Purple Star Killer is appropriate for beginners to practice their cannabis cultivation skills on. However, some experience or understanding would be beneficial to get the best outcomes. It is a medium-sized marijuana strain that will fit into average-size grow cabinets and tents. The plant matures with a bushy Christmas tree-like form, developing one apical cola and a couple of smaller ones around the lateral branches. True to the sturdy nature of Indica strains, its limbs are strong enough to support the weight of the broad leaves and numerous flowering sites.
Because Purple Star Killer is on the bushy side, frequent pruning and trimming are vital. It is possible to increase the yield and quality of the final harvest by removing non-essential vegetation from the plant. The weed’s lower and inner foliage also achieves better air circulation because of the fewer branches and leaves, which avoids an accumulation of excess moisture. Mold and mildew growth can be halted in this manner.
An abundant harvest of orange-haired nuggets covered with shimmery trichomes may be expected if Purple Star Killer is appropriately cared for. To increase the bag appeal of the buds, expose the plant to cold nighttime temperatures in the last two weeks of the fruiting cycle. The change will give the leaves and blooms a deep plum tint, thanks to the anthocyanins in its system, which the strain got from Purple Kush. Neither the flavor nor the THC strength is affected by the aesthetic enhancement.
The choice of a growing medium comes down to personal preference.Many expert cannabis growers favor hydroponics. In addition to being able to manage pH and EC levels quickly, it gives growers more control over feeding and nutrition. Rapid growth is also made possible by delivering nutrients directly to the roots rather than through the dirt.
On the other hand, organic soil offers a distinct benefit over conventional potting soil and hydroponics when cultivating an aromatic strain like Purple Star Killer and planning to extract concentrates. Microorganisms advantageous to the plant’s terpene profile may be found in abundance in this micro-ecosystem. The terpenes in the buds give them their distinct aroma and flavor, but they may also be beneficial to your health because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. In addition, they help strengthen the plants’ defenses.
When using the Sea of Green (SOG) technique, the yield may be increased no matter what type of growth media is employed. Small areas can be made more efficient by growing many Purple Star Killers at once. However, maintain the conditions within optimal, or pathogens could proliferate. The RH level should be kept at 40 to 50 percent, and the temperature should be around 20 and 27 degrees Celsius (69 and 80 degrees F). 450 grams (16 ounces) of THC per square meter is possible with the combination of ideal growing conditions and the SOG method. When it comes to flowering time, this feminized strain’s 8 to 10 weeks is comparable to many other Indica-dominant strains.
Purple Star Killer may be grown outside by those who live in dry, warm, and sunny regions. As long as the circumstances are ideal, one cannabis plant may produce 500 grams of sticky buds. For crops grown outside, October is the best time to harvest. This provides ample time for the buds to dry and cure before the winter break.
