The Vortex

Vortex - TGA Subcool Seeds

The Vortex is a cross between Apollo 13 and Space Queen, perfectly combining the characteristic traits of both parent lines. The strain develops vigorous, bushy plants with pronounced lateral branching, making it particularly well suited to the SCROG method (Screen of Green). Its compact, well-branched growth makes The Vortex an interesting choice for enthusiasts of classic Apollo 13 and Space Queen genetics. At the same time, this cross is characterised by a relatively fast maturation period, which also makes it attractive for outdoor cultivation.

Particularly noteworthy is the intense, exotic and fruity aroma profile of The Vortex, characterised by sweet tropical fruit notes. Its most distinctive feature is a pronounced mango scent with subtle hints of lime, reminiscent of a freshly prepared, sweet tropical fruit lemonade. The combination of ripe mango, refreshing citrus freshness and a pleasantly sweet underlying aroma gives the strain its unmistakable character. With its Apollo 13-Space Queen genetics, vigorous branching, rapid development and characteristic mango-lime aroma, The Vortex is one of the particularly interesting crosses in the TGA Subcool range.

TGA Subcool's Dank - The Dank Seeds

The legendary seed bank TGA Genetics was founded in 2001 by Subcool. Rather than keeping their breeding work behind closed doors, TGA took a different approach by gathering feedback and experiences from thousands of growers and patients. The result was a collection of genetics developed to support people dealing with pain, nausea, anxiety, neurological disorders, and other chronic conditions. This patient-focused and community-driven philosophy defined Subcool’s work and helped establish TGA Genetics as one of the most respected names in cannabis breeding.

What makes TGA Seeds so special is that it was never just about yield or potency, they also focused a lot on terpenes. Every strain was developed with patients' needs in mind. Some people grow these genetics for their own personal use, while others cultivate them to help those around them. Rather than chasing mass-market trends, the focus remained on passion, creativity, and meaningful results. Many of the genetic lines were carefully selected and refined over many years to combine exceptional flavors, heavy resin production, and truly unique effects. Following the passing of Subcool in 2020, the legacy of TGA Genetics continues under the guidance of his longtime friend and business partner Will. With great respect for the original breeding vision, he remains committed to preserving and developing the legendary TGA genetics, ensuring that the brand’s renowned strains and core values continue to thrive for future generations of growers and enthusiasts.
