Star Dust is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Chemdog and a pairing of i95 and StarDawg. Developed for specific performance characteristics, this cultivar flourishes in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring moderate cultivation expertise to reach maturity. Growers can expect a high yield from this genetic combination, with a standard flowering time of 67 days. The lineage is further evidenced by its notable offspring, Peanut Dust, which carries forward the characteristics established by this parentage.
The terpene profile of Star Dust is defined by a primary dominance of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary chemical composition continues with bisabolol, nerolidol, and beta-pinene, rounded out by smaller concentrations of pinene and camphene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds dictates the strain's sensory expression, providing a distinct chemical backbone that influences its overall profile.
In terms of effects, Star Dust is THC-dominant and is reported by users to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These properties make it a frequent selection for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. As a consequence of its robust genetic foundation, the strain remains a consistent presence in modern breeding programs, most notably established through its role in the development of Peanut Dust.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
