Looking for an easy-growing strain that can launch you into another galaxy? Look no further than Starship.
For an easy-to-grow, feel-good strain that’ll stretch
your mind to new dimensions, take my hand and
climb aboard the Starship. An old-school pure indica
cross between Afghani 00 and Skunk #1, this particular
Starship was crafted in Christiania, a self-proclaimed
autonomous anarchist district of about 1,000 residents in
Copenhagen, Denmark. Cannabis has been proclaimed
legal in Christiania since 2017 and is sold at an open-air
market dubbed Pusher Street. How’d I end up with a dime
bag of weed with roots in Denmark’s Green Light District?
Let’s just say a friend of mine traveled there recently. When I
mentioned to him my looming deadline to puff a J and write
about it, he promptly rolled across the city with a sticky
sample. “This plant grew roots as I’ve never seen before,” he
says, preferring to remain anonymous but thrilled to bestow
a bit of bud for this review. “I had to use a knife to tear apart
the soil when I was cleaning out my pots. It was like trying
to rip apart a basketball.” Bred from two mighty gene pools,
Starship is an extra-fast blooming, heavy-duty plant. It
produces a generous yield — up to 800g per square meter
under 600W HPS with flowering triggered approximately
55 days from seed. Since Starship prefers to branch out
rather than up, it’s an excellent strain for indoor growers.
Outdoor growers, too, can expect big dense blossoms by
October with little effort. Starship will grow to about five
feet with minimal training and even less water. “It does not
like wet feet,” advised my friend. “It easily showed stress
from watering, even when pots seemed to be dry.” From a
consumer perspective, Starship features earthy and sweet
flavors requiring only one or two tokes for a quick launch
into stellar spaces. Up there, in between the stars, users
will feel an overall sense of well-being, both physically
and mentally. Additionally, Starship’s couchlock qualities
are otherworldly, making sedentary lockdown hobbies,
like painting, remarkably pleasurable for hours on end.
