Starship
Also known as: Starship 1, Starship OG
Starship Strain Overview
Starship is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Alien Dawg and Sensi Star. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene, where breeders sought to combine the potent effects of Alien Dawg with the resinous qualities of Sensi Star. The resulting hybrid has gained recognition for its well-rounded effects and distinctive flavor profile, though it remains less common than its parent strains in mainstream cannabis markets.
Starship plants typically produce dense, conical buds with a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy base notes with citrus undertones and a subtle diesel-like quality inherited from its Alien Dawg lineage.
Notable features of Starship include its balanced genetic profile, which provides effects that many users describe as neither overwhelmingly sedating nor excessively energizing. The strain has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced terpene profile and reliable effects. While not as commercially widespread as some other hybrids, Starship maintains a reputation within cannabis enthusiast communities for its quality and consistency when properly cultivated.

Starship Strain Growing Information
Starship is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them suitable for limited-space grows. Starship responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper airflow to prevent mold, particularly given the strain's dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are typical for cannabis hybrids, with no extraordinary feeding needs.
