How to grow Obama Kush
Taste
Seb's take
OG Kush and Afghani behind a 70% indica hybrid that has built its reputation the old-fashioned way — by word of mouth rather than competition silverware. Berry sweetness rides over earthy depth with a pine finish; the high opens with a light cerebral lift before settling into a relaxed, substantial 21% THC calm. No landslide, just steady support.
Where it comes from
OG Kush crossed with Afghani, which is to say American fame married to Hindu Kush ballast, a 70% indica hybrid that leans on the older parent for its steadiness. Growers Choice make no claims to competition silverware here, and the record is candid on the point: no major awards. Its standing has been built the slower, more durable way, by word of mouth among growers and evening smokers who value a strain doing the same thing twice. The name invites a joke; the plant, sensibly, declines to make one.
Nose & flavour
Berry sweetness sits on top, layered over an earthy depth, with a pine-leaning finish drawing it to a close. The smoke is described as smooth and full, nothing jagged about it. A rounded, unhurried nose that reads more comfortable than loud, which suits a strain that made its name on consistency rather than spectacle. Familiar and easy, in the best sense of both words.
The high
The experience opens with a light cerebral lift, enough to keep the headspace positive rather than sleepy at the outset, before settling toward relaxation. At 21% THC the effect feels substantial without tipping into excess, uplifted and happy at the front, calm at the back. No landslide, then, just steady, well-mannered support through the evening.
Growing it
A photoperiod plant on a 70% indica frame, finishing flower across 60 to 70 days. Indoor yields sit near 397 g/m², honest rather than record-breaking, and fitting for a strain that has never traded on spectacle. A modest 1% CBD accompanies the 21% THC. Height is not given in the record, so judge her by temperament: steady, consistent, the sort growers return to because they know what the jar will hold. No surprises, which is rather the point.
