Death Star

A skunky, sweet jet-fuel aroma, pungent enough to fill the nostrils, is where Leafly says the Death Star name comes from, and the strain behind this flower crosses Sensi Star with Sour Diesel. Leafly lists it as an indica and also writes it as Deathstar. AllBud puts the split at 75% indica and 25% sativa, calling the strain an indica dominant hybrid that carries the best traits of both parents.

Jet fuel, lemon and rubber

Diesel, pungent and tea are the flavours named in Leafly’s text, while the ones its readers pick most are skunk, pungent and diesel. AllBud describes lemon and rubber on the nose and an unusual sweetness once tasted, and it cautions that the smell can turn a little pungent because both parents contribute. Its aroma tags are diesel, earthy, pungent, skunky and sweet.

What dated reviews say about the smell and taste

A January 2026 Leafly reviewer loves the tingly feel and the stinky smell and likens it to black, dark-roast coffee. An August 2026 reviewer calls it insanely gassy and very potent. A July 2025 reviewer found it heavy on jet fuel, with notes read as garlic and sulfur, and disliked the taste while liking the effects.

On AllBud, a September 2026 reviewer describes a lemony, skunky-sweet inhale, woods and sugary diesel on the exhale, and a high that creeps up after about 10 minutes.

Frost, purple stems and sticky buds

Leafly describes a frosty look with purple shades visible in the stems. AllBud also mentions purple in the stems, along with broad leaves and buds that turn extremely sticky when crushed between the fingers. Our guide to the best indica strains is a further read for fans of heavier-leaning classics.

Strength and terpene order

Leafly lists THC at 19% and recommends the strain to experienced consumers, and its gauge for potency puts it above average. AllBud shows THC at 18% to 27%. Caryophyllene comes first in the terpene results Leafly sources from lab data, with myrcene second and limonene third.

Leafly reviewers report feeling relaxed, tingly and euphoric, and AllBud’s tags are euphoria, happy and relaxing. For smoking and vaping, Health Canada begins smoking and vaping advice at a puff or two of a product rated 10% THC or under, and both THC ranges above sit over that mark.

Keeping the smell contained

Our Death Star guide carries a tip from Robert Misic aimed at the odour, which one reviewer warns lingers: store the flower in a glass jar that seals airtight, and grind only the amount you plan to use. Our weed storage guide covers the wider question of keeping flower fresh.
