Bubba Kush

[little-soldier]

Have you guys seen the Instagram BS raging about bubba kush repos?
You cannot remake bubba since the plant called bubba is long gone
We don’t know what bubba was even though some claim it was an NL
I thin the purple one was the VIPK.
They grow and look eerily similar

WRONG. i grew the VIPK. decent but FAR FAR FAR from an actual kush strain. We used to have the purple kush around here over a decade ago and when i smoked the hyped up VIPK, I was depressed for weeks. Had my cousin smoke it and he smoked a shit load of purple kush back then and first thing he said about the VIPK is THAT AINT KUSH. Same goes for all other kush strains around here in canada like the coffee cut. What a load of shit going around now a days. The real kush is gone or hogged like a biatch.

How about the distinct Bubba flavor?

You make a good point ( but apart from that your post is unnecessarily abrasive - folks are perfectly entitled to be geeky about terps or structure or whatever matters to them)
The taste of Bubba was the fist thing that got my attention when i smoked it, and back then most people in the UK still smoked cannabis mixed with tobacco (because we had nearly all hash imported and no weed for many years and that was the habit that most older UK smokers were in )
Weed has to have a strong distinctive taste to cut through when smoked with tobacco.. and this influenced what became popular in UK back then. Cheese and blues for example tasted fantastic with baccy. I had received the Bubba clone along with a few others that, before i smoked them, i found much more exciting.. so it was a real moment of surprise and realization the fist time i rolled with bubba. Hashy Coffee/mocha hint of incense flavour with the most glorious horseradish/victory V cough sweets flavour in the sinuses on exhale.
Since that moment when the Bubba 'clicked' with me , ive come to love it for a few other reasons.. but yeah. Taste was the start of it.

Who gives a shit if they "grow eerily similar". How about the distinct Bubba flavor?


Does anyone care about the actual fucking substance of the smoke?

The med patient doesn't give a shit how it grows, why the fuck do you.

None of you actually give a shit. Playing make believe games. Talking about terpinolene and dumb shit. You'd document the actual flavor of the strain if any of this shit had real value to you.


Bunch of weirdos with fake obsessions smh.


You'd all be happy smoking a ground up bag of dog shit if the right Xanax dealer signed off on it.

how do I document flavor? All I can describe, and I don’t realize them is that it’s like smelling a bag of tropical skittles… Idk why ppl think it’s coffee funk flavor, that’s the OG or Gods Gift Afghani that everyone thinks is bubba cause they were way too many miles away. That is the afghan, that was what I first experience in Afgoo. Nobody wants to listen to someone who actually cares. You see my handle. y’all don’t realize. The reason nobody else who actually knows is arguing with you anymore is because you’re way too far from the truth. There is only one bubba and if you’re getting hybrid leaf structures you’re missing the point and calling afgan bubba and it’s not afghan. Beat that shit into your heads, tropical skittles. If you don’t got that then youre seeking after an afghan trait. Good afghan is the good shit too but if you’re getting coffee overpowering your guilt you’re missing the mark. Bubba is not dominant so even if you find it and you’re trying to breed it you’re going to need to listen to Tom on that maybe 5% at best on your selections. I don’t know how many white label bull seeds went out there but I got one and fkd it up like a fktard And had the fucking original bubba pheno on my front porch last year.

I might be wasting my time on some of the people currently in this thread but if someone looks up bubba much hopefully they see what the fuck I’m saying and know I’m not some kind of imaginative.

Yall need to read my intro if y’all wanna understand what the fuck is really going on in the universe.

Ive only tried the pre98 and the Katsu cuts and i would say both of them primarily have the Coffee/mocha type smell and flavour. These terps/flavour seems widely accepted as bubba.
Can you try and explain plainly, in fewer words, what Bubba you are talking about that smells / tastes like tropical skittles and where/when you think it comes from.
thanks,

All the info is here, you need the leaves.

that’s how you’ll know you‘ve got it.

 

[Mtn. Nectar]

That aint bubba kush lol that doesn't really prove anything, nice try tho... Bubba doesn't smell like tropical Skittles, pretty sure we can all agree on that

 

[elanius]

elanius i lost bubba #3 but #1 is pretty good, kind of sweet vanilla coffee bubblegum. i like it ! thanks again mate !
i might do a little selecta if i find some space.

unfortunate you lost the #3, it was the one closest to original Bubba K. in smell and flavor, while being even more potent. But it is interesting how the #1 changed its aroma after the plant matured, the seedplant smelled like sprite, kind of a lime zesty kushy smell. The next time I grew her out, the sprite smell was lurking in the background, while the classic bubba notes dominated. I did not get any bubble gum though.

No one ever in the history of anyone in the know has ever described bubba kush as tropical skittles.

I've been smoking and moving bubba packs since 2006 and I have to say that nope. It's never changed. Ever. That is a really wild take.

Bubba kush
SoCal Master Kush
LA Affie

These all have a very similar terpene profile and they are all pretty powerful in the potency department.

How are we going to change something that's been defined for over 20 years.

 

[elanius]

yeah the recent discussion was quite something

 

[I Care]

Nobody was describing bubba when bubba was bubba. They were the outlaws in the underground.

 

[I Care]

Oh and there was only one kinda skittle then anyway.

 

[exoticrobotic]

I remember, was it 2006? something like that, bubba first came available in Europe via seed via Captain Kryptonite in his Abusive x Bubba cross.

After many years in a fridge, here she is.

More Abusive or Bubba? Don't ask me, i've no idea

 

[I Care]

Only kinda weed I ever got tasted like coffee was shipped with coffee grounds!

that one i posted smells of coffee, dunno about the taste though.

 

[exoticrobotic]

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.

Definitely leaning to the abusive side with the flower structure but those colors are all bubba.

OG does goes purple on the leaves at end of flower but that's definitely bubba influence on that pheno.

Thanks for replying about the plant @JetLife175

What are the differences in high and smells between the Abusive and Bubba if you have time to answer?

You dont really hear about Abusive kush anymore. Is it realated to Bubba/OGs?

Abusive OG was an early OG cutting brought to the community by "Abusive" hence the name.

It did the rounds in the late 2000s early 2010s. It's a classic OG profile with less lemon from what I remember. It was really gassy and piney. The buds had a more "sativa" look to them. Those tops were the dead give away that it had abusive influence. Been on the hunt for this one to complete my baseball card collection of OGs for quite some time. This one and that sac #1 and #3 are the ones that you just can't seem to find these days.

 

[VerdantGreen]

Yes the abusive was the first OG in the UK afaik. Very potent. Has it but lost it.
I do have a few packs of Abusive S1s that i traded from Crazy Monk Seeds who used to be on seedbay here.
