What is the DarkStar strain?

DarkStar is a indica cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and coffee and earthy flavor profile.

DarkStar is a pure indica strain created by TH Seeds as a cross between Purple Kush and Mazar-I-Sharif, two legendary cannabis strains that contribute to its powerful medicinal properties and distinctive characteristics. This genetic combination captures the deeply calming properties of Purple Kush, known for its sleep-inducing effects, with the ancient, resinous qualities of Mazar-I-Sharif. The strain embodies the deep, sedative effects and stunning purple coloration from its Purple Kush parent while inheriting the hardiness and resin production from Mazar-I-Sharif. Developed for medical use, DarkStar was bred by TH Seeds for the purpose of creating a medical strain that was true to its Afghan roots without overpowering its benefits, with THC averaging around 19% to guarantee consistent results.

Physically, DarkStar features forest green, almost navy blue buds covered in crystal trichomes and pink hairs that are truly a sight to see. The buds showcase characteristics of the Kush family with a distinctive sour smell and surface that glistens with a thick layer of trichomes. The flavor and aroma profile features strong, sweet notes of coffee and soil with aromatic coffee and earth notes on the forefront and hints of tangy kush on the back. DarkStar's effects are as spacey as its name suggests, delivering a deep, relaxed sensation throughout the body accompanied by heavy cerebral calm and bringing about a profound sense of calm and tranquility.
