Starfighter IBL
Also known as: Starfighter Inbred Line, Flip Side Starfighter IBL, Starfighter HD Hydro Cut
Starfighter IBL Strain Overview
Starfighter IBL is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (approximately 60% indica, 40% sativa) developed by Flip Side Genetics as a reproduction of the legendary Starfighter genetics originally created by Alien Genetics. Flip Side, based in Denver, Colorado, originally from Chicago and established in the Rocky Mountains in 2016, has recreated this vintage strain through their "HD Hydro Cut" version. The original Starfighter was bred by crossing Alien Tahoe OG and Lemon Alien Dawg, creating a sweetly aromatic, uplifting hybrid distinguished by its sparkling coat of star-like trichomes. While the original Starfighter genetics have been discontinued and are extremely rare - with reports of breeders paying up to $20,000 for original seeds, Flip Side's IBL version aims to preserve the essential characteristics of this legendary cultivar. The strain exhibits the characteristic dense, medium-sized buds with forest green coloration, rust-colored pistils, and a heavy coating of resinous trichomes that give it its distinctive "starfighter" appearance.
