Hey all, long story short I’m a medical patient who got dependant on using a single pheno of bubba kush for a long time. I've run out and now I'm f*cked. No clones or mother plant are alive. Other phenos so far are causing negative side effects, destroying my ability to function.

My grower has been growing s1s from verdant green and CSI humboldts bubba kush/pre98 bubba - which was where the first pheno came from. The first grow of CSI didn't go according to plan and we only came out with 7 stunted phenos, none of which resembled the pheno i used before. Both breeders said the strains/s1s breed relatively true/uniform and I should find something similar.

I have one small dose of the pheno left - does anyone know if it can be tested for cannabinoids/terps/thc etc. and then some how its effects replicated by means of using isolates? (thc/cbg/cbn/cbd etc. isolates, and terpenes instead of the plant). How those %s would convert into amounts used for isolates- i have no idea. I'm just spit balling out of desperation. It might also be too expensive.

I could search dispensaries in my city that carry the real pre98 bubba (better yet from Verdant Greens/CSI seeds) but id need to inspect/smell the buds closely and they prob don't want me doing that. There are some other hangups here: with there being different bubba breeders, variations, and inauthentic bubbas out there in dispensaries (some dont disclose or even know the breeder), it would be difficult and expensive to find what I need specifically (I have made attempts at this in the past). I believe dispensaries often lump in different phenos together in their offering which would also make matters more confusing.

I'm at a loss, not sure what to do and trying to dig myself out of this - its too daunting/overwhelming. Next harvest wont be for 4-5 months and my grower might have issues again. I might also not find a similar pheno in that batch. Maybe I should take the last dose then quit using? (which would come with its own huge set of issues, but maybe its better than putting myself through the negative effects of trying phenos that dont work).

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems finding what you want. Everything changes sooner or later and if we don't change with the times we will have problems. Please keep an open mind friend, I hope you find something that helps.

Thanks, I know it sounds nuts...but it couldn't be more real. With said pheno, I'm able to function normally and its crazy how night and day the others are in terms of their effects on me (same strain and breeder). Perhaps my brain chemistry or nervous system receives cannabis effects in a strange way. I'm surprised that I've never heard anyone else bring this up.

Are you looking for a relaxing indica? Part of it might be psychological and part might be tolerance. After you've smoked a strain your body will adjust and most of those negative effects you're talking about will go away. At least that's how it is for me. Don't give up yet.
