Strawberry Starburst
Also known as: Strawberry Star Burst, Strawberry Burst
Overview
Strawberry Starburst is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Irie Genetics from crossing Strawberry Fields with Arise. This modern boutique strain is prized for its candy-forward sweetness, vivid strawberry notes, and balanced hybrid effects. The strain typically exhibits a 77% sativa and 23% indica genetic composition, offering users an energizing boost perfect for wake-and-bake or daytime use. Strawberry Starburst displays dense, resin-coated buds that showcase a kaleidoscope of colors ranging from bright greens to deep purples, interspersed with rich orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes. The strain's terpene-rich bouquet creates an aromatic profile reminiscent of fresh strawberry candy with underlying kush, fuel, and gas notes. In many markets, Strawberry Starburst is discussed as either a phenotype of Pink Starburst that leans heavily into red-berry aromatics or represents the fusion of Pink Starburst genetics with strawberry lineage. The strain fills a popular niche among consumers who want dessert-like flavors without sacrificing potency, typically offering bright, uplifting onset effects before settling into a clear, calm body feel.

Growing Information
Strawberry Starburst can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 63-70 days (approximately 9-10 weeks). The strain presents moderate growing difficulty and responds well to training techniques such as topping, canopy management, and SOG (Sea of Green) methods. Growers can expect huge yields with proper care, reaching around 680g/m² indoors and up to 1814g per plant outdoors. The strain thrives in warm, sunny environments with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C). Indoor cultivation requires maintaining specific VPD levels (0.9-1.2 kPa in veg, 1.2-1.4 kPa in flower) and humidity control (60-65% early veg, 45-50% early flower, 40-45% late flower). Light intensity should target 500-700 PPFD in late veg and 700-900 PPFD in mid to late flower. The strain is available as regular (non-feminized) seeds and produces tall, branchy growth that benefits from trellis netting support.
