Interstellar
Also known as: Interstellar OG
Interstellar Strain Overview
Interstellar is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex genetic lineage and space-themed name. The strain was developed by crossing two legendary parent strains, creating a cultivar that offers a well-rounded experience combining cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. Its name reflects both its cosmic heritage and the expansive, mind-opening effects users report experiencing.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance featuring deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage. When properly cured, Interstellar emits a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle diesel undertones.
Interstellar has become particularly noted for its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on dosage. The strain's popularity has grown steadily since its introduction, though it remains less common than some mainstream hybrids. Breeders have continued to refine the genetics, resulting in several phenotype variations that may express slightly different characteristics while maintaining the core attributes that define the Interstellar experience.

Interstellar Strain Growing Information
Interstellar is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. 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 generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
