Obama Kush
Also known as: Obama OG, Obama OG Kush
Overview
Obama Kush is a cannabis strain named after the 44th President of the United States that was bred by Superior Genetics in Michigan. This indica-dominant hybrid is created from crossing Afghani and OG Kush genetics, with some sources noting the inclusion of a skunk select mother in the lineage. The strain exhibits medium to high THC levels ranging from 14-21%, delivering potent effects despite its moderate THC content. Obama Kush features distinctive aromatic characteristics with complex flavors including grape, pine, earthy tones, and sage, accompanied by a pleasant and pungent aroma featuring pine and subtle sweetness. Visually, the strain displays spear-shaped buds with vibrant colors including neon green, light purple, and red hues, complemented by frosty trichomes and orange to reddish hairs. Obama Kush is notable for its unique two-pronged high that begins with uplifting cerebral effects and light euphoria before transitioning to physical relaxation and soporific effects. The strain's balanced nature provides both physical relaxation and mental stimulation, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal users, though it's particularly valued for its ability to promote deep relaxation without overwhelming tiredness.

Growing Information
Obama Kush has a relatively quick flowering time of 7-9 weeks (approximately 60-65 days) and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The plant exhibits a very bushy structure with medium to fast vegetative growth, requiring careful trimming and defoliation by experienced growers. To optimize growth, maintain dry conditions and ensure proper airflow through the canopy to prevent mold, with indoor yields of 450-600g/m² and outdoor yields up to 600g per plant. The strain thrives particularly well in sunny, warm climates with temperatures between 65-80°F and can reach heights of 5-8 feet in both indoor and outdoor settings. Obama Kush demonstrates strong resistance to pests and mold and handles various training techniques like LST, HST, and defoliation well, making it suitable for growers of all experience levels.
