Apollo 11 Genius Pheno by Bodhi Seeds
Genius × Jack Herer
Apollo 11 Genius Pheno by Bodhi Seeds is a hybrid cultivar that emphasizes the aromatic profile of the famed Genius clone. It offers a compact, fast-finishing plant structure with dense, resinous flowers. This selection balances classic citrus and pine scents with an approachable indica-like growth habit.
Appearance
This cultivar typically develops into a medium-height plant, around 80-120 cm indoors, with tight internodal spacing. It features broad, dark green fan leaves and stout petioles, characteristic of an indica-leaning structure. The buds form as conical, chunky colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, appearing frosty due to abundant resin glands by mid-flower. Some phenotypes may show faint purple hues on sugar leaves if exposed to cooler late-flower temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by bright citrus notes, reminiscent of lime zest and sweet lemon, complemented by pine needles and clean herbs. A subtle floral lift is also present. When cracked open, a hint of green apple or pear candy may emerge before returning to the primary citrus and pine character. The flavor follows suit, presenting citrus oil and pine resin upfront, followed by a delicate, sweet herbal finish that lingers.
Effects
Consumers report a cerebral and focused experience, often accompanied by a sense of calm. The effects are described as bright and clear, aligning with the Genius lineage, while the plant's structure suggests an indica influence.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is recognized for its high terpene intensity, with terpinolene being a key aromatic driver, alongside myrcene and caryophyllene. It is a high-THC cultivar, commonly testing between 18-24% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG are often present.
Growing Characteristics
Apollo 11 Genius Pheno is known for its fast finishing time, typically requiring 8-9 weeks of flowering, which is a hallmark of its indica-leaning traits. It presents an approachable growth habit with a compact frame, high calyx-to-leaf ratio, and significant resin production, making it suitable for growers seeking both quality terps and efficient throughput.
