Smoke Report:
The Star Pupil is a very interesting strain.
Smell-wise she's complex as well but in a piney way! I'm getting a forest smell with interesting hints of basil (which is what lingers when smoking the flower).
Look-wise she doesn't have exotic colors, just a lighter shade of green with nice, darker orange hairs. A bit more loose and airy than the Star Pupil.
Effects, they come fast and you feel it in your upper chest. She's definitely a sativa and I wouldn't recommend consuming her in the evening or before bed. You'll feel energetic, uplifted and happy (in the same group-vibe as the Star Pupil but more pronounced) . A couple friends told me they had almost psychedelic effects after smoking it, I personally haven't experienced it.

What can I say besides: It just works! I wish it had more headroom, 5ft isn't much after looking ~2ft to pots and vent/light setup.

Overall, pretty easy plant to grow as long as you don't let her get root-bound at all, and watch out your levels of nitrogen as she's extremely sensible to Nitrogen.

growing 5 star and it has turned purple with great bud formation in week 7 of flower - takes 8 weeks - also did star pupil but 5 star was the best all round and has that Pack-a-stand along with afghan and Thai _ going to get a very high yield for thisstrain

looks like "n" issues because of the leaves just flush and let plant get very dry before feeding - don't get me wrong great looking plants - these two strains can be difficult

@Azgrows,
have gotten good yields with a 30day veg not counting germination and seedling stages ( I start veg time when there are 3 "true" sets of leaves) I am on week 8 - at the end 60day flower - will be harvesting in 2 days There flowwer times are right on. Here are a few that I have: 5 Star - Star Pupil -Panama Goo -Fisheye OG -Acapulco Gold (a pure sativa heirloom/landrance) and GOJI Pupil
with a 30day flower = 3 foot plant = 1/2 / to 1 lb harvest

@airplane, for sure and thanks brotha!
They're in FF Happy Frog soil (with ~30% perlite), I only started feeding her some FF Big Bloom (barely any N) and some CalMag at 5 weeks. the recent clawing is due to feeding her some of FF's Grow Big once. As for watering I've been letting them getting very dry (3-5 days). I've been reading up Mass Medical Strains' tips and listening to his podcasts, very informative.
They're showing (I think) potassium deficiency but I'm not sure what to feed her without adding too much nitrogen (that's why I tried giving them some FF GrowBig)
Probably gonna veg them a full 8 weeks before flipping to flowering, it's gonna be hard to wait!

I noticed that you didn't get the purple pheno of the Star Pupil. How big were the buds? Large fat kolas or just clusters of bud at roughly a foot or less intervals?
If you can remember. I'm currently growing that strain right now and I've got two purple Phenos and two non purple phenos

would consider 45 day veg then flower

watch the "N" with these plants - don't hardly give them much at all and also you can let them get very dry between feeding/watering - mean letting them go for 3-4 days no water
