The story of Bubba Kush
Bubba Kush traces to 1990s Los Angeles, where Matt "Bubba" Berger grew an OG Kush pollinated by an unknown indica - widely believed to be a Northern Lights selection from New Orleans. The standout clone circulated hand to hand as "Bubba," became "Bubba Kush" by the late 90s, and went on to shape modern indica breeding more than almost any strain since. It is clone-only heritage cannabis: no breeder packs, just decades of cuttings from the original.

Growing Bubba Kush
An 8 to 10 week flower with short, chunky plants and dense resin-coated buds. Hardiness is a Bubba trait - it forgives grower error better than most elite indicas. Moderate yields, exceptional resin, and a hashy aroma that intensifies in the cure.
How to consume Bubba Kush
A genuine nightcap: one or two puffs after dinner and the evening winds down on schedule. Vaping at low temperatures brings out the coffee-chocolate sweetness. New users should plan to be where they are sleeping - Bubba does not do "just one more errand."
Bubba Kush vs similar strains
Compared to Pink Kush, Bubba Kush is less sweet and more coffee-forward. Against Master Kush, it is heavier and shorter-acting. And versus Platinum OG, Bubba trades the OG fuel for hash and coffee - calmer, quieter, heavier.
