Apollo is a modern, auto-flowering strain resulting from a cross between Black Domina and an unknown strain, rendering its full lineage partially undocumented. Designed for ease of cultivation, this variety thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though growers should anticipate a low yield over its 74-day flowering period. Its genetic influence is notable for producing the offspring Cheesy Big Bang, marking its specific contribution to modern breeding lines.
The chemical composition of Apollo is defined by a complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, and bisabolol, with trace amounts of limonene, camphene, beta-pinene, and humulene. This arrangement of terpenes dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile consistent with its biochemical structure. Being a THC-dominant variety, the interplay between these specific compounds shapes the strain's overall profile.
In terms of physiological and psychological effects, users typically encounter a sensation of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make Apollo a practical selection for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as assistance with sleep. As a modern auto-flowering cultivar, its verified genetic legacy remains firmly anchored by the development of the Cheesy Big Bang, maintaining its place within contemporary cannabis collections.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
