Obama Kush: The Strain with a Presidential Name
Obama Kush plants grow into a short and stocky, resin covered bush. With bright greens being washed out by the white crystals this plant looks pale but upon closer inspection the way the light hits the resin makes it appear this way. When harvested the nugs are dense and completely coated in sticky crystals. The bright green fades away and orange hairs become predominant. Breaking open these nuggs will fill the air with an earthy, almost piney scent that is as welcoming as it is strong. While the strain hasn’t won any major awards since its inception, it will win the hearts and minds of growers and cannabis fans internationally. One hit of this dank bud and you will want to add it to your repertoire permanently. If you’re interested in growing healthy Obama Kush cannabis plants, we’re here to help you achieve the best yield possible. For example, it’s best to have at least moderate cultivation experience. Best handled by intermediate growers with some growing experience, Obama can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it will be in your grow roto regularly.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Obama Kush plants perform really well in a warmer, dryer atmosphere where they get lots of air circulation as well as ample light. Growing outdoors you will need to closely monitor temperature and humidity levels to ensure it doesn’t get too cold or too moist for these plants. Obama Kush is a hands on strain so you will need to roll up your sleeves and pay close attention to ensure that you grow plants with the high THC content and yields you desire. Spacing is key to the success of this grow because Obama Kush plants are bushier than they are tall.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Obama Kush plants grow well indoors and outdoors. Outdoors the plants require a little more attention because of changing climates. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 65-85 degrees fahrenheit. During the vegetative stage, providing an 18 hours on and 6 hours off light cycle is ideal. You will want to dial it back to a 12/12 light cycle during the flowering stage.
- Moisture control: Humidity levels around 60% are perfect for this plant through the duration of the grow. Less humidity is okay but any more than 60% and you run the risk of finding mold and mildew on your buds.
- Training Techniques: Low-stress training, pruning and Screen of Green training techniques are clutch with the Obama Kush strain. Adjusting the canopy to illicit light exposure to the entire plant will help the yields and help the plant grow evenly.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest
- Flowering Time: With indoor grows you can expect the Obama Kush strain to harvest after a short flowering stage of 60-70 days. If growing outdoors, expect to harvest sometime in October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant.
Dominant Terpenes in Obama Kush: Hail to the Chief
The Obama Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is Caryophyllene, while pinene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Features spicy notes in both flavor and aroma.
- Pinene: Secondary Terpene– An aromatic compound, help with pain and anxiety.
- Limonene: Found in Citrus – Found in citrus rinds, this terpene has the ability to help with stress as well as anxiety.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Obama Kush:
Cannabinoids play an important role in Obama seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That happy, relaxed and uplifted feeling you get when using the Obama Kush strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 21%, the THC in the Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get with Obama Kush.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Obama Kush are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, pain and even stress. The CBD in the Obama Kush strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.

This is presidential-level fantastic! The high is nothing short of presidential – both calming and invigorating, ideal for unwinding after a long day. The flavor is deep and earthy, with hints of pine. It’s like getting a pep talk from Obama himself: you feel energized and at peace. A+ strain.
