This strain features a unique orange and yellow looking resin tint that develops as it matures. White Star is notably hardy and resistant to mold and stress, making it appealing to both novice and experienced cultivators.
Developed by multiple breeders including Digital Genetics and Top Dawg Seeds, White Star has established itself as a potent strain with high medical value. The strain combines the cerebral stimulation of its sativa dominance with the relaxing qualities inherited from its indica genetics, creating a well-balanced hybrid that appeals to both recreational and medical cannabis users.

Some gardeners prolong the bloom to between 10 and 12 weeks for continued trichome production. The White Star can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 61 days (58-63 days). Indoors, the strain will do well in soil or hydro mediums and grow up to two metres. Flowering time is 10 to 12 weeks, and yields are around 400 grams per square metre. Outdoors, the plants will thrive with plenty of warm sunshine and grow to three metres or more. They need support in the later stages of growing as they stretch out.
