Also known as: McLovin OG
McLovin Strain Overview
McLovin is a hybrid cannabis strain that gained popularity in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding communities. The strain is believed to have been developed on the West Coast of the United States, with some sources suggesting it emerged from California's cannabis culture. The name references the character from the 2007 comedy film 'Superbad,' reflecting the strain's association with recreational enjoyment and social consumption.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds typically have a compact, indica-dominant structure despite the strain's hybrid classification. McLovin is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a complex sensory profile that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, McLovin has maintained a cult following among certain cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's genetics appear to lean slightly toward indica characteristics in both growth patterns and effects, though it maintains enough sativa influence to provide cerebral stimulation alongside physical relaxation. Breeders have noted its relatively stable genetics and consistent performance across different growing environments.

McLovin Strain Growing Information
McLovin 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet) with good lateral branching, making them suitable for SCROG (Screen of Green) training techniques. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from proper pruning to improve airflow and light penetration.
