Bubba Kush is a very common cannabis strain, enjoying huge popularity among both medical and recreational users from all walks of like. Its rich history is documented in diverse publications, so some enthusiasts should already know how it came to become of the world’s all-time favourite cannabis strain. Although the foundation for this strain was already laid early in the 1990s, its development lasted until 1997 because it was accidentally created by hobby growers instead of intentionally bred by a professional company.
How the Bubba Kush Came About
Back in 1990, along with some of his friends, a Florida student nicknamed “Bubba” experimented with various genetics, making attempts to create his own breed with plants they have grown from unknown bag seeds. Without knowing what it was, they called these plants “kush.” By year 1997, while living in Los Angeles, Bubba was growing some of these plants along with his breeding line made over the years which he named after his own nickname “Bubba.” Without him realizing, a hermaphrodite Kush pollinated the Bubba, accidentally giving birth to “Bubba Kush.”
The new Bubba Kush seeds were then grown out, with the resulting plants proving to be an awesome and rare lucky punch that every breeder dreams of having. In a short while, it rose to prominence in California before spreading across the United States and to the rest of the world. The Bubba Kush is perhaps the best indica that was ever around. It is very strong and has quite a physical effect. Plus, its taste is legendary fuel with coffee.
Main Characteristics of Bubba Kush
A strong and bushy plant, Bubba Kush is easy to grow. It flowers fast and has heavy yields, delivering thick compact buds teeming with resin. This is a great choice for both notices and experienced growers. Its effect is a classic indica and lasts for several hours: strong, sedative and relaxing, perfect for medical and unwinding purposes. It contains 18 percent THC and 0.22 percent CBD. The scent and flavor of the Bubba Kush Strains are unique, a blend of strong fuel aroma with hints of coffee, spices, earth and citrus fruits.
Following a flowering time of about 65 days, growers can already expect indoor yields of up to 500 g/m2. It matures by October under natural light, and it is suitable for outdoor cultivation. The strain performs best in climates with dry temperature and can yield up to 800 grams per plant. When they are exposed to a decline of about 10 degrees Celsius between day and night temperatures, the plant tends to show very beautiful purple and lavender hues.
Medical Benefits of Bubba Kush
Mental disorders can get relief from Bubba Kush. This relaxing and calming strain is amazingly capable of healing stress, depression, anxiety and paranoia. Also, it is a top choice for those looking for support in managing the side effects of treatments from serious illness like HIV/AIDS and cancer. And it is not because of its high CBD content; Bubba Kush is excellent in the relief of pain, nausea and other symptoms that are usually associated with these serious health conditions. It is also known for its ability to help those who have insomnia and eating disorders.
Although Bubba Kush will not cure an illness from the inside out, it will make it easier to handle the daily pains and challenges that go with these medical issues. If you are dealing with something that is more serious, you can increase your dose of Bubba Kush and with a consumption amount a little above the average.
