Apocalypto
Apocalypto
Overview
Apocalypto is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Swamp Boys Seeds in the early 2010s as a cross between White Sour Diesel and Georgia Pine. This strain is the result of selective breeding that combines ancient genetic heritage with modern breeding techniques, creating a revolutionary strain born out of an uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation. The strain exhibits a composition of 75-80% sativa and 20-25% indica genetics, making it ideal for daytime use. Apocalypto buds feature a dense structure typical of sativa-dominant hybrids, with fluffy oversized forest green nugs adorned with dark amber pistils and covered in a thick layer of crystal trichomes. The structure offers an abundant cover of trichomes with density levels reaching up to 3.5 million per square centimeter on robust specimens. The strain has gained recognition for its potent THC levels ranging from 13.5% to as high as 28% in premium samples, though most commonly tests between 15-23%. Despite being developed with modern techniques, little cultivation information is available as the original breeders are no longer producing seeds, making authentic genetics increasingly rare and sought after by collectors and connoisseurs.

Growing Information
Apocalypto is considered moderately difficult to grow with a flowering time of 7-10 weeks (49-70 days). Indoor yields average 1-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 15-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Plants typically reach medium to tall heights of 5-8 feet both indoors and outdoors, developing taller plants with long, thin fan leaves characteristic of sativa genetics. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though its sativa heritage requires adequate space to flourish. Outdoor harvest is ready in September. The strain exhibits robust resistance to common cannabis pathogens and environmental stresses. Growers recommend harvesting when trichomes are predominantly milky with some amber hues for optimal potency and terpene profiles. pH levels should be maintained between 6.0-6.8 with regular monitoring of nutrient concentrations.
