The Cross
Stardawg improves on Golden Goat in every direction while the mother’s character comes through anyway.
The Parents
Golden Goat is an accident. An unintentional three way cross out of Kansas between Romulan, a Hawaiian sativa and Island Sweet Skunk. It became especially popular in Colorado and it is a curiosity why it never made its way elsewhere. People describe it as smelling like a soda factory dumpster in July, syrupy and almost sickly sweet with lemon, lime, mango and exotic fruit. It is quick flowering and high yielding, which is rare for a sativa.
Stardawg is Chem 4 crossed to Tres Dawg, from Top Dawg Seeds.
What’s In The Pack
Ten regular photoperiod seeds, males included.
In The Garden
70-80 days. Mostly sativa, quick flowering and high yielding.
After running a pack of these I am very impressed. The keeper I chose has an earthy, spicy, fruity aroma and appears to be rolled in sugar. She’s completely covered in trichomes and a very potent daytime smoke. All the females had a great calyx to leaf ratio and were full of vigor. This one will be in our stables for years to come. The stardawg did it again!
Excellent smoke. Leaned more toward the chem side.
All seeds popped with a good female to male ratio. All females turned out high quality bud with some having a good amount of purple tones. Each one was different, but compelling. I tested the two overall best to see which one to keep. One came in at 23% THC the other came in at 25.2%. All produced dense, chunky nugs covered in copious amounts of resin.
Popped 7 of the regular Golden Nugget (Stardawg), all 7 came up without any issues. Ended up with 4 females and 1 qualified keeper male. Keeper male had really nice branching, strong/thick stems, and a very nice skunky/fruity smell. The 4 females were pretty unique in phenos, with 2 of them being very similar in growth/bud structure.
The smells I’m getting out of the phenos are: multi citrus fruit basket, skunky fruit with chem backnotes, a full fledged chem musky sock, and one that reeks like model glue for model plane/car hobbyists (started off with that signature chem 4 pinesol smell and eventually turned into even more acrid ‘model glue’.
I’m posting pics of all 4 females at about day 65 for flower, I’m pulling these down on day 75 and letting one of the phenos go a few more days/week as it appears to be more sativa leaning (this is the skunky fruit with chem backnotes one).
Overall I was incredibly impressed with the vigor of these plants in veg, the frostiness of these plants in flower, and the overall variability of the phenotypes presented, I would have a very hard time picking THE keeper from this run as all 4 females brought something unique to the table. If I was forced to pick one right now, it’d be the model glue smelling plant, though the sativa leaner is a close second place. The Stardawg chem lines were very heavily represented in all the phenos, and as someone who was looking for more Golden Goat leaning phenos, I still was incredibly happy with the end results. I would recommend GPS and Golden Nugget (Stardawg) seeds to anyone who would ask.

The best DNA ever. These plants are crazy strong and prolific. Take a look at these babies born on 08/09/18 🙂
Soaked 3 beans on 6/23 and all 3 popped within 12 hours! Went straight into coco and all 3 were above ground on 6/26. This pic is 18 days from soaking. Looking great so far! So glad I found Greenpoint! Cant wait to see how they turn out! Got an excellent deal on reverse auction and cant wait to order again. Definitely going to be my go to from here on out! Got a bonus seed and some awesome gifts with my order as well!!! Thanks GP!!! This is just my second grow and the seedlings are way healthier than the two strains I got from overseas for my first grow! Not to mention almost half the price and I received them in less than a week after payment! I will try to update when I go into flower and my end results.
Update on my August 2018 review. We’ve ran it a few more times. Dense, high yielding, resin dripping nugs. Easy to grow. Not a lot of stretch, Indica structure. Indica leaning, heavy hitter.
I got this pack before it was sold out ! Beautiful healthy fat seeds.
great
This one is covered in trichomes and a good example of golden goat.
I used gold nuggets to get these on reverse auction, good deals to be had at auction if your patient.
Good strain and good deal too. Thanks GPS!
