Here is a lengthy write up from their website
Star Pupil
Star Pupil is our most famous strain, and the plant that got us all started as world renowned breeders. A result of crossing genetics from seeds gifted by a friend, with supposed Thai/Afghan/Pakistan genetics (recently confirmed correct by genetic mapping), this plant stood out superbly, even in veg. She turned out to be the exact plant we were hoping for, and was named Star Pupil. Little did we know, Star Pupil would stick with us forever. Notable mentions are High Times Flower of the Month in January 2017 and medical growers and dispensaries cultivating this strain to help people in need. She is a very unique purple strain, and even makes people who "dont like purple weed" often change their minds!
As a plant, these are grown from Feminized seed. They are extremely consistent, stable and stress resistant plants, even as a Feminized variety. They like a little longer initial vegetative time from seed, and grow excellent and easy from clone. Best results when branches are spread out with stakes or netting. She is a unique plant and does better when watered less often. Flower time is 9 weeks indoors. Finishes by end of September outdoors. Stretch is medium, taller than a short indica but nothing extreme like a pure sativa. She will approximately double in size upon onset of flower, depending on environmental conditions (light spectrum and intensity, temperature, etc.) Flowers are fully purple from the start of flower under any temperatures, no cold needed for her to put on a show! Purple trichomes are common, and in cold her buds can actually go fully black in color! If temperatures are very hot, over 95 degrees, she may show hints of green along with the purples. The buds can be pressed fresh into purple rosin as well and have massive bag appeal.
Medicinally, high THC content up to 24% and moderate CBG content of 1.2% as well as abundant anthocyanin and antioxidants make her very useful for a number of symptoms. Most notable are stress relief, stomach and pain relief, appetite, creative and uplifted mood, help with arthritis and PTSD, and she has a general positive vibration. Her sativa genes invoke a powerful mental high, and her indica dominance gives the additional medical effects we all know and love. This bud has an incredible, unique flavor that comes out best in a joint, vape, or dab and can be described as perfume, grape, heavy, 'purple', skunky and thick

Filling tubs with perlite, water to the top of that. Sit soft pots on top of that. @Space Farm uses this method to grow. Like a wicking system. Trying it myself next round. Use big enough tubs and will las quite a while. Just an idea.

Bought two 27 gallon totes one for a reservoir one incase catastrophe strikes. Have a 3x3 drainpan for under plants with a drain line drilled in the center feeding into the extra 27 gallon tote if the carrots malfunction. Ordered two 8mm bulkhead adapters to prepare the tote. Going to have about 22 or 23 gallons to get 9 plants through 12 days. Watched a shitload of YouTube. As ready to set it up as I can be. Theoretically know what I have to do. Kits not here until Monday though.

Didnt get full kit yet but ready otherwise. Drain pan under plants and piped to tote underneath. Reservoir plumbed and shelving "tower" complete to achieve adequate fall. Really high but one less shelf and I'm under 3 feet of fall. Have bungees holding everything together.
If I ever want to use this regularly I need one of those hanging storage shelves they make for garages.
