Growing Information
Purple Star Killer has a relatively short growing period of 8-10 weeks and is adaptable to various climates, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Purple Star Killer is a relatively easy strain to grow, making it suitable for growers with different levels of experience. With a typical height range of 1 to 4 feet, Purple Star Killer's compact stature makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Expect generous yields, as outdoor cultivators can anticipate up to 500g per plant, while indoor growers can achieve around 450g/m2. Purple Star Killer prefers a temperate climate, with daytime temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and slightly cooler temperatures at night. For indoor cultivation, Purple Star Killer benefits from high-intensity lighting, such as LED grow lights or HPS lamps. Thanks to its prestigious Purple Kush parentage, this strain carries strong genetic markers for producing vibrant colors. To bring them out, exposing the plant to cooler nighttime temperatures (a drop of 10-15°F or 5-8°C) during the final weeks of flowering is the key to unlocking a spectacular display of deep purples and rich lavenders. The Sea of Green (SOG) technique is recommended for maximizing yields.
