Also known as: Rockstar Kush, Rockstar OG
Overview
BC Rockstar, also known as Rockstar Kush, is a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid strain that has earned acclaim throughout British Columbia for its exceptional medical qualities and potent effects. Created through crossing Rockstar and Bubba Kush, this strain was bred by B.C. Bud Depot and has established itself as one of Canada's most sought-after cannabis varieties. The strain gained significant recognition by earning 2nd place at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup in the hybrid category, cementing its reputation among both recreational users and medical patients.
BC Rockstar presents visually striking buds that are medium-sized, lime green, and spade-shaped with rich amber hairs and a dense coating of crystal clear trichomes. The strain emits a complex aromatic profile featuring heavy skunky and piney undertones that intensify when the buds are broken apart. The flavor follows suit with a rich blend of spicy blueberry earth, diesel notes, and a pungent skunky aftertaste that becomes more pronounced upon exhale. This strain's high THC content, typically ranging from 22-28%, combined with its unique terpene profile dominated by myrcene, makes it particularly effective for evening and nighttime use when deep relaxation is desired.

Growing Information
BC Rockstar is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, best suited for experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and typically finishes between September and October when grown outdoors. Plants can reach considerable heights of 60-80 inches outdoors and are known for their high yield potential. Indoor cultivation yields approximately 1-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor growing can produce 2-3 ounces per plant or potentially over a pound under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but requires careful attention to environmental conditions. Plants develop dense, trichome-coated buds with broad, fan-shaped leaves typical of indica genetics.
