Dark Star

Dark Star, also known as “Darkstar,” is an indica marijuana strain. Dark Star’s effects are as spacey as its name suggests: a deep, relaxed sensation throughout the body accompanied by a heavy cerebral calm. Though celestial in its effects, the strain is more likely homage to the Grateful Dead’s song “Dark Star.” A cross between Purple Kush and Mazar-I-Sharif, this dark, almost bluish strain was first bred indoors by T.H. Seeds, and comes as a challenge to many growers with its slow, 10-week flowering period. Its sour-smelling buds are dense and compact, ornamented with crystals and copper hairs.

Dark Star, is a pure indica (sativa/indica ratio of 0:100) that comes with relatively modest THC levels but several good medical uses. This strain is apparently the result of a cross between two popular originals, Purple Kush and Mazar-i-Sharif. Tests suggest THC levels can top 19%, putting this in the medium range as far as potency is concerned. The few available CBD tests show that chemical is scarce in this strain, too scarce to recommend Dark Star as treatment for epilepsy of other conditions that respond to CBD preparations. The indica genes in this strain produce a calming physical buzz with euphoria, happiness, and some limited cerebral effects. It’s a good source of medicine for chronic body pain, everyday stress, and lack of appetite, as it can generate a powerful case of the munchies. The flavor and aroma of Dark Star both have strong, sweet notes of coffee and soil. There isn’t much information on side effects, but patients should expect at least some of the usual culprits: dry mouth, dry eyes, paranoia, dizziness, and headaches. Available in both Europe and the United States, this strain sells best in Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, Michigan, Spain, and the Netherlands.

this is a strain that smells like all the dark fruits: grapes, blackberry, raspberry. It offers a deep relaxation and sedation to its users and has a modest, yet sufficient 16% average THC content. It even looks like a star, covered in its bright and exuberant trichomes. Dark Star is great for evening to night time usage.

What Is the Dark Star Strain?

this strain weed is almost entirely indica and is a cross of Mazar-I-Sharif and Purple Kush. The former won second place in the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1999 in the Best Indica category. It was first bred by T.H. Seeds who did so indoors, and who probably named Dark Star after a Grateful Dead song.

Aroma

The DS marijuana strain offers an earthy scent with hints of pine. As it reaches maturity, you may also get the smell of blackberries.

Flavor

Not everyone is enamored by the aroma of Dark Star, but it certainly excels in the taste department. While there is an earthy taste, you also get hints of grape and berry for an overall pleasant smoking experience.

Appearance

One thing you are sure to notice is the dense round nugs which are coated in gleaming trichomes. It is obvious that Dark Star is a resinous plant. It is a type of weed that looks aesthetically pleasing even in a bag, and we recommend gazing in wonder at the beautiful plants as they go into bloom. If you look closely, you may also see dark purple inside and outside of the buds.

Dark Star Strain Grow Info

Once you purchase Dark Star strain seeds, you have the option to grow indoors or outdoors, although the former is preferable. If you elect to grow this strain outside, it requires a warm environment with plenty of sunlight to thrive. If you decide to grow it outdoors, Dark Star will enjoy even better vegetative growth if you add high-intensity lighting and ensure it gets a minimum of 18 hours of light each day.var /*99586587347*/
