Pink Death Star AAAA

Pink Death Star AAAA is a visually appealing hybrid developed by Riot Seeds, the Netherlands-based breeders who have given us the flavourful Clockwork Orange. It is a cross between potent indica Death Star and Riot Seeds’ own Blood Rose, a tasty blend of Skunk #1 and Black Rose.

The leaves themselves are a bright shade of spring green with dark green patches and are threaded through with burnt orange pistils. Leaves frequently also show vibrant flashes of purple, ranging from lavender to violet. These hues come about when pigments called anthocyanins are stimulated by colder than average temperatures during the growing process.

Amber trichomes are the crowning glory on these colourful buds, giving them a slightly yellow sheen. These are also particularly resinous flowers — handling them will leaves fingers sticky and fragrant.

Aroma

When properly cured, Pink Death Star gives off a very spicy aroma with notes of pepper and ginger. These palate-stinging top notes are grounded out by an earthy and musky base. Grinding up or breaking open the cone-shaped nugs yields skunk and diesel odours, likely due to the Sour Diesel and Skunk #1 in this strain’s genetics.

When combusted, it burns with a harsh smoke that can induce coughing and make eyes water.

Pink Death Star leaves behind a musky, herbal taste when exhaled. Notably, there are no discernible grape or berry flavours to accompany this strain’s purple colour. Finally, this can be a very pungent smoke; those looking to keep their consumption discreet should take precautions.

Pink Death Star AAAA is a creeper. Taking several minutes after smokers have savoured its rich flavour before its heavy effects set in. Users may initially detect a heaviness in the limbs and the sudden desire to sit down in the closest comfortable surroundings. You find that muscular tension is eased and that deep breathing comes more easily.

Effects

Although mental effects can be observed, these manifest more as a cloudy, dreamy state than any kind of exacting cerebral energy. These psychedelic effects make Pink Death Star a great way to enjoy low-key movies or music. As dosage is increased, smokers become couch-locked and immobilized. Because of these sleepy vibes, Pink Death Star is better suited to nighttime.

This strain has several uses for medical cannabis patients as well. Its full-body stone can provide relief from:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• PTSD
• Aches and Pains
• Nausea

In high enough doses, Pink Death Star can be a good way to treat insomnia. Because of its relative lack of intense cerebral effects, Pink Death Star may be a good choice for those who are prone to insomnia or who have a low THC tolerance.

Although its name is intimidating, Pink Death Star AAAA is sure to ease you into a state of deep relaxation. It’s as enjoyable for solo use as it is when shared with good friends.

Expert Review

Wow does this stuff ever hit hard – SMACK straight to the face. Immediately when opening the bag I was hit in the face with the pungent sour gas aroma and the glossy aesthetics of the amber coloured trichomes covering these flowers from head to toe. Very dank and very dense buds stick and hang from your fingers they’re so sticky. Multicoloured greens and some faint pale purples have some very healthy red hairs protruding out every which way. This bud is so dank with resin that it sizzles and crackles as it burns and gives it a very slow consistent burn at that burning off a light grey ash that’s solid and dank itself. Super impressed with this batch of Pink Death Star, it knocks me on my butt every time and I would definitely call this one a couch locking, eat absolutely friggin everything in sight high. Heavy hitting smoke tends to grab the back of your throat from being so potent and some hauls take a bit of focus not to cough. All gas and no breaks on this bag, from the pungent aroma through to the flavour and from beautiful bud to its clean silver ash.
