Space Junkie Strain Overview
Space Junkie is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through a genetic cross between Starfighter and Tres Dawg. This strain is 60% sativa and 40% indica, making it a well-balanced hybrid that delivers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Bred by Archive Seed Bank, Space Junkie represents a fascinating intersection of two powerful lineages: Starfighter (a cross of Lemon Alien Dawg and Tahoe Alien by Alien Genetics) and Tres Dawg (a backcross of Chem D and Afghani #1 by Top Dawg Seeds). The strain's cosmic nomenclature reflects its ability to launch users into a euphoric mental state while maintaining grounding physical effects.
Space Junkie exhibits the classic characteristics of its parent strains, combining earthy, woody, and sweet aromas with a moderate THC content, hovering around 18-22%. The strain's appearance is particularly striking, featuring densely packed buds with abundant trichome coverage that creates a crystalline, almost galactic appearance. The dominant terpene of this strain is myrcene, contributing to its relaxing and sedating effects, though it also contains significant amounts of limonene and pinene that contribute to its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects.

Space Junkie Strain Growing Information
Space Junkie is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, particularly suitable for experienced growers. The strain has an indoor flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with some phenotypes requiring up to 70 days for full maturation. Indoor yields are moderate to high, typically ranging from 400-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants can reach heights of up to 6 feet when grown outdoors, requiring ample vertical space. Space Junkie thrives in controlled environments with temperatures between 22-26°C (72-79°F) and humidity levels maintained at 45-55%. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) techniques, which can increase yields by 20-30%. Outdoor cultivation is possible in warm, sunny climates similar to California, Australia, or North Africa, with harvest typically occurring in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and diseases but requires careful attention to nutrient management and environmental controls.
