Overview
Born Killer, also known as Natural Born Killer or NBK, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) created by Illuminati Seeds through crossing True OG and Pestilence. This strain has rapidly gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's development represents years of careful breeding and refinement, focusing on creating a cultivar with robust performance and exceptional therapeutic characteristics. Born Killer showcases a fascinating genetic lineage that combines the legendary OG Kush heritage of True OG with the powerful indica genetics of Pestilence, which itself is a cross of Abusive OG and West Coast Dawg.

Growing Information
Born Killer is considered relatively easy to grow and is popular among both experienced and novice cultivators for its uncomplicated nature. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering time of approximately 9-10 weeks (63-70 days). Indoor growers often prefer soil or hydroponic systems, with the Screen of Green (SCROG) method being particularly effective for managing its dense, bushy growth pattern and maximizing yield. The plant exhibits vigorous growth with low maintenance requirements and will flourish in warm, sunny Mediterranean-style climates when grown outdoors. Cultivators report that the buds possess compact formation that resists breakage, ensuring resin content is preserved. The strain is known for producing heavy, low-hanging buds that remain visually appealing even under challenging environmental conditions.
