DEATH STAR
“ Death Star shows very high resistance to most common diseases , molds , mildews , and X-wing fighters .”
Not only can a Death Star blow up planets , this one will blow your mind as well . The aptly-named mixed strain is a cross between Sensi Star and Sour Diesel , so it shares the sativa and indica effects of its parents , but certainly leans towards the indica side ( 75 per cent indica and 25 per cent sativa ) of the cannabis spectrum . The THC content is up there ( up to 27 per cent ), and it ’ s a creeper strain , so it will take few minutes to feel the full effects . Death Star takes away all cares and replaces them with a state of relaxed euphoria , but expect some heavy dry mouth when you ’ re feeling the full effects . Being indica-dominant , the body high is powerful , making it a strong medication for those dealing with chronic pain , stress , anxiety , and trouble sleeping . It ’ s also helpful in relieving PMS symptoms and cramping .
The nuggets and leaves of Death Star are frostylooking , buried in thick , sticky resins and hairy trichomes . Leaves are a bright , light green , giving off the look and smell of strong health , freshness , and pest resistance . The taste is dominantly diesel with a slight citrus kick . The sweetness varies somewhat , coming in waves . If you ’ re a big diesel fan , you ’ ll really love Death Star and the dark side of the force . Death Star was popularized in 2004 in Ohio by Team Death Star . Indoor growing time for Death Star is nine to 14 weeks and will harvest about 14 ounces per square meter . It grows best outdoors in a sunny , warm climate . It will be ready for a mid-October harvest . Expect an outdoor yield of about 12 ounces per plant — a relatively small yield , but what is lost in yield is made up in exceptional quality . And a bonus is Death Star shows very high resistance to most common diseases , molds , mildews , and X-wing fighters .
Death Star will hit its highest THC concentrations when grown in soil with organic nutrients . Grow indoors and patiently train the plant , as the Sour Diesel sativa qualities will make Death Star take off . This strain is suitable for the SCROG ( screen of green ) method , as the buds grow dense and small . It grows best between 68-80 ° F and keep moisture and humidity low as the tightly packed nuggets are susceptible to rot due to excess moisture . For feeding , Death Star prefers light feeding . Get the soil healthy and strong before planting by adding worm castings , chicken manure , perlite , and watering with compost tea .
