Black Star is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of StarFighter. As a result of this specific lineage, the plant requires a moderate level of expertise to cultivate, performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can anticipate a high yield from this strain following a flowering period that lasts exactly 60 days.
The chemical profile of Black Star is defined by a terpene arrangement beginning with dominant myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene, and rounded out by tertiary pinene. This combination shapes the sensory experience, offering an aromatic profile that reflects this specific hierarchy of volatile compounds.
In terms of physiological reception, the strain is THC-dominant and provides effects characterized by a sense of calm, focus, and physical relaxation. Due to these qualities, it is frequently utilized by those seeking relief from pain, stress, or difficulty with sleep. The genetic legacy of this cultivar is further cemented by its status as the parent of Silver Star.
