Western Star
Western Star Strain Overview
Western Star is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain meticulously developed by Lucky Dog Seed Company, representing a modern testament to elite cannabis breeding. Created through a complex genetic lineage involving Chemdog 91 and Sour Diesel BX2, this strain emerged from the breeder's early 2000s experiments with Sour Diesel backcrossing projects. The strain's creator, known as 'Skunk VA,' selected a male from shelved BX2 work and applied it to various genetics, ultimately creating Western Star through crossing (Chemdog 91 x Sour Diesel BX2) x Chemdog 91 BX2, resulting in a balanced 50% indica and 50% sativa hybrid. The strain embodies the robust characteristics of its legendary parent genetics, combining the classic fuel-like potency and relaxing effects of the Chem family with the energizing, citrus-diesel notes of Sour Diesel. Western Star produces dense, trichome-rich nugs with vibrant deep green leaves occasionally showing purple hues, creating a visually striking plant that captures the essence of a well-cultivated hybrid. The buds are generously coated with resinous trichomes that glisten prominently, indicating high cannabinoid content. Laboratory analyses confirm consistency in both cannabinoid and terpene profiles, making it a benchmark strain in modern cannabis breeding. The strain demonstrates remarkable genetic stability with predictable flowering patterns and consistent growth characteristics, making it appealing to both commercial growers and connoisseurs seeking reliable, potent cannabis experiences.

Western Star Strain Growing Information
Western Star is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers, demonstrating resilience against common pests and diseases. Indoor flowering time ranges from 56-70 days (8-10 weeks). Plants achieve an average height of 90-150 cm indoors and can grow larger outdoors. Indoor yields can reach up to 800 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 700 grams per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean-type climates with extended warm growing seasons. Growers should implement low-stress training (LST) or Screen of Green (SCROG) techniques to manage height and ensure even light distribution. Support systems like staking or trellising are recommended due to heavy bud production. The strain requires careful nutrient management with phosphorus-heavy feeding during flowering. Humidity control is critical, especially during late flowering stages to prevent mold. Regular monitoring for pests like spider mites and aphids is essential, with organic pesticides preferred over synthetic alternatives.
