Bubba Kush

As far as I remember the Bubba Kush was always described as coffee smelling, it's a clone old enough to have a well established description and the consensus about her is coffee as primary smell.
For a few years I lived close to a small shop who was torrifying coffee beans, the smell of the roasting beans was so close to cannabis, it was really confusing. That's how I discovered some cannabis can smell eerily like coffee.

I love smells and value my nostrils so i've had an extra good sniff of the Abusive x Bubba plant @I Care

There is, I suppose, a skittles smell ever so slightly, but i'd say it is more lime than skittles.

But the Abusive x Bubba kush smells oniony coffee with whiskey and ends with a greasy batter smell similar to the old seethingly hot burn the roof of your mouth of macdonalds apple pies. It has a slight lime smell througout but it's more whiskey lime than straight lime.

It's also a leafy bud and even after defoliating the larger leaves it puts out more fat leaves amongst the buds which occasionally need trimming but bending her over helps a lot.

I've just had a little smoke of her resiny leaves and it's lovely. Proper warm rushy pain relief, nicely cerebral too.

I couldn’t have described it as tropical skittles the first times I got those little bags as mid and as endo. But when I grew it outdoor last year, I knew for sure that it was really the bubba kush. Between the smell, mild flavor, smooth smoke and the uplifting/energetic high, I knew it was the one and it was too late by the time I realized what I had.


@I Care , the Bubba you describe sounds unusual for sure. I hope you find it again.

It’s exactly as I experienced it when I was buying weed in Florida I’m the 2000s. It is not anything like the usual for the smell, mild flavor, smooth smoke and the energetic high. Like an elixir, not like dope but like a speedy high.

Those leaves look like bubba dominant, that might be worthy of being a bubba cut. Have you preserved that?

Ok.....Icare , I`m sorry but what you described as Bubba is in NO way anywhere close to the Pre-98 OR the Katsu cut from back in the day.....That OD pic you showed is definitely Indica dominant and I`m sure you enjoyed it from your description .....but.....

True clone only Bubba Kush is narcotic and if you hit it too hard in a bong pipe you`ll get the head spins and need a recovery period before hittin another one I assure you....

I acquired the pre-98 cut and put it in my rotations with lil over 1 1/4 per light compared to every other strain goin at minimum 2 lbs per and even though it was drop dead quality dope , it wouldn`t pay the bills and was culled......Head stash yeah , but production dope not so much.......lastly.....

There`s nothin uplifting and speedy about true clone only Bubba , nor from the old head Katsu cut that was watered down to me in flavor and smell but yield was a lil better......and hey.....FTR.....

I`ve got old heads on the left coast that STILL hold Bubba and sell rooted cuts at a few monthly farmers markets mostly to help med patients out since Bubba is STRAIGHT UP pain meds with no speedy qualities at all and will kick your ass and put you to sleep....bet on it..........

If I come off too strong on this I apologize but there`s so many hybrids on this green earth that so many people have used known cultivar names cuz their shit looks kinda like it is pitiful so.....

Just my 2 cents from all those yrs of doin this shit.....No offense intended....

Peace.....DHF.....

×2 on what Fred just said. Folks been growing Bubba for decades at this point. We know what she is. And it's NOT what you found in the 2 seeds you popped a few years ago.

I've got a cut (pre98) rooting for me down in Florida right now. She be in house again by the end of the month. I'll make sure she makes the rounds on icmag again. After a few months of veg of course ahahaha

I always liked to grow a real big one and flower her every other run or so for headstash.

Bottom coast bubba is bubba. No offense taken. I got OG hybrid now I smoked all my bubba and not arguing with what I found. Now I have to be stupid high (OG) instead of high as fuck(bubba). Again I feel like a jackass cause the best way to have expressed this was if I could get everyone a rooter of it.

if you ask me you just expressed your own faults that support my idea that left coast production mentality is what fucked everything up. Price drop with 2 per light then nobody pay the bills cause price drop and then all there is to smoke is proce drop high yield they don’t get stoned or high no mo dro in the wind no mo. Buncha high yielders tho.

Aside from our coinciding grievances that we are here now. we are very different people. Growing weed isn’t my job. I am not a farmer I don’t profit. I’m a smoker been spending my hard earned money for decades and there was a time where quality was fucked and that was when the left cost went recreational and my hard earned money was buying garbage for an intolerably long time. I’m glad I’m on the right coast, if it ain’t right it just ain’t right and finally got away from pharmaceutical tyranny.

Nobody ever said bubba kush was a high yielder; nobody ever. Afgan smells and highs are attempts to produce/select high yield, just a guess.

Theres a good party going on here. Dont think I’m trying to play god or something, we are opposites sides of continent so I recognize some differences and separation on expectation and opinions.

No matter what coast you are on, even country you are in. Bubba kush has been the same. There's a difference of opinion because you don't have the same experience as everyone else which means you shouldn't be contributing to something you are not familiar with.

Icare......I live in the Hell of the dirty south and have been retired from growin dope for yrs , BUT......I ASSURE you that droppin Bubba from my perpetual rotations for higher yielding strains in NO way had anything to do with less quality since quality dictates price....period.....

As Jetlife stated above.....Please don`t make comments on shit you have no clue about .....You don`t know me.....

Peace.....DHF......

I found something rare in the bubba kush and I found something not so rare in the long leaf seedling. I didn’t even pop these seeds, they were given to me and I don’t even know where they got the seeds from to be honest cause everyone is still stuck on sociopath cause the rest of the US hasnt caught up yet. Looked like no other plant I’ve ever seen before and only had 5 leafers which is unusual recessive that is obviously not in the cuts going around. I’m just saying that this is the recessive that makes it that amazing and the tropical skittles small leaf is what makes bubba much bubba kush. I’m a fucking deal I haven’t grown and smoked so much quality weed that I forgot what my first bubba kushes were like before I tried the bkdc.

The long leaf is going to be some dominant trait carried from another plant and I’m just putting out there some sort of educational lesson that there’s another bubba out there. And if your looking to select a bubba seedling for any reason the small leaf plant is really good.


Its not your cut or whatever but I prolly wasn’t smoking either of yall cut unless you were also on the south side. Hell on earth is new info to me but I haven’t had the money to go back home. I could see modern out-of-towners generating undesirable atmosphere. Made rich by their home state Tax Refugees are pressure on my friends back south. Also the base living wage requires 4 times the income that was needed only 10 years ago. I guess I understand why you think it’s hell, but there nothing as heavenly as standing on a fishing pier with a bucket of live shrimp.

Im not going to pretend to know anything other than the better bubba ouch out of the seeds I was given was the small leaf bubba and that one is fucking special and after it dried I remembered that was what bubba was like and never knew how to describe the smell cause I didn’t make the tropical skittles connection then. It’s as I remember it, and idk maybe the thing that made it so special is that little bit of mango that makes it a tropical skittles To me and I remember all the hydro use to be uplifting. I started finding brain fart type puffage when the cali packs started popping up after the millennial decade. It was always an uplifting high; shit was not cheap but it was never full retardation like your saying until after that turn of the 10s.

Ill leave this alon and stop feeling sorry for myself the lose the best bubba I had since the last bubba I had before cali packs. It’s time for me to move on bacause I just got lucky to find an exceptional pheno from the bubba fems that my someone else was popping last year.

First off and lastly.....Bubba Kush is a "CLONE ONLY" cultivar and what you`ve dealt with is "phenotypes" of Bubba Kush either hit with colloidal silver or STS to REVERSE the original female and force her to "spit" male parts to then in turn pollinate the pistils and get Bubba "traits" in the resulting seeds , but NOT the ORIGINAL clone ONLY plant that`s been around for decades and STILL in clone only form to this day.....

Hell , a respected member here has Bubba in his rotations as we speak in grow diaries , but if you want the reasonably well worked "sub-species" S-1`s , and other phenotypes you can thank Verdant Green for workin her across the pond for yrs as well , and I`m sure there are seeds everywhere claiming to be Bubba so yeah......

Please lick your wounds and put more time into actually obtaining the "cut" to truly know what Bubba is , or just live with your shortcomings on why you can`t or don`t have the original now.....Speculation and interpretation have no place where a "clone only" cultivar is concerned.....Verdant Green is your best bet for as close to the original as possible IMHO .....

Peace.....DHF.....
