Pain Killer
Also known as: Painkiller OG, PK
Pain Killer Strain Overview
Pain Killer is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed specifically for its therapeutic potential. The strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant hybrid OG Kush with the sativa-dominant hybrid Cinderella 99, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the relaxing body effects of OG Kush with the uplifting cerebral stimulation of Cinderella 99. While its exact breeding history is somewhat obscure, Pain Killer emerged in the early 2010s and gained popularity in medical cannabis circles for its reported analgesic properties.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds that are typically dense and resinous, featuring a distinctive appearance with dark green leaves often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Pain Killer's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy and pine notes from its OG Kush lineage with sweet, fruity undertones inherited from Cinderella 99.
Pain Killer is known for its balanced effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its name, which reflects user reports of significant pain-relieving properties. However, it's important to note that this name is descriptive rather than medically validated, and individual experiences with the strain can vary considerably based on dosage, tolerance, and personal biochemistry.

Pain Killer Strain Growing Information
Pain Killer is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to medium height, making them suitable for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Pain Killer responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
