Sensi Star Cannabis Cultivation

Sensi Star Cannabis Cultivation

The Sensi Star is the most potent indica strain you will ever encounter. Because of its small size, it’s an ideal breed for indoor growers who want to maximize space. It performs well in either hydro or soil with only 8 to 9 weeks spent in flowering.

Sensi Star works exceptionally in a Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (SCROG) setup where the side branches become thicker to produce excellent yields! Outdoor cultivation of the Sensi Star allows it to grow into a fat and beautiful bush which sprouts from the ground. When placed in an area with plenty of sun, the plant will produce plenty of thick, rock hard buds.

The following grow journal records Sensi Star cultivation by a novice grower.

These equipment and supplies were used to start this grow:

  • Tent – Mars Hydro 27” x 27” 63”
  • Fan/Filter – Fusion breath 4”
  • Light – 1 x Sungrow 150HPS, 4 x 50W DIY IC 110V Smart LED
  • Soil – Coco Coir, Perlite, worm castings, shrimp compost
  • Nutrients – 2.5 cups of Gala Green 4-4-4; 2.5 cups of Gala Green 2-8-4
  • Planters – 4.5 gallon plastic mesh with fabric planting bag inside

August 4th

The seeds arrive on August 1st. They were soaked for 12 hours. One of three cracked open and they were all dumped into paper towels in a warm spot. Next morning, all the seeds showed a tap root. They were then placed into solo cups under 2 x 23W CFLs.

The first seedling sprouted from the ground!

Good news and bad news.

First the good news: number 2 and 3 are both visible. Bad news: number 2 is stalled with the cotyledons still closed. They have been like that for 3 days already. To help remedy the situation, two more 23W CFLs were added and the seedlings moved up within an inch of them. These are #2 and #3 (left to right).

Looks like #1 got a bit of sunburn. Hope that’s all it is.

Update time! Leaves are looking wrinkly, probably a sign of calcium deficiency. Misted with some calcium nitrate. #2 has a strange growth pattern that may correct itself. Here are some photos.

Here are some photos of #3.

This is plant #1. You can see she has developed more leaves from the last time.

Needed to get the plants out of the starter mix. It’s terrible. Water pH going in was 7.5 and didn’t register on the two strips going out so it may be well below pH 5.5.

The plan was to use these fabric pond planters (left) into the moisture net pots (right) giving some air space all around.

This plant doesn’t have the best root system.

Hopefully, they will still like their new home. Will keep them under the CFLs for a little bit to get adjusted to the soil then put them under the LEDs.

After the transplant, they’re doing much better. The first photo (left) is 2 days after the transplant and the one on the right is 3 days.

They are in the tent and based on their appearance, #3 definitely needs a little more time before she flips to 12/12 and as you will see, the temperature is a little high while the RH is a little low. There’s no need to worry… for now.

September 1st

They are looking very healthy now. Noticed a couple of small, flying critters. Not yet sure but some diatomaceous earth were laid down in case those were unfriendly insects.

Both plants are starting 12/12 light cycle tonight!
