Sensi star is a loverly smoke. That lemony scent and taste is loverly. The stone I found to be a bit of a creeper, but all good

The one I had didn't quite double in height in 12/12, grew relatively bushy and of an average yield

Sensi star is a graet smoke with a sedating high it has massive resin production early into flowering.But i do have to be honest i have never grown such a touchy plant as far as feeding(nutrient) strength. During veg stage i had signs of nutrient burning on the tips and different types of lockout at .6 ec which is quiet low. When i went into flowering i thought i could get away with a bit stronger nutes, so i tried 1.2 and again had signs of overfertilization. It was a headache for me to grow but i could have just been off or the nutes were old i dont know. Just thought id share my grow with you just be real easy on the nutes and u wil be rewarded greatly.GOOD LUCK

I'm growing Sensi Star at the moment and my main plant is just coming to the end of it's 8th week of flowering, so I've had a couple of small samples.
I agree with both Webby and Michigan as what they say is what I've found myself. Mine just about doubled in height in flowering and tends to grow more bushy than upright. The stone is also a bit of a creeper from the small samples I've had so far, it kind of creeps up on you and then wham! Slow to get going but you know about it when you get there!
I've also found the plant to be very nutrient fussy and very easy to burn or over fertilise - it simply doesn't like high levels of nutrients and even a 1/4 of recommended dose is a bit iffy. My suggestion to anyone growing SS is to use the soil nutrients (if you're growing in soil of course) and try and avoid actually giving it additional feeds. If you pot up regularly in vegetative growth 4" > 8" > 12" and then go into flowering a week or so after the 12" pot you should only need to feed it for the last 6 weeks or so of flowering. At least thats how I'd do it next time.
I was also plagued with Magnesium deficiencies right through the grow which may well be the Allmix soil I was using and high chlorine hard water I have, so it may not necessarily be down to the plant itself - something to keep an eye on though.
Good luck to you with your SS grow, if you look after her I'm sure she'll reward you

S'odd, found mine a bit of a nute' whore, she was in all-mix, and had 2ml grow and 4ml bloom per litre most of the way through flowering, plus a couple of doses of salts, then 1ml grow and 1ml for the last 2 weeks ish. Hardly stretched at all, prolly only 50% of her original height. Looked like this after 68 days when she got the chop.
Stone's strong and couch-locky, no let me correct that it's very strong and couch-locky. Not sure i like it, makes me a bit jumpy and edgy....

i heard sensi star is sensitive to nutrients
how about alg a mic, top max or heaven
should theses produtcs be ok to use as schedule says?
its only the grow and bloom that will burn them rite?

Couchlocky
and edgy? Those two are normally opposites. Did you chop it a bit young?

im running coupe o these in me tent at the mo and mine are pretty greedy with the feed tbh happiy scrannin at around 1.8. me stretch was about x3 with these, ones a nice full budded girl and the others got skinnier bud formation but has gone purple/brown

.
been told not to takem anymore than 8 n arf week max( could only takem to 7 n arf last run and they were a lovely smoke but just lacked a litte summat, probably maturity

)

Gotta be one of the best strains going, apart from fussy w nutes.
2 distinct phenos, the lemon diesel one and the more skunky one that yields a bit more. Both are excellent, stretch was x1.75 for me roughly.
I left mine to do as they wanted and didnt nute them too much, learnt a lot from my first run of them.

they fussy with the nutes but how about seaweed extract like algamic?

is that rite only take them 8 and a half. how about if the pistels arnt full and still clear resin caps
the ss looks like she will go for 65 to 70 days perfection
how come you pick so early
ps also about the 2 phenotypes
one more fatter bud with a eucaplitus smell
and other smaller but stinking skunky smell
nice smoke? whats the diffrents from the 2

p.s also i see some slight bud rot whats a bummer
how to handel that
on only one of the main colas i can see deep inside like cobwebby
how long dose the spores live for?
anywhoo I just guess cut it out at chop and lower humidity
p.s and disinfect weekly as best as possible

Dec 9 2008, 11:38 PM
i got my mate to cut out all the mold and iso it
all that efforts
i see why people like the ss proper frosty skunk
the bud rot was this white webby stufff and some roy the bud was just weeeet
guess its a lesson on make it more airy as the ss is a bush bitch
