Death Star is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a sour fuel, sweet diesel, earthy spice profile, 19-24% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene. It is best known for deep evening, the after-shift heavy session, with effects setting in medium, 5 minutes, slow-build heavy body slam. Terp Bros NYC stocks Death Star-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Death Star is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: deep evening, the after-shift heavy session. Onset is medium, 5 minutes, slow-build heavy body slam. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.

Death Star traces back to Sour Diesel crossed with Sensi Star, with a documented origin story rooted in Ohio, early 2000s, became a Midwest dispensary favorite for the diesel-meets-indica profile. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
diesel-fans who want to wind down at night go to Death Star, gets the diesel terp profile without the daytime energy. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Death Star in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Death Star a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. Death Star's caryophyllene + myrcene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does Death Star cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Death Star contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Death Star? Death Star typically tests in the 19-24% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Death Star safe for first-time cannabis customers? Death Star is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
