How to grow DarkStar
Seb's take
A pure indica out of Purple Kush and Mazar-i-Sharif, dense of bud and short of stature — a dark star, it turns out, with a gravitational pull all her own. At 19% THC the effect settles the body first, useful for pain and appetite, and little else once it takes hold.
Growing DarkStar: what to expect
Feminized, so you'll not be sexing plants or evicting males. Photoperiod, so veg lasts exactly as long as you decide — see the vegetative stage on how long that ought to be.
Expect around 9 weeks in flower — textbook timing. Textbooks, for once, being useful: here's ours.
