I actually prefer smoking Apollo 13 myself over the A11g but the A11g from Bodhi, at least my cut does not sound like the description of how most describe the taste/smell of the genius pheno.. this due in part I would imagine to the C99 used in the cross that Bodhi used to make A11g..

"brothers grimm c99 x genius inbred by fet and then me to f3" - Bodhi

The description being pineapple cheetos is not how I would have at all described the ones that I came across.. mine is definitely pineapple.. very pineapple. I've been told that the Genius pheno has better overall structure but the Apollo 13 in comparison is by most the preferred choice based on taste/smell/effect.. then again..we aren't comparing apples and oranges here.. we are comparing A11g from Bodhi becaue it's available Vs. whatever A13 is available.. A13BX for instance.

Apollo 13BX just has such a different high than my A11g. It is more uplifting and anti-anxiety, no paranoia at all. Very antidepressant type weed. I actually prefer this type of smoke and would rather toke on it all night than something that makes my heart race and gives me a cerebral head massage.. usually. Not all the time.. but usually.

I liked to grow A11g due to in part that it was a better producer but that may have changed now that I found this high yielding A13BX pheno. I shall try to run an equal number of both my next run in a SCROG and see how they perform.

Good C99 is also a blast to grow.. but there is a lack of good C99 beans on the market.

unrelated to the Apollos.. but fun Sativa dominant hybrids to grow..IMHO anyway..

Space Queen, now Space bomb from TGA is a lot of fun.. I really loved that one. Cherry, Fruit Punch flavored buds. Great potency. All of the great characteristics of a mostly sativa dominant hybrid that's roots as a cross stretch all way back to the BCGA days.

I've always wanted to try Vortex.. A13 x Space Queen.. just never got around to it.

Timewreck which is Bloodwreck x Vortex (A13 x Space Queen) is just f*cking amazing and one of the most fun seed runs I have ever done. Popping a pack of that was a blast.. a lot of plants that had the Apollo like structure with the tall spear shaped colas but fatter.. more funk than fruit.. some really foul smelling..I mean really, really rank. Like someone shoved an orange up a skunks ass and let it sit out and rot in the sun. Potency was top notch.. very very strong cannabis. Excellent yielding plants and they all finished in about 9 weeks. I loved growing Timewreck. I would love to grow it again.
I love the old vortex from like 3-4 years ago not sure if the seeds are the same.

I think you’re right, as the f3 hasn’t been around since 2011 or ’12.
I'll give the A11 f4's a shot because I like a clear, up, happy high effect. And it is Bodhi's work so they probably will be very nice.

I grew TGA's A13 X Vortex and loved the super strong heady SOARING effect although my pheno didn't have the euphoria I was really hoping for, (not as much euphoria as Skywalker OG -*favorite, Laughing Buddha -*2nd favorite, Querkle -*3rd favorite, Super Silver Haze, Jillybean, Blue Dream or Chocolope for example). But I would give it another chance because A13 was fun and very unique overall, just not an everyday smoke for me.

Here is another place that also has the A11 f4 seeds.
"Genius f4 select":

Hopefully this Winter there will be more new grow logs once the outdoor season in California ends. I can't believe more people haven't grown A11.

Here is an A11 f4 grow journal I found online (from January) w/ a few photos on page 1:

BadInfluence was right, I emailed the seedsman site, and they said the Apollo 11's in stock now are the f4.

Looks like the Great Lakes Genetics seeds are sold out now.

The closest I recently experienced to that kind of cerebral, heady, up, stimulating, soaring, high as a kite effect was the "El Dorado" strain with its Oaxacan genetics.
Felt like DJ Short's Flo or Jack Herer maybe, but lots more sativa rush and very, very psychedelic, but not as euphoric.
A friend grew it outside and it took a long time to flower, maybe 14-15 weeks. Very potent though. Two hits and I was higher than I've ever been since getting a medical card 10+ years ago.
It was almost stupifying and I had a hard time just talking to the pizza delivery person.
