Starfighter Strain

Starfighter is an Indica-dominant hybrid bred by Alien Genetics and mixes genetics from Tahoe Alien and Lemon Alien Dawg. It originated in California and in 2007 and has been a breeder’s favorite ever since. Starfighter’s potency is quite the spectacle with a sparkling coat of star-like trichomes.

Medical marijuana patients use this strain for the therapeutic benefits of its THC content, plus it’s sedative and analgesic effects. Patients suffering from anxiety and tension will find the Starfighter strain most relaxing, easing away symptoms of chronic pain, stress, and depression.

The adverse effects of Starfighter may be slight headaches and dry mouth. The effects of this strain are felt quickly, leaving patients feeling happy, giggly, and optimistic. It’s an excellent alternative to coffee or energy drinks and great for daytime use.

The THC level in Starfighter is up to 18-20%, and the CBD level measures at 0.1%. The aroma of Starfighter, like that of its parent Lemon Alien Dawg, is sweet and citrusy. The buds are small and compact with tons of orange pistils on them, covered in glistening trichomes.

Starfighter requires about 9 weeks of flowering time and needs a moderate temperature. To cultivate this strain indoors, growers should be aware that it can finish flowering anywhere between 8-9 weeks, depending on the size of the plant. Outdoor planting requires a summer harvest and the plants tend to grow between 12-16 feet.
