Starry Night
Starry Night
Also known as: 1889: A Starry Night
Overview
Starry Night is a cannabis strain named after Vincent van Gogh's iconic masterpiece painting. The strain emerged as a boutique cannabis cultivar in the late 2010s during a period marked by rapid micro-breeding and regional drops that rarely reached national distribution. This strain is incredibly rare, even in states with legal cannabis, and might occasionally appear on the West Coast but not often enough to make much of a market impact. The strain's phenotypes aren't entirely pinned down, but it's believed to lean slightly toward the indica end, though exact genetics vary by cut and region.
Starry Night's flowers stand out with their solid formation and medium to large size, adhering in chunky, elongated shapes with an indica-typical structure and dense, compact center. White trichomes glitter like stars against the background of the leaves, perhaps giving this strain its distinctive name. The leafy, pepper-shaped nugs hold plenty of orange pistils and can have accents of purple or blue, with an abundance of neon-orange pistils and a thick layer of trichomes. Many phenotypes show traits reminiscent of classic narcotic lines like Northern Lights or Afghani, while other expressions suggest modern gas-citrus lineage with Chem, OG, or Cookies ancestry.

Growing Information
Starry Night has a flowering time of 55 to 61 days and prefers a photoperiod flowering type with an easy grow difficulty level, making it suitable for beginners. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 1 to 2 ounces per square foot (about 400 grams per square meter), while outdoor cultivators can achieve harvests of 15 to 20 ounces per plant (approximately 550 grams per plant), with plant height typically ranging from 60 to 80 inches both indoors and outdoors. Harvesting usually occurs around 67 days after the start of the flowering stage when trichomes reach peak levels of cannabinoids and terpenes. Successful cultivation requires providing a well-balanced nutrient regimen, maintaining suitable environmental conditions including temperature and humidity, adequate lighting with proper light/dark balance during flowering, and regular monitoring of nutrient levels.
