Four Star General Feminised

Open a jar of properly cured Four Star General and the first impression is unmistakably myrcene — a deep, earthy musk with undertones of ripe tropical fruit, reminiscent of overripe mango left in the sun. Beneath this primary note, limonene introduces a bright citrus lift that emerges mid-palate. This 62/38 hybrid tests at 30% THC, but the sensory journey is what distinguishes Four Star General from other cultivars at comparable potency. Think of it like comparing a single-origin wine to a blended table variety — the numbers might overlap, but the experience diverges sharply.

Growing Four Star General for maximum terpene expression requires deliberate choices that differ from growing purely for yield. The Myrcene/Limonene/Pinene profile responds particularly well to organic living soil — the microbial activity in a well-established no-till bed creates secondary metabolites that synthetic nutrients simply cannot replicate. Irish growers have access to excellent local compost and worm-casting suppliers that make this approach practical.

During the 55-65 days period, avoid foliar sprays after week 2 — anything deposited on developing trichomes compromises the aromatic purity at harvest. Temperature manipulation in the final three weeks profoundly influences which terpenes dominate the cured flower: cooler night temperatures (16-18°C) amplify myrcene expression, whilst warmer finishes preserve the lighter pinene top notes.

The cure is where most growers leave flavour on the table. After a 10-14 day hang dry at 15-18°C and 55-60% relative humidity (the hard part of growing here — Irish ambient humidity sits near 80% year-round, so a dehumidifier in the drying room is not optional, and a wine fridge set to 16°C works well for small amounts), transfer to glass jars and burp twice daily for the first fortnight. The limonene secondary notes that make this strain genuinely special only emerge after 21-28 days of jar curing. Patience transforms a good flower into a remarkable one.

Flowering: 55-65 days. Indoor yield: up to 350 g/m2. Outdoor yield: up to 350 g/plant. Plant height: Short. Rated intermediate difficulty.

Irish users report relaxed, happy, euphoric as the defining characteristics, and our experience aligns with that consensus. At 30% THC, this hybrid sits in a potency bracket where versatility is the main advantage. Morning users report functional clarity at lower doses. Evening users report satisfying relaxation at higher doses. The 62/38 balance means the dominant effect direction shifts with consumption amount rather than being locked into a single character. The Myrcene/Limonene terpene combination imparts a flavour that lingers on the palate — earthy and slightly sweet with a fruit-like finish.

Ideal settings: adaptable across occasions — adjust dose to match the energy level your situation calls for.

Primary: Myrcene · Secondary: Limonene · Tertiary: Pinene. Flavour translation from flower to vapour and smoke differs with this terpene combination. Low-temperature vaporisation (180-188°C) highlights the limonene and pinene notes whilst keeping myrcene as a foundation. Higher temperatures or combustion flatten the profile into a single-note experience — still pleasant, but lacking the complexity that makes this cultivar genuinely interesting to those who appreciate flavour.

Four Star General suits growers with fundamental skills already established. You should understand pH management, basic nutrient ratios, and light cycle requirements before committing to this cultivar — it will not hold your hand, but it will not punish minor mistakes harshly either. Photoperiod genetics give you complete control over plant size and harvest timing — extend the vegetative phase for larger plants or flip early for a quicker turnaround in compact spaces. The Irish growing season (September through May) accommodates the 55-65 days bloom period comfortably for outdoor growers in the warmer, frost-free counties.
