Shooting Star
Shooting Star Strain Overview
Shooting Star is a mostly indica strain developed by 303 Seeds, created for a specific patient who needed medical cannabis for a sleep disorder. This strain crosses a selected Sensi Star from Paradise Seeds with Ski Train, which is itself a cross of Arcata Trainwreck, Super Silver Haze, and Pakistan Chitral Kush. The patient specifically chose Sensi Star as the mother plant for its powerful indica properties to help overcome a sleep disorder that previously required prescription sleeping medication. The breeders at 303 Seeds crossed it with their Ski Train strain to add citrus flavor and enhance resin production.
Shooting Star is described as a super rare indica dominant hybrid strain (85% indica/15% sativa), though other sources classify it as mostly indica. It has an indoor flowering time of 55-62 days and is recommended for growers of all skill levels. The buds are characterized by oversized rounded fluffy forest green nugs with thick orange hairs and a coating of chunky golden amber crystal trichomes. This cross was specifically done to add more citrus goodness, more resin, and more stretch to the slow vegging Sensi Star while maintaining the amazing narcotic stone this phenotype produces.

Shooting Star Strain Growing Information
Shooting Star has an easy grow difficulty and is recommended for all growers. It has an indoor flowering time of 55-62 days (approximately 8 weeks). The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Ski Train's genetics stretched the vegetative time of the strain to allow for a larger yield. The added vegetative vigor and stretch in bloom allow for an enhanced yield of indica dominant medicine. This strain was never available as feminized seeds from 303 Seeds. The plants are expected to produce dense, resin-coated colas with good yields due to the Ski Train influence.
