could go to about 50 days no problem if you are looking for a little less up feeling.
The smoke is quite special. When you inhale you get a nice soft sweet smoke that expands but not to much and is not a lung buster. On the exhale you get a taste of the spicyness and a little sweet citrus aftertaste on the back of your tongue. I heard someone describe it the best as "you feel like you are smoking something exclusive". This really is some special smoke.
The high is just as good if not better than the smoke in comparison. After a couple of good tokes you are set for at least an hour. The high is very much as advertised, "up and happy". I really agree with the "smart weed" description. It is not crazy intense either unless you smoke a lot and is very workable on. I built a whole vegetable garden in my backyard on this stuff and it came out better than if I was sober. This is my favorite skiing weed because it just enhances your ability in a very fun stoned way. It's hard really to describe so just try it and find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed with Spice Brother's A11.

For my first grow, i germed 3 seeds, which all came out to be females. In the end, I had three different phenotypes. One was a little taller and fluffier than the rest, showing greater sativa influence, another which was shorter but yielded the most with fatter, tighter buds and the last one, which ...continued

A11 is a very stable f2. This is the second breeders A11 f2's I have grown. She is very branchy and also lanky so height could be a problem if not planned on ahead of time. She does great topped or trained. Needs a bit extra N durring the stretch at the onset of 12/12. Resin producting was abov ...continued
