Big Difference to be honest.
Apollo 11 & Apollo 13 are from the same mother plant (Genius). The father of Apollo 13 was P.75 whereas Apollo 11's dad is Cinderella 99. Apollo 11 will therefore be more Sativa dominant. In fact the taller, stretchier phenos of A11 are more C99 dominant.. such as my pheno.. this makes it a completely different high than Apollo 13..
In fact let me change gears for a minute and explain to you a little about about Apollo 13 and what got me hooked on it and started this whole Apollo addiction in the first place.
Apollo 13 is in a class of its own.. and I don't say that lightly.. it is really unique cannabis.. it is the only strain that I have ever smoked.. that provides a completely uplifting high with absolutely no negative or down effects. No paranoia, none whatsoever.. it's what some people would call an "anti-depressant" strain. 2 hits and you are on the moon.. seriously tho.. you want something that is perfect for chilling with other people.. something that gives you energy instead of taking it away.. Apollo 13. It actually gives you energy. It is the most amazing weed I have ever smoked. The high is incredible.. and in terms of how it grows.. easy. It isn't picky with nutes.. it eats well.. It's not airy, medium to good dense buds.. it yields usually medium.. not low, not high.. just decent. Some phenos of A13BX from TGA will yield shitty.. some will yield well.. and the one that I have, the freak of nature yields like a beast.. I can't explain that one.. but I love it. The taste of a good pheno, the one that represents the A13 mom is a citrusy, orangey but more tangerine flavored and slightly rotten baby poo aroma bud that has a slight cracked pepper flavor and aftertaste to her. She has really nice trichome coverage and makes red bubble hash. It's great pot.
Apollo 11 on the other hand is also uplifting and very cerebral but from what I have experienced, way more potent. More cerebreal. My cut actually is very pineapple.. like Dole Pineapple Juice Pineapple. It smells more like Pineapple than actual C99. The high tho is intense, almost trippy. It is a soaring high. There is no creeper effect with either of the Apollos.. you hit it, you get high.. but with A11 you get very high.. at least with the one that I hold.. it is one of the strongest Grimm weed cuts I have ever had.. and I've smoked a lot of stuff from the Brothers Grimm.. in fact I have sampled the keeper cuts from 4 of my friends when they all grew A11g, and I popped a single seed that a friend gave me because at the time when it came out I never bought a pack.. so between those 4 keepers, the best out of their 4 packs, what I found was remarkable was that the single seed I was gifted.. was where my keeper came from. She is stretchy.. she is a later bloomer than the other phenos.. but.. the more Genius phenos from the Bodhi A11g packs, at least the earlier ones from a few years ago.. were pickier with nutes and more light sensitive.. they actually didn't like to be close to the HID light.. which I thought was weird. My keeper, grew like shit from seed.. it was a beanpole looking thing with no meat on it.. looked like garbage..I almost tossed it.. but am glad I didn't because all of a sudden and it all happened so fast.. it was like.. BUD EXPLOSION.. it just blew up with a huge cola and it happened all in the last couple weeks.. the terps were incredible. It was just like Pineapple Juice and the potency once we tried it was so f*cking high. I've kept it since then..2011 I think.
I think there's still a couple places that have these A11g seeds in stock dude if u need help finding a place let me know.
But with A13BX.. or if you ask anyone who is the best breeder to buy A13 seed from.. you are either going to hear people say Motarebel or TGA.. as they are the only two breeders that really offer Apollo 13 in seed form. I think on Attitude it is listed as Apollo 13 x Vortex.. because Vortex is Apollo 13 x Space Queen.. but that is what it is.. .Apollo 13BX.
Both of these crosses.. seed choices.. are the two best seed lines in seed form that I have ever experienced.. ever from any breeder whatsoever from popping seeds. Sure not every pheno will be a winner.. and to be honest.. you are going to have to pop the pack, 10 seeds.. from my experience.. do this and you'll walk away with one or 2 keepers from each pack.. with A13 you wanna look for the taller one with the spear shaped colas. With A11g also the taller, chunkier ones IMO that smell like pineapple as I prefer the C99 pheno..but the Genius phenos aren't bad either.. both phenos from A11g were pretty damn good.

well,, we'll see what happens next year. mr soul says he is "moving" to Colorado to start up his seed company.. so sounds like it is more like a plan to action. hopefully it will actually happen. in all likely hood it will be quite some time before we see actual beans for sale. I want this to happen pretty bad of course.. crossing my fingers.

My two latest seed experiments are Royal Salute from Afficianado and Crimson Crush from Gage Green. Both were purchased at Harborside.
I shelled out $250 for 10 seeds of the Royal Salute mostly because I want to see why they think they can charge that much for seeds. For that kind of money it had better be A quality all the way or I'm going to call them on it. I started 5 seeds and all survived. Unfortunately, one of them stretched a bit early on and the stem kinked so it died. I was left with 4 and all 4 ended up being female. I'm glad that I still have 5 seeds because I might want some pollen if the strain ends up being worth keeping.
I got the Crimson Crush ($150 for 10) because I tried a couple of Gage Green strains in the past (from clone) and I wanted to give this one a go. I started 5 seeds and all of them survived. I sexed them recently and got 2 females. Even though the plants are vegging under a T-5 the leaves have a stronger than usual odor when rubbed. This is almost always a good sign. I won't have a finished product for a few more months, but if smell is an indicator of quality this one should be good. We'll see.

yea I grew that.. was actually the least impressive. the phenos I had produced buds of less desirable quality than any other seed pack from that particular company than any other pack that I had experienced from TGA.. just my experience and opinion anyway.. and I know opinion is subjective.. most of the buds tasted like butane and pepper. was not anything like I expected. and nothing at all like A13BX in flavor, taste, smell, high,.. not even close. I hated that strain. tasted and smelled like shit. lol. They can't all be winners tho. lol But like I said. was just my experience.

That's a fact. I recently finished 2 Grape Smugglers, and while one was decent, another had the taste and smell you describe. Then again, by what some people post, it could have been someone else's grail.
