What Strain Is Bubba Kush?

Bubba Kush is an indica-dominant strain with highly sedating and relaxing effects. Break apart its buds to release a pleasant aroma of sweet, earthy, and hashy flavors with chocolate and coffee undertones.

Its THC levels are between 15 and 22 percent.

Bubba Kush Strain Lineage

Bubba Kush’s origins are unknown, but close sources agree that Bubba Kush was popularized around 1996 when an OG Kush plant was pollinated with an unknown indica. Matt ‘Bubba’ Berger claims that a crop of Northern Lights growing in the same room pollinated his Afghan Kush strain.

The accidental cross between Northern Lights and a Kush variety produced the first set of Bubba Kush seeds. The resulting indica hybrid seeds saw success as a commercial strain and found celebrity fans such as Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Cypress Hill.
