pre98 bubba aka purple bubba could be an S1 or bagseed of Katsu/Orgnkid/Green Bubba or Original/93 Bubba. afaik the latter two bubba cuts predate pre98 bubba.
As far as I know Pre98 predates the Green Bubba, isn't it? So I think it's actually the opposite, being the Green, Mint and others bagseeds or S1s from the original Pre98.
According to what most people seems to agree, the so called Pre98 should be the first Bubba Kush cut appearing into the scene.
I think this thread can be summed up as...A guy in LA had a Bubba cut that he's claimed to have gotten in '97 on a bunch of different forums for the last decade and when he gave the cut out to some folks they took it on themselves to completely change the dates...there never was a '93 attached to this particular Bubba cut when TooHigh was the only one that had it. :slap:
Bubba 93 sounds to me like propaganda from someone who's trying to make others think he has something no one else does. On the other hand, Matt Berger said the Original Bubba was lost.
NL or not, Bubba Kush definitely came from an ancient afghanica hashplant... just like the Deep Chunk, Master Kush and even that Pure Kush cut that looks so much like the Bubbas too.
