How to Grow Stardawg Weed Strain

Stardawg Weed Strain Description

Stardawg Strain is a potent hybrid born from Chemdog #4 x Tres Dawg. With THC levels ranging from 17% to 25% and CBD at just 0.02%, it delivers a happy, energetic high that also soothes the body. This Stardawg Weed Strain plant (45% Indica / 55% Sativa) develops long, resin-coated colas with bright citrus and pine aromas. Growers love its vigorous growth and forgiving nature, while medical users value its relief for fatigue, muscle spasms, and stress.

Plants reach about 5.9 ft (1.8 m) tall and finish flowering in 9–10 weeks. Indoor yields run around 0.98 oz/ft² (300 g/m²), while outdoor specimens can produce up to 26 oz (750 g) per plant under ideal conditions. The terpene profile featuring limonene, myrcene, humulene, eucalyptol, and others drives both aroma and therapeutic effects.

Growing Environment

Stardawg thrives in stable, well-ventilated spaces. Indoors, maintain temperatures between 70–80 °F (21–27 °C) by day, dropping to 60–70 °F (16–21 °C) at night. Keep humidity at 60–70% during vegetative growth, then reduce to 40–50% during flowering to prevent mold and encourage resin development.

Use quality LED or HPS lighting. Provide 18–20 hours of light per day during veg, then switch to 12 hours on/12 hours off to trigger flowering. Outdoors, choose a sunny, sheltered spot with rich, well-draining soil. Amend soil with compost or worm castings and protect plants from strong winds with simple barriers. Good airflow and drainage ensure healthy, high-yielding crops.

Setting Up Your Grow Space

Stardawg Weed Strain Indoor Cultivation

Choose a grow tent or spare room lined with reflective Mylar. Install an exhaust fan and carbon filter to control temperature, humidity, and odor. Place oscillating fans at canopy height to circulate fresh air. Start seedlings in 1 gallon pots of quality soil (pH 6.0–6.5). After 3–4 weeks, transplant into 3–5 gallon containers to allow roots space to expand.

Additionally, monitor CO₂ levels if possible Stardawg responds well to mild CO₂ enrichment during the peak of flowering. Consider running a small CO₂ bag or tank to boost photosynthesis and maximize bud development.

Stardawg Weed Strain Outdoor Cultivation

Pick a level area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun. Prepare the soil by mixing in compost and perlite for drainage. Use large fabric pots or raised beds if your soil is heavy. Erect windbreaks using stakes and shade cloth to protect against strong gusts. Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries, then allow it to dry slightly between waterings to promote robust root systems.

Also, keep an eye on local pests like caterpillars and grasshoppers. Planting companion herbs basil or marigold around your Stardawg can help repel unwanted insects naturally and create a healthier outdoor ecosystem.

Seed Propagation and Germination

To germinate, soak Stardawg seeds in distilled water for 12–24 hours, then transfer to damp paper towels inside a sealed container. Keep at 75–80 °F (24–27 °C) with 70%–80% humidity. Once taproots appear (1–3 days), plant seeds ¼ inch deep in small pots filled with light, well-draining soil.

Provide gentle light (CFL or low-power LEDs) until true leaves appear. Water lightly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Strong early care sets the foundation for vigorous growth.

Vegetative Phase

During veg, give Stardawg 18–20 hours of bright light daily. Feed a balanced fertilizer high in nitrogen to promote lush foliage and strong stems. Maintain temperature at 72–76 °F (22–24 °C) and humidity at 60–70%.

Use low-stress training (LST) or topping after the third node to create an even canopy and expose more bud sites to light. Water when the top inch of soil dries to encourage deep root development and prevent overwatering.

Stardawg Weed Strain Flowering Phase

Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate flowering. Increase bloom nutrients with higher phosphorus and potassium levels. Keep temperatures between 65–75 °F (18–24 °C) and humidity at 40–50% to maximize resin production and avoid mold.

Support heavy colas with stakes or trellis netting. Inspect trichomes with a magnifier harvest when most are cloudy with some amber for an optimal balance of potency and flavor.

Fertilization and Nutrition

Begin feeding at 50% strength of a balanced vegetative nutrient in week 2, ramp up to full strength by week 4. In flowering, switch to a bloom formula (e.g., 1-3-2 NPK) at 75% strength. Monitor runoff pH (6.0–6.5) and adjust nutrient doses if you see signs of burn or deficiency.

Supplement with organic teas (kelp or compost tea) weekly to feed beneficial microbes and enhance terpenes. Flush with plain water during the final week to remove excess salts and improve flavor.

Pest and Disease Control

Inspect the canopy daily for spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies. Maintain a clean grow area remove dead foliage and sanitize tools regularly. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap preventively every 10 days.

At the first sign of infestation, spray affected areas and rinse after 24 hours. For powdery mildew, prune infected leaves, boost airflow, and apply a 1:9 milk-water spray. Prompt action preserves plant health.

Stardawg Weed Strain Harvesting and Curing

Harvest when 70–80% of trichomes are cloudy with a few amber. Cut branches and hang them upside down in a dark, ventilated room at 60–65 °F (15–18 °C) and 50–60% humidity for 7–10 days, until stems snap.

Trim buds and cure in airtight jars with 62% RH packs. “Burp” jars daily for the first week, then every 2–3 days for 2–4 weeks. Proper curing deepens flavor, enhances aroma, and smooths the smoke.
