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 also enjoy sativa dom hybrids.
Curiously, I have never tried any of the ones that you mentioned above...except C-99, which I like, but, alas do not love.
My preferred sativa dom strains over the years are---SSH--- very tasty spicy, peppery buds which provide a zesty, zingy sativa high...I have tried three different breeders with my fave being Mr. Nice.
Some phenos of NLxHaze can be invigorating and motivational kick-ass smokers...
Belladonna from Paradise---easy to grow, somewhat leafy, but quick finishing, sweet, spacey, sativa buds.
And my current favorite sativa dom strain--- Mandala seeds Satori...I have no idea why this strain is not more popular...wow...easy, quick, tasty--- pronounced sativa buzz, which is very long lasting.
Every time I have grown this strain out, the jars that I keep the buds in seem to empty out the quickest.
