History of Bubba

[meizzwang]

very entertaining story, thanks for sharing Welderdan! I'd like to challenge anyone to actually find the story and history of a famous cannabis drug cultivar that contains enough detail that anyone can re-create the original strain using the original parents. Dimes to dime bags, you won't find one.

Hell I always thought it was Bubblegum x Afghani,

What was the stuff in Oregon that tasted just like bubblegum coffee? They called it bubba kush, always the same. Had that invigorating candy skunk twinge you get from melting a specific type of plastic. Lol the world of a day laborer. Who came first, bubba, or his bubba kush? Lol. Cannabis legend is full of raised hands.

In 02, I was introduced to a cut of Bubba that when exhaled brought to mind images of hash and coffee and leather.
I really liked it then, and still do now.
The cut is still available locally.
I live a few miles away from sliver lake.
If I had to choose only one cut to get by with,
it would be bubba.

Lol there may not be enough details n shit but the way I look at it is "if there's a will there's a way" shit.. Mr. Riot has remade seeds that replicate the specific strain he was researching on he has a radioshow he features in on sound cloud that he states he's seen ogkb phenos and gsc phenos out of some crosses it's best to reflect from the wise if ya wanna ascend ya knowledge and experience. If you don't have anything to contribute please get out of this thread not looking for negative comments only contributions from members with experience pertaining to this thread.. bye..

Emperortaima: it's very easy to misinterpret words, so allow me to clarify the spirit of my post: the secrets and details behind how many of these amazing strains were made usually die with the breeder. Imagine what breeders now and in the future can create had that knowledge been passed to them. If you have a will, you will find a way, but you're also reinventing the wheel when it has already been engineered....

The name is misleading, isn't it? It appears there's no bubblegum in the genes whatsoever. GHS has a fem. version of bubba kush, which is probably a selfed hybrid containing the original bubba kush crossed with something else. The seed I had from them hermied, but that's no surprise considering the original bubba kush originated from hermi pollen.



The GHS version of BBK has one of the most unique flavors and smells I've ever come across, can't quite pinpoint it but it's kinda like chemical-like, but in a good way...the smell and flavor isn'tnot black and white like the earthy, coffee-like flavors in the OG line, but what I can say is it tastes exactly as it smells...it's wonderful! It's very prone to rotting though, and when crossed with herijuana, only about 25% of the offspring display the bubba kush terpenes.

Thanks for clearing the air I see what you're saying now and have nothing negative to respond. And imo the ghs version is far from it just like their trainwreck it's fake not authentic on the other hand their chemdog is real as stated by pbud mike

Bubba , Nor cal bag seed found by mattB , Bought to JD in LA with the TK ,
Master kush Afghani1 x hindu x NL , Mater and bubba are Virtually identical
ie possibly master S1 Bubba ,
Phylos , Bubba Master NL hindu Ghani1 all link directly ,
Phylos Cookies , durban/CherryP Bubba OG all link directly

Trolling o adding info to a subject that has been over a million times ? you tell me

Very true, the SoCal Master Kush cut looks very similar to the Bubba indeed. Sometimes I wonder if the Bubba was really Master Kush bagseeds rather than NorCal Northern Lights.

As far as I know Master Kush aka Pot of Gold doesn't have NL on its lineage, isn't it? just Hindu Kush (Pakistan?) x Skunk #1.

There is also a Pure Kush cut around that also looks very similar to both the Master Kush and the Bubba, not sure if it's the LA PK or Sugenite's one. I've always thought they were all closely related but I'm yet to source a legit Pure Kush cut in order to run her side by side with the Bubbas:

I had LAPK since '07 as well as Pre 98. Unfortunately lost the LAPK during a move across the country 2 years ago and still mourn that loss. She was my absolute fav. Pre 98, Master Kush and LAPK all have clear similarities and share some of the same genetics. The main difference between LAPK and bubba is the buds tend to be a little wider than tall, they sharply spread out in a rounded V from the base to the middle. Like a squat, wide spade. They have a lighter gray-violet-sage green sheen and Pre 98 is darker. PK has almost no smell in flower except a tiny hint of peanut butter and jarred cherry. That lack of strong aroma always reminded me of NL and had me wondering if there was a connection. PK is shorter and wider than Pre 98 and the bud leaves are also lighter. During the cure the PK goes through phases of change in aroma. From peanut butter, to chocolate coffee, to a smoother milder chocolate ice cream. When the chocolate ice cream turns to that tell tale charcoal/crayola/kush smell you know it's near peak curing. It takes 2-3 months of cure for PK to reach it's true potential and is perhaps why many people still don't have her, cause they just don't know how good she gets! Nonetheless, both are amazing in their own right and I'm glad I at least still have the Pre 98!

i think the LAPK and LVPK are same cut LA Purple Kush Las Vegas Purple Kush, all disgusted above are leaning ghani#1big time , funny no matter if you hit bubba with something or put bubba on something all you get is Bubba Doms from off spring .... That Ghani has some serious Dominate genes .... self it and you will find clues to parents ....

thanks Hr, I was going to post that this is something that phylos should have already figured out

This is an old thread I know and I didnt want to start a new one for such an old strain. There are Youtube vids of Josh D and a few Adam Dunn podcasts with Josh, Bubba and even Orgkid and they all tell the same story and seemingly verified by plenty on the OG site. I am not taking an absolute side but Im pretty much in the camp of the Josh D, Bubba and Ogkid. They claim Ghost was an original cut of ORIGINAL (OG) Kush gifted to the member Ghost and he kept it and passed it to Orgkid but that much is out there. All the other claims really dont have much in the way of legs from my perspective. Know what they say about opinions though. Seems Orgkid has recently been providing clones of Ghost which Josh and Bubba both say IS the ORIGINAL cut and Orgkid also has the Bubba he is also supplying to at least one vendor. Recently on the OG site there are several seemingly long standing members vouching for the validity. I have a hard time thinking there is no one holding a real cut of these two considering how loved by many growers they were/are. Im taking a chance and picked up one of each. Gonna be a few months before I can run them but this seems like one of those weed history myths that may actually have some legs.
