What is the Star Killer strain?
Star Killer is a mostly indica OG hybrid (roughly 70/30) bred in 2012 by Scott "Moonshine" Reach of Rare Dankness Seeds in Colorado, who pollinated a Skywalker OG clone with his Rare Dankness #2 male. The breeder describes a stocky OG plant with dense, purplish, frosty buds and a sweet, lemon-candy kush taste. Star Killer flowers in about 60 to 70 days, usually tests in the low-to-mid 20s for THC, and took second place for Best Hybrid at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
Ratio from Rare Dankness Seeds' listing on SeedFinder. Some growers find their plants lean even more indica.
Star Killer pairs a sweet, lemon-drop aroma with the earthy kush base of its Skywalker OG mother.

Where does the Star Killer strain come from?
Star Killer comes from Rare Dankness Seeds, where founder Scott "Moonshine" Reach crossed a Skywalker OG clone with his own Rare Dankness #2 male in 2012. The Skywalker OG cut reportedly came from Hartland Farmacy in Denver. Rare Dankness #2 is the breeder's signature stud, made by crossing Rug Burn OG and backcrossing it to its Ghost OG mother, so Star Killer is OG on both sides of the family.
Star Killer placed second for Best Hybrid at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, according to Leafly's list of winners and SeedFinder's breeder page. Weedmaps also lists placings at High Times' 2016 Colorado cup. Dispensaries often sell the same plant as Starkiller or Starkiller OG, and the strain later became a parent for crosses such as Purple Star Killer.
Is Star Killer the same as Starkiller OG?
In most cases, yes: Starkiller, Starkiller OG and Star Killer OG are names for the Rare Dankness cross of Skywalker OG and Rare Dankness #2. Rare Dankness itself sells it as Star Killer. A few other seed companies use the name for their own versions, so the exact plant can differ if the breeder is not Rare Dankness.
Watch the breeder name. Some seed listings sell a Star Killer with different stated genetics. The facts on this page follow the Rare Dankness line, which is the one that earned the strain its reputation.

- Relaxed
- Sleepy
- Euphoric
- Happy
- Calm
The downsides people mention most with Star Killer are cottonmouth, red or dry eyes and heavy sleepiness, and its strength can surprise new users.

How do you grow Star Killer seeds?
Star Killer seeds grow a stocky, moderately demanding OG plant: keep temperatures in check, keep pH from creeping high, train the canopy flat, and flower for about 60 to 70 days.
- Germinate3–7 days
Sprout Star Killer seeds in a warm, moist spot and move seedlings under gentle light once the first leaves open.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks indoors
Top Star Killer and spread its branches so the dense colas get even light. It stays shorter than many OG cousins.
- Flower60–70 days
Star Killer stretches less than a typical OG after the switch to 12/12. Cooler nights late in bloom can bring out purple hues.
- HarvestDay ~65 indoors · October outdoors
Harvest Star Killer when most trichomes are cloudy, with some amber for a heavier effect.
Grow tips for Star Killer
- Keep it cool. The breeder warns that Star Killer does not like high temperatures, so plan good airflow and extraction in summer grows.
- Watch your pH. Rare Dankness also notes that Star Killer reacts badly to high pH. Check runoff regularly and keep it in the normal range for your medium.
- Give dense buds air. Star Killer's tight OG colas can trap moisture, so thin inner growth and keep humidity low in the last weeks.
- Control the smell. The lemon-kush aroma gets strong in late flower. A carbon filter is worth having for indoor Star Killer grows.
- Feminized seeds save space. Every Star Killer feminized seed should grow a female plant, so each spot in the tent can go to a bud-producing plant.

Clean and legit website! My friend recommended me here and compared to my previous site where I used to order seeds, this one’s pretty neat and user friendly. The staff over the phone was polite and helpful and the delivery was right on time. I’m currently in the early weeks of cultivation and this strain is doing fine. I commend this site and this won’t be my last. Thank you.
