What is the Lincoln Kush strain?
Lincoln Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Lincoln Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily in the northeastern United States, particularly in the New England region. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it was developed by local breeders in Massachusetts or surrounding areas. Its name appears to reference both the historical figure Abraham Lincoln and the Kush lineage that forms its genetic foundation, though the specific connection to Lincoln is not clearly documented in breeding records. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as part of the expanding medical and recreational cannabis markets in states that had recently legalized cannabis for various uses.
Visually, Lincoln Kush typically produces dense, chunky buds with a structure characteristic of Kush varieties. The flowers often display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the dense floral clusters. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a sticky texture when properly cured. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle undertones of diesel, creating a complex sensory experience that many users find appealing.
Lincoln Kush is known for its potent effects that lean heavily toward the indica side of the spectrum. Users typically describe the experience as beginning with a cerebral uplift that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among those seeking relief from various conditions while maintaining some mental clarity during the initial stages of the experience. Its balanced terpene profile contributes to both its therapeutic potential and recreational appeal, making it a versatile option for different types of consumers. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream Kush varieties, Lincoln Kush has developed a dedicated following in regions where it is available.

How do you grow Lincoln Kush?
Lincoln Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors that can enhance resin production. Lincoln Kush plants tend to remain relatively compact, usually reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure and improve yields. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity levels, and growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. Proper nutrient management is important, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
