HashStar
Also known as: Hash Star
HashStar Strain Overview
HashStar is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Sensi Seeds. The strain was created by crossing two classic landrace strains: Northern Lights #5 and Hash Plant. This combination brings together the resin production and potency of both parent strains, resulting in a variety specifically bred for hash production while maintaining desirable smoking characteristics.
The strain produces dense, compact buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, making it particularly suitable for hash extraction. The flowers are typically dark green with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The buds are often described as rock-hard and resinous, with a structure that facilitates mechanical separation of trichomes.
HashStar is known for its relatively short flowering time and manageable growth characteristics, making it accessible to cultivators of various experience levels. While originally bred for hash production, the strain has gained popularity among recreational users for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The name reflects both its heritage and its primary intended use in traditional hash-making processes.

HashStar Strain Growing Information
HashStar is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 7-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good air circulation to prevent mold issues. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. HashStar responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to increase yields. The plants have a bushy structure with dense foliage that may require some defoliation to improve light penetration and air flow.
