Star Killer Strain Review – Bonza Blog
The force is strong among many cannabis enthusiasts. As such, it should come as no surprise that many strains and hybrids are named after some of the cult classic’s iconic characters and objects. Among the most popular are Skywalker OG, Darth Vader OG, Deathstar OG, and Yoda OG.
Star Killer joins this prestigious list. In Star Wars lore, the character is a man taken in by the formidable Darth Vader as an apprentice after being orphaned. As his name suggests, he is strong enough to put out the light of a star.
In the cannabis industry, the same holds true for Star Killer with its commanding potency. Deemed as the ultimate tool against the dark forces of everyday life, it annihilates stress from the body and minds of its daily users. A testament to its out-of-this-world power is the many awards it has won at the THC Championship and Cannabis Cup from years 2014 to 2016. Not to mention, it was once the grand champion of the 2015 Rooster Colorado Cup.

Growing Star Killer
Star Killer produces dense, pinecone-shaped buds that are dusted with a thick layer of resin, a definite sign of its impressive potency. As it matures, streaks of amber pistils scatter like a blaze over the flower. The stunning sight is well-complemented by light that makes its trichomes twinkle against a backdrop of purple hues.

Its density can be attributed to its Indica-leaning genes which also provide it with a hardy stalk. It may need to be pruned often though. After all, its branchy structure can inhibit the light and air circulation around the lower nodes. Cutting away dead parts of the plant also improves nutrient distribution.
In spite of its stockiness, Star Killer remains a sensitive plant. For this reason, growers may opt to place it in a stable, controllable environment using either hydroponics or soil as a medium. Complemented by the Sea of Green method, it will yield 350 to 450 grams per square meter after 9 to 10 weeks of flowering.
