The Origins of Bubba Kush
Ever wondered where this legendary strain came from? Bubba Kush has quite the mysterious backstory. It all started in the mid-1990s when a breeder named “Bubba” accidentally crossed an unknown indica strain with OG Kush.
The “unknown” parent is believed to be a Northern Lights phenotype, though nobody knows for sure. What we do know is that this happy accident created one of the most beloved indica strains on the planet.
Bubba Kush Genetic Breakdown
Bubba Kush is predominantly indica – we’re talking about a 80-85% indica and 15-20% sativa split. This heavy indica dominance explains why it hits you with that classic “couch-lock” feeling.
The genetic lineage looks something like this:
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 |
|---|---|
| OG Kush | Unknown Indica (likely Northern Lights) |
Characteristic Traits from Bubba Kush Genetics
The genetic makeup gives Bubba Kush its signature traits. The OG Kush parent brings those earthy, gassy notes, while the mystery indica parent contributes the sweet, almost chocolate-like undertones.
These genetics also explain Bubba Kush’s dense, chunky buds covered in trichomes. The plants typically grow short and bushy with broad leaves – classic indica characteristics.
Phenotype Variations
While the core Bubba Kush genetics remain consistent, you’ll find different phenotypes on the market:
- Pre-98 Bubba Kush: The OG version, considered more potent by purists
- Purple Bubba: A phenotype with purple hues when exposed to cooler temps
- Katsu Bubba: A carefully selected cutting known for its exceptional potency
Each phenotype carries the core Bubba DNA but expresses it in slightly different ways. Think of them as siblings – same parents, different personalities.
