Low THCHigh THC

Star Pupil is lower THC than average.

Star Pupil is a modern hybrid strain derived from a genetic cross between Afghani and Pakistan Indica. Developed as a distinct breeding project, the strain serves as a foundational building block for a wide array of subsequent genetics. It is well-regarded for its performance in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it maintains a moderate difficulty level and reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period, consistently providing high yields.

The chemical profile of Star Pupil is defined by a complex, multi-layered terpene arrangement. Myrcene stands as the dominant terpene, followed closely by nerolidol, limonene, and caryophyllene. This profile transitions into secondary and tertiary notes of linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, terpinolene, p-cymene, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, and bisabolol. This specific combination influences the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic presence that mirrors its intricate botanical composition.

As a THC-dominant hybrid, Star Pupil is reported to produce effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those managing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The strain is also noted for its extensive influence on modern breeding, acting as a parent to numerous offspring including Purple Galaxy, Supa Star, Grape LSD, Drippy Eye, Acapulco Pupil, Amnesia Pupil, Blue Pupil, Bubba Pupil, CBD Pupil V1, Chem Pupil V2, Chupil, and Dilated Pupil.
