South Star

South Star is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 0.9% CBD. Seeds come in feminized and regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the South Star high as a true two-sided experience — an energizing cerebral lift arrives first, sliding gradually into a mellow body calm that relaxes without switching you off completely. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make South Star a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect lemon and earthy up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a earthy finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped bright neon green nugs, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, South Star offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider South family — see South African D.P. 34 and South African Durban Poison x Skunk for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
