The Obama, Obama Kush, The O,etc.

[merkaba]

Ok so, I have been working with this plant for a good while now and STILL do not have a clue how to maximize her yield. She is from Oregon and it's been long enough that I am sure more folks have had a chance to work with her. I have done her huge, topped,not topped. She def. has the huge bubba kush leaves and the popcorn buds thing going on. Though she looks super indica she def. stretches like crazy in flower with a main stem at the terminus bigger than a grown mans finger even when only a few feet tall. I had a few scraggly ones I tossed in once that ended up yielding well enough, thought of just doing smaller ones and packing them in. Others seem to have done well with large shrubs, 4 under a light style. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this plant is phenomenal in all ways just have yet to figure out what gets her to ring the bell.

Cheers

What are the genetics for Oregon's version of Obama Kush? In So Cal ours is Hawgsbreath x OG. Haven't seen it around for a couple years though.

Pics of past grows and/or a brief description of current growing environment might help

Why anybody would name a plant after that @#$% is beyond me.
He has lied to and screwed over this community time and time again.

Why not call it "Eric Holder OG"
or
"Please make all my friends criminals OG."

We are our own worst enemies.

Maybe if the genetics were Kenyan x Indonesian x Hawaiian it would make sense, but I think the odds that's what it is are almost zero.

First step to maximize that plant it to rename it.

and the growers who made these crosses were suppose to know this 5 years ago? That's some stellar foresight

the uber frosty bbkush was the obama in 08 in the bay fwiw

 

[green_thumb...]

I knew he was a disaster from the start. No one listened and called me a kook.

Now everything I said before is coming true mainly his new army made of foreign soldiers and is better funded than the cruuent us military. But whatever.

I would have the urge to whipe my ass with the plant if I got ahold of it.

On another note if its really hawgsbreath thats a great strain and a heavy yielder around these parts. I would simply rename it if it was worth the real estate.

Just picked this up and curious about it. Def looks like bubba in veg. TalktoSamson ran it in light sep this season and it looks great:

This is the Oregon cut, unsure of lineage.

You know, I usually don't mind the ramblings about off topic issues on ICMAG, but seriously, I don't give a fuck about politics or this guy vs that guy bullshit.Every time I ask about this strain I get the same bs. If you think some man in The White House is going to save you, you are a lost cause, they are all corrupt all crooked. This is about a strain, I did not name that I would like some help with. It is a phenomenal cross I don't want to lose, so ....any info on that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Sorry folks, I didn't mean to come across like a Polly PissyPants. However, we all know that Obama became a luck-warm president at best and didn't hold up a lot of his campaign promises, but this is par for the course and I didn't name the strain, just wanting some info to finesse her into perfection.

This thread laden with ignorance, childish attacks, and a lack of class.

Back on topic....it grows exactly like my Bubba Kush (I guess it's a Bubba cross) with the one difference... It stretches like mad when flipped. For example, a 16-18" cutting untopped will finish out at about 4 ft. 36-38". It has the huge bubba fan leaves that need to be pruned away, makes the same sort of rock hard frosted to no end nugs, turns almost black purple with bright orange hairs if temps get low enough. Hashy, hashy and more hashy.

I've never grown Bubba Kush, but have you ever checked out medicropper on youtube. He uploads entire grows and grows all sorts of strains. He grew a bunch of UW Purple Kush in this last couple grows.

Tell us how you have tried to improve her yield.

lol do ur self a favor.. and change the name.. lol. I figure Obama kush.. must be some Bullshit Strain from bagseed .. who really knows the parents right? lol.. and ontop of it.. looks the part but no good coming from the bud lol.

 

[HarleyJammer]

Let's take Nevilles Haze and rename it Barry Soetoro Kush

 

[merkaba]

I didn't name the strain jackass. It's Bubba Kush x Mendo Purple. It's amazing herb.

And what would you guys be whining about if Romney or McCain were office, let me rephrase that, wtf are you going to be doing when the next president IS a Right Wing nut job? Who FUCKING CARES who the president is? Do I give a shit what some man says I can or can not do? Does some document that says this is or is not legal have any bearing on my choices and a free individual? No. Zero. I make my choices based on my own intellect and heart I do not prescribe to some man made construct of what is right or wrong, so leave the politics out of it and quit being sheep. Thanks much
