How do you grow Star Killer?
Star Killer is considered a moderately challenging strain to grow, requiring experienced cultivation skills. The strain has a flowering time of 60-70 days (8-10 weeks) and grows bushier than typical OG varieties. Indoor plants typically reach 4-5 feet in height, while outdoor plants remain similarly compact. Indoor yields range from 400-500g/m² (12-16 oz/m²), while outdoor yields can reach 500-550g (17-20 oz) per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean climates with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and prefers lower humidity levels (40-50%) during flowering to prevent mold. Star Killer does not tolerate high temperatures or high pH levels well, requiring careful environmental control. The plant develops beautiful purple coloration in the buds during the final weeks of flowering and produces heavy trichome coverage, making it excellent for concentrate production. Support structures are often needed for the heavy colas.
