Good Looking Plant! Doesn't matter where it's from just as long as it smokes well. Thanks for the photos.
Lets have a death star thread! Come on in!
- Thread starter smurfin'herb
- Start date
I grow deathstar and also did the dumpster... theyre great genetics, but feel theyre getting slightly over hyped in here. I keep the DS around for its unique smell and flavor, but as far as potency goes... i have quite a few strains that are stronger w/o question. i.e. Stardawg, Chem, The White, Guava etc.
I think the white is probably the strongest or the guava.
ya, a good chem cut is waaaaay stronger than deathstar ime....

pretty stuff. Is it normally that colorful or are you running a colder room?
I got death star mom flowering now @ around 21 days in. Will try to get some shots up tonight so maybe you can guys can see if she's legit as she progresses.
I had what I know what a actual cut of the real stuff (what smurfin'herb has), but ultimately lost it in a location move while I friend held it. Another friend gifted me a few clones which he got through the grapevine, but rather new grower so I question the legitimacy of the strains he's gotten his hands on.
Smurf, you still on here? Would like to compare my current flowering DS with what you've been running. Will post shots as she progresses.

Heres some pics from the other day. Shes beefin up more n more. Gettin chopped in 2 days @ 73-74 days bloomin. She is official original cut obtained from some very well respected (well renowned
)ohio native buddies that have had her for atleast a decade +. I do run abit of a colder night time temp. Sometimes dipin to 60...but usually seems like everything turns purple since i started tent growin plus cold winter plus an nutes.These arent the biggest colas, kind of side lower beefy buds

Now this is the DS I remember - with the Thinner ECSD style leaves and the light purping - this is what I always talked about when I said that the cured nugs have an almost grey look from the trich production but with very light streaks of purps and reds, as these usually dissipate with curing, although some streaking usually sticks. This makes me miss both the original DS and the DS BX ECSD I was running for awhile there. Lost both those girls when I had to shut down for awhile, and then due to a security issue that BX ECSD cut was lost (at least from the guy I got it from) - hope I can track down both cuts again, but I try to stay outta the Cbus loop where most of the cuts are being held right now - Greek city crew seems to be hoarding them now that CC did the Jedi cross, but hopefully I can get my hands back on one of my favorite "homeland" cuts - cause even though it's just as potent as some of the best West Coast hybrids, it's buzz is what's so special to me (not to mention that Ogre taste masked in sour-hashyness is just to die for), god damn does this make me miss my BubbleStar cuts...
Damn the east coast for making us lose our cuts due to security breaches!!! But that's why I've been staying outta the loop and restarting everything. Guess that's the way it works.

thanks for the props, I know exactly what you mean bro. I'm actually all the way on the east coast, I know some really cool Ohio growers from a buddy who passed me the Death Star. In fact I can remember the first time I tried her, I smoked some wispy popcorns and 1 hit had me to the moon! Myself and 2 other people were absolutely shocked at the potency, and I let mine run at least 10 days longer than the samples that I've smoked, so I'm actually kind of scared of this lol. I'll post dry shops in about 1.5 to 2 weeks. Hands down the most potent strain I've tried, and the smell and taste is to die for. once I get this baby dialed, I know I'll be pullin at least a QP of knee high shrubs!

Those pics on this page are definitly not the good Deathstar pheno. The real Deathstar is more indica and only stretches about a 6 out of 10 on the stretch scale.

A good way to tell if you have the best cut is if the main stem goes back and forth slightly where as other strains will just grow straight up. It also has raised lines going vertical on the main stem

Mega - not sure how you'd be able to tell that from THESE pics - but it does look like his might be the more Sativa dominant pheno - which could be the BX ECSD version, or it could just be the setup he's using. Plus these are definitely side-branch pics. But looks like the girl I had way back in 05'-06', and a little like the BX-ECSD version that came out for a little while there (god I miss those girls..) - but this is definitely straight DS, and I've never heard of any special "lines" going vertically up the stem, except if it has a nutrient def. - Not saying you're wrong, just curious on this judgement of his cut, especially what "back and forth" slightly on the the main stem means - I've grown DS both topped and un-topped and it definitely grows a-lot better topped, but I guess I'm just not sure what you're trying to indicate. Plus you are definitely right about less stretch on the original DS cut (stretches about 1.5x the original size and the ECSD BX stretch is about 2-2.5x).
Just curious how you'd judge this based on pics, and remember environment makes a huge difference, especially with this strain. But it's kinda like OG - their are 60 million pics of the original, and every grower has different results even with the same cut.
Anyway to indicate what I'm looking over or why it looks like the old-school cut I know??

The mains stem will tick tok back and fourth as it grows up. Only one other strain out of the hundreds I've grown have done this. The lines you can feel, kinda like veins so to speak. I'm not saying yours isn't a Deathstar cut , it's just more of an ecsd pheno. Remember there are 7 different phenos floating around.
I don't know if you can make it out but here are the ridges he is talking about.
Here is the back and forth jogging.

Now see I remember it having that super thick skin - (confused when Mega called them veins though) and if I remember correctly my original DS cut had the angular internodes (another thing I didn't quite understand by the back and forth) but I think the BX ECSD pheno had that same thick skin but was more of a straight-up without that angular-nodes. One thing is, I can't see any stems in the pics that Ticalion posted - but it reminds me alot of the BX ECSD more so than the first cut I had of it. But I haven't had either of those cuts since around 2009 or so, had to quit for a few years due to medical issues and then lost the cuts when a buddy had a security problem. But I do remember the short original DS pheno definitely having angular internodes (which is rare - you're right about that Mega) - but definitely had a bit of a misunderstanding there. But like I said from the beginning "the ECSD style leaves" which I should have stated was something I noticed way more on my BX ECSD pheno than the original, but it's been almost 4 years since I got to grow either.. I miss those dirty little b!tches.. lol. But glad to see it showing the purpling that, yes, is more conducive to the ECSD pheno and takes droppign down into the high 60's to get - but if you look in my profile pics - you'll see what my old DS nugs looked like, and you tell me if they look original or not - those pics are from the original pheno, not the BX ECSD pheno. Either way, I'm gonna have to get my hands back on this little beauty.

My pheno is NOT the sativa pheno. In veg shes got kind of chubby bladed leaves. And she barely stretched in bloom, maybe 10 inches in bloom. Shortest plant in my tent. Finishing knee cap-thigh height, but shrubby crazy bushes. Plant structure is nothing like ECSD, altho the taste is and the smell, when dried smells suuuper deeeezy, just minus abit of the dead skunk smell. Tastes very sour deez.
Did u mean my pics? This is the only real deathstar that i know of. It looked pretty diffefent in my buddies room who i got the cuts from...he never got any purple out of his buds. who again grew up w one of the major player in the ohio scene years back.

My dstar def. Has the funky nodes, i think causing the short bushyness. In veg she was soooo tight noded and growing kind of out instead of up.

Deathstar clone at 28 days flower.
Bit of overnute I think (only in a 2 gal which has me scramblin to keep her wet), but think she'll pull through. Was questioning whether she was the real deal based on whom I received her from after losing what I know was the real deal, but this plant does have the growth structure and lines up the stalk as you guys describe.
