Green Starburst
Also known as: Green Star Burst, Green Starburst OG
Green Starburst Strain Overview
Green Starburst is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain is known for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. Breeders developed Green Starburst by crossing two popular West Coast strains, aiming to create a plant with appealing aesthetics, pleasant aroma, and versatile effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications.
The strain's name derives from its visual characteristics and flavor profile. The buds typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a sparkling appearance reminiscent of the candy. The aroma combines sweet, tropical fruit notes with earthy, pine-like undertones, creating a complex sensory experience. Green Starburst plants are known for their moderate height and bushy structure, making them suitable for various growing environments.
While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Green Starburst has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's popularity has grown primarily through word-of-mouth recommendations in cannabis communities, particularly in regions with established medical and recreational cannabis programs. As with many modern hybrids, precise genetic information and breeding history can vary between different seed banks and growers, leading to some variation in phenotype expressions across different cultivation operations.

Green Starburst Strain Growing Information
Green Starburst is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to dense bud development, and implementing regular pruning to ensure proper light penetration and air circulation throughout the canopy.
