The Stardawg strain is a strong sativa-dominant hybrid made up of 60% Cannabis sativa and 40% Cannabis indica. It includes moderate to high THC levels, around 22%, and no CBD. This breed is recognised for its pungent scent and high energy levels. When administered correctly, Stardawg is effective in the treatment of stress, inflammation, chronic pain, and depression.
The Stardawg strain (cultivar) is the offspring of Chemdawg 4 and Tres Dawg, two well-known hybrid strains from Top Dawg Seed Company in the Bay Area of California. Stardawg has a pungent, earthy aroma that includes strong diesel, chemical, and earthy components acquired from both parent strains.
This overpowering odour may deter some individuals, particularly beginners or those who are accustomed to sweet strains. But for cannabis enthusiasts, this powerful stinky aroma, which has been compared to morning breath and roadkill, enhances the strain’s benefits.
Because this strain is sativa-dominant, the primary effects are energising and uplifting. It is commonly used to improve mood and enhance clarity. This strain is also recognised for providing a long-lasting high. Stardawg’s effects can continue for more than three hours, which is longer than the average marijuana strain.
For these reasons, Stardawg is an excellent strain to start the day. However, keep in mind that this strain’s powerful perfume makes it difficult to be covert. Consider this if you want to try it before work or in public.
Stardawg was named in part due of its pedigree and the star-shaped trichomes that cover the buds’ surface. The crystal-like trichomes on this strain are said to be so tightly packed that the buds twinkle like stars in the night sky: an appropriate name for a strain that lifts you up and has you swimming in the stars.
Dosing
Everyone is different and has their own endocannabinoid system (ECS), so what works for one person may not work for another. As a result, the best suggestion is to start slowly and gradually with cannabis, taking only modest, regulated amounts whenever feasible, especially if you are new to it. Those taking Stardawg to treat stress, sadness, or anxiety may benefit from lesser doses than higher ones.
Growing
Stardawg can grow indoors, outside, or in a greenhouse. It is not difficult to grow for an expert cultivator, but it is not an easy task. As a result, it is not suitable for inexperienced gardeners.
This plant is highly labor-intensive, which is one of the reasons why it is best suited to experienced growers, as it requires topping and trimming. Stardawg should be topped because it grows erect and is not naturally bushy. Topping the plant makes it bushier, allowing sunlight to hit a bigger surface area of the plant, which boosts the yield.
When cultivated indoors, Stardawg may produce 3 ounces per square metre. In an outdoor setting, Stardawg may produce 7 ounces per plant. Although the production is lower than that of some other cannabis kinds, many producers believe that this strain and its strong effects are worthwhile.
It is commonly known that Stardawg goods are pungent, and the plant is no different. If you prefer to grow your Stardawg inside, you must consider the smell, and many growers utilise ventilation or air filtration systems to alleviate the odour.
