Death Star Auto: Otherworldly Bud 

The clever creation of combining parent strains East Coast Sour Diesel and Sensi Star, the Death Star Autoflowering strain of cannabis packs one heck of a punch.

With a high THC content of 26%, Death Star Auto is designed for veteran cannabis fans. Even a small hit will bring on mind-numbing effects that have the potential to leave you glued to the couch for the duration of your buzz. The euphoric mind and body high is highly sought after, increasing Death Star Auto’s popularity over the past few years. Users love it for its desired effects, and novice growers love it because of how easy it is to cultivate. 

Growing Tips for Death Star Auto Seeds

Death Star Auto plants grow shorter than your average strain and reach a maximum indoor height of 2-3 feet and an outdoor height of 3-4 feet. Like most cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment with Mediterranean climates and lots of sunlight, real or artificial, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a practical choice for beginner growers. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 20-27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Death Star Auto plants. You can drop the temperatures between 5-15 degrees at night to mimic natural sunlight and nighttime temperatures indoors. Humidity levels should fall between 40-60% during the vegetative stage, and drop to 30-40% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture helps eliminate the risk of mold while encouraging a more potent terpene profile. Because this strain is an autoflowering variety, it does not require a change in light to initiate the flowering stage. 

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Topping are the best techniques for the particular strain. These techniques will allow the plant to grow naturally without much outside influence. The ScrOG technique requires adding screens or nets to reinforce the heaviest buds so they don’t break the branches during growth. Topping the plant requires a bit of trimming to the top-most buds to allow air flow and light to reach the lower levels, ultimately creating even level growth from top to bottom.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Death Star Auto prefers a well-balanced nutrient cycle throughout the growth, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Death Star Auto strain has a flowering period of approximately 50-60 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in early October. Indoor growers will produce up to 300 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 250 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable. The smaller plant size means you can grow multiple plants in a smaller grow space and produce higher yields come harvest time. 

Dominant Terpenes in Death Star Auto

Death Star Auto’s diesel and skunky aroma pair well with its similarly earthy flavor, in part, due to dominant terpenes caryophyllene, delta-3 carene, humulene, limonene, and pinene. Caryophyllene is known for its peppery scent and taste with noticeable notes of spice. Delta-3 carene gives the strain a sweet, woody, piney, and even citrusy aroma and flavor. Humulene is known for being hoppy and can be found primarily in the hops they use to brew beer. Limonene adds notes of citrus and can be found in the rinds of citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. Pinene adds a pine-like aroma and flavor that can also be found in conifer trees. 

Dominant Cannabinoids in Death Star Auto

Death Star Auto’s THC content of 26% makes it strong enough to affect even the most seasoned cannabis users. Death Star Auto provides a strong mind and body buzz, bringing on waves of happiness and euphoria before eventually anchoring you to the couch for a restful and peaceful night in front of the TV. It is recommended that you use this strain at the end of the day or before bedtime.
