Flo Star
Also known as: Flo Star OG
Flo Star Strain Overview
Flo Star is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to be a phenotype or specific expression of the classic Flo strain, which was originally developed by DJ Short in the 1980s. The exact origins of the 'Star' designation remain somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about when and where this particular expression was stabilized. Like its parent Flo, Flo Star is believed to be a sativa-dominant hybrid, though some sources suggest it may have been crossed with other genetics to enhance certain characteristics, potentially including Starfighter or other 'star'-related strains.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a distinctive coloration pattern. The flowers often feature deep purple and violet hues intermingled with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are known for their dense structure and resinous quality, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
Flo Star maintains the balanced effects characteristic of the Flo lineage while potentially offering enhanced visual appeal and potency. The strain is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines floral, fruity, and earthy notes. Due to its relative rarity compared to more mainstream Flo phenotypes, comprehensive information about Flo Star remains limited, and some details may vary between different growers' experiences and seed bank offerings.

Flo Star Strain Growing Information
Flo Star is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold issues.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to reach a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with some height management. Flo Star responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield and manage canopy height. The strain is particularly noted for developing vibrant purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
