Lineage of Bubba Kush

Bubba Kush's exact genetic origin is unknown. Few trace the cannabis strain back to the Hindu Kush mountains, particularly the OG Kush strain, and to a debated indica parent. One story says a breeder from Los Angeles crossed an OG Kush plant with a Northern Lights variety obtained in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. The unknown parent strain, which is now lost, has since been known as "Bubba."

The smaller, dense buds are heavily coated in white trichomes and resin can permeate the flower. Flower is pungent and can emit cocoa and skunky aromas.

Whatever the strain's history really is, users choose Bubba Kush for its experience, not its genetics. Since 1996, Bubba Kush seeds are only available as clones, but that doesn't stop dispensaries and growers from spinning off the strain.
