Overview
Starkiller is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Rare Dankness, created through crossing Skywalker OG and Rare Dankness #2. With a genetic composition of approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa, this strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community. Starkiller captured attention with its victory at the 2016 Colorado Cannabis Cup for Best Hybrid Flower, establishing itself as a premium cultivar. The strain is known for large lumpy spade-shaped bright forest green nugs with fiery orange hairs and a thick frosty coating of crystal white trichomes. Dense, trichome-covered buds with striking purple hues characterize its appearance, showcasing its indica heritage through a classic OG structure with vibrant purple coloring that emerges among the green. This bud has an aroma of pungent lemon pine and a taste of skunky earthy pine that has a pungent lemon aftertaste upon exhale. The strain's reputation extends beyond recreational use, as it has earned its place in the medical cannabis community due to its powerful therapeutic properties, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking relief from chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and other medical conditions.

Growing Information
Starkiller can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 60-70 days. The strain is a medium to high yielder, making it attractive to cultivators. It does not like high temperatures or high pH levels, requiring growers to have some experience managing environmental conditions. The strain grows bushier than many OG varieties and develops beautiful purple coloration in the buds towards the end of its cycle. Plants tend to be a little stockier than other OG sisters. The strain is known for being big on resin production, making it an ideal choice for extraction artists looking to take advantage of the funky, sweet, lemon candy terpene profile. Growers should maintain stable temperatures and pH levels for optimal results, and the strain responds well to indoor cultivation with controlled environments.
