Dub Star
Also known as: Dubstar
What is the Dub Star strain?
Dub Star is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Dub Star is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. Breeders developed Dub Star by crossing two well-established strains to create a plant that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that give it a shimmering appearance. The nugs often display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The strain's aroma is one of its most notable features, combining earthy base notes with sharp citrus accents and subtle diesel undertones.
Dub Star has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatility and reliable effects. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where it was originally cultivated. The strain's name appears to reference both its genetic heritage and its star-like bud structure when properly trimmed and cured.

How do you grow Dub Star?
Dub Star is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens sometimes growing taller. Dub Star responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in proper conditions. Curing the buds for at least two weeks after harvest enhances the flavor profile significantly.
