Lockdown
Lockdown Strain Overview
Lockdown is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that gained popularity during the early 2020s, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene, with some sources suggesting it was developed as a response to the social isolation periods that characterized that era. Breeders reportedly sought to create a strain that would provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation for extended indoor periods, resulting in this balanced hybrid.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds are typically medium to large in size and maintain a compact structure, with leaves that curl slightly inward. When properly cured, the flowers have a firm yet slightly spongy texture that breaks apart easily.
Lockdown is noted for its complex aromatic profile that evolves through different stages of consumption. The initial scent when breaking apart the buds reveals earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of diesel. Upon grinding, more nuanced citrus and pine undertones become apparent. The flavor profile follows a similar progression, with an initial earthy taste on inhalation that gives way to citrus and herbal notes on the exhale, leaving a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Lockdown Strain Growing Information
Lockdown is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
