RFK
Also known as: Robert F. Kennedy, RFK OG
RFK Strain Overview
RFK, also known as Robert F. Kennedy or RFK OG, is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily through word-of-mouth and underground cultivation circles rather than widespread commercial distribution. The strain's name references the American political figure Robert F. Kennedy, though the exact reason for this naming remains undocumented. Its genetic origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it emerged from California's cannabis culture in the early 2000s, possibly as a phenotype selection from existing OG Kush varieties. The strain has maintained a cult following among certain growers and consumers who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive terpene profile.
RFK plants typically display characteristics common to OG Kush genetics, featuring dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward the indica side despite its hybrid classification. The flowers often exhibit deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining fuel-like undertones with earthy and citrus notes that become more pronounced upon curing. While not as commercially prevalent as some mainstream strains, RFK has maintained consistency among growers who have preserved its genetics over multiple generations.
Notable features of RFK include its balanced effect profile that provides both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. The strain's relatively high THC content, typically ranging from 18% to 24%, contributes to its potency while maintaining approachable effects for experienced consumers. RFK's terpene profile shows dominance of myrcene and limonene, which likely contribute to its reported effects and flavor characteristics. The strain remains somewhat rare in commercial markets but continues to be cultivated by enthusiasts who value its reliable performance and distinctive qualities.

RFK Strain Growing Information
RFK is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. RFK prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Plants tend to reach medium height, staying manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
