Pre98 Bubba Kush & Katsu's Bubba Kush Comparison Thread

[VerdantGreen]

very nice musta, its fantastic to see a good selection of the plants, especially the females.
(i only got one girl when i grew these out and it was more to the narrow leaf end of the variation)

it was the males from these katsu F2s that i crossed with my pre-98 bubba cut to start my bubba line.

thanks for posting,

We are currently running some "regular" Bubba Kush F2 plants from the seedline Katsu Bluebird did with some Bubba pollen he received after he got the green Bubba cut off GreenCrackMan for $500... there are 4-5 beautiful males and 9 sturdy females so far.

Looking forward to find our very own particular Bubba keepers and make some seeds too in a similar way Huesos did with his Peyote Purple line. I'm looking for different traits other than the classic coffee/earthy terpenes, so hopefully we'll find some interesting medicinal plants.

jumjum... i hold my eyes on you...

I Start first for a half year to breed with my Peyote Male, cause much tests and others... they are now in flower

No. I generally only determine a good yielder vs a poor yielder with how many half gallon jars it fills.

I will say I have some large yielding bubba that was probably well over 6 oz's but it took a years worth of veg, it was LST'd and topped probably 100 times and was flowered under 1k.

Over all it is a decent yielder, buds are very dense and resinous but its not generally a large yielding plant unless you have put in some serious veg time.

It's not horrible like GSC but it wont break any records either.

It grows like a snail you pretty much have to have it the size you want it to finish in veg because it barely stretches at all when put into flower.

Bubba doesn't take that long to veg out at all. Nor does it need to be topped excessively but definitely does need topping here and there like all other plants do to make a bush.

Has Huge buds too top to bottom! Pre-98 that is!

So there's no flavour profile yet in order to distinguish the two?

You are the proud owner of the katsu cut. It smells like ammonia and is great for pain relief. It yields a little better than the pre 98. The pre 98 has smaller leaves, does not turn purple and smells like coffee and kush as opposed to cat piss.

not anymore he isn't. people convinced him he didn't have bubba and he tossed it.

I dunno what plant lost tribe is referring to but my p98 doesn't do any of that. it's a slow veg, super slow, doesn't really need topping to branch out, and topping does little benefit to make more tops. and hardly any stretch in flower I would say less than 100%(double). i'm trying to reveg my last run after the mom died. but if it doesn't work i'm not worried. this is more of a novelty plant to me more than anything. something you stick in the back corner of the tent for head stash. more faster better strains out there worth keeping over this one.

My pre-98 bubba cut would be the last cut i ever let go, and they'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
it does take longer to veg but thats no problem if you have a separate veg area and you schedule it properly, plenty of root space and good soil speeds it up considerably and some LST to get multiple tops. scrogs quite well and that also increases the yield.

Sounds like you don't have pre98. Are you in the PNW perhaps?
The bubba cut I got from there is claimed to be the original bubba. But the guys we got it from really dont know. First they claimed it was the original, then a year or so ago they claimed it was pre98, then when questioned they got no idea.

We saved some male pollen from Verdants cross. Should be very interesting to see what comes out from that cross.

Always looking great man.

Love me some pre 98 bubba K!

Just found an S1 from VG that I like more than the cut it has a much stronger fragrance and a bit stronger stone that is killer creeper IMHO.

 

[VerdantGreen]

thats great to hear LostTribe! the Pre-98 S1s have been a real success.

...

yes i'm hoping to pop some of the (Katsu Bubba x Bubba) x pre98 Bubba myself this summer, after a bit of a break from growing. It'll probably need some sorting but there should be some gems coming from that mix of genetics. Some promising results from the first test grows.

yes it is interesting... try it out and keep us updated^^

I toke few Peyote x OG crosses(that i have done in summer, small batch) down and can say atm that they got Stronger ... need to bring few other beans in earth and test them also^^

(Katsu Bubba x Bubba) x pre98 Bubba , think i need this her for my Peyote boy... or to find something spl

 

[Critter]

Anyone heard of the Pre-93 cut?
I pretty sure the source i heard about her from knows whats what,
has all 3, 98,katsu,and 93.
Wonder what 93 looks like or how its diff from the others.

 

[Bubbamaniac]

Does anybody's pre-98 Bubba double branch? By that I mean at the leaf petiole, and the main stalk where the branches come out of the stalk does a secondary branch grow underneath the primary ones?

 

[Verethragna]

Apparently I've had both and think the p98 is not as big a yielder as the Katsu green pheno, but believe them to be very similar in potency and taste, blessings...

It's funny u brought that cut up if I wasn't getting it last year I wouldn't think it existed ..it's also called pre 90 but I was getting it listed at as a old cut They had no name and just called Bubba when I asked if it was the 98 or Katsu he said its older than both but they just called it Bubba

But I was getting some from a dude in central Cali ..when grown outdoors the nugs get real dense indoor it looks like a OG almost in bud structure ..I've had a few different runs so I had a chance to compare ..it's like Katsu but more flavor and way more potent ..the aroma is incense mixed with a real strong sweet smell it's intoxicating ..the hairs are red or like a deep orange it gets really frosty but not that thick like the katsu a more thin lighter layer ..pound for pound this cut is the most potent one to me done right ..youre going to sleep every joint comes on heavy and just builds until u fall asleep well the OD ..indoor is just couch lock

This are some keepers from Katsu's Bluebird Bubba Kush F2 seedline... when he received the green Bubba cut from Green Crack Man he later received pollen from another member, produced some seeds and this are the offspring. This is a regular seedline, I had like 8 full firm males that looked outstanding, I'm keeping 2 or 3 of them around.

There were several mixed green and dark purple phenos. Some more chemmy/skunky while others more fruity. Most were quite stretchy and low production plants. This were my two favourites from 3 interesting plants i've found among all the 16, they had the best structure, resin yield and were banana free.

This one totally looks like Peyote Purple... now I understand where those PP expressions came from!

This is my keeper, nicknamed "Fire cut" because of those beautiful red/orange leaves, she's the sweetest one from all. Never smoked any of them yet but so far they look interesting.

Anyone heard of the Pre-93 cut?

I've hear that too but I'm pretty sure its just random bullshit from someone who started the rumour in order to make others believe they really have something different or more valuable that no one else has. The Cannabusiness u know?

There's just one legit Bubba Kush cut anyway as far as I know, the one that originated at Matt Berger's room by that accidental pollination and was later renamed the 98 cut... the rest should be simply S1s or seedlines based on them (Mint, Orgnkid's green cut, Purple Bubba, Peyote Purple, Katsu's seedline, etc). Matt said the original Bubba clone (and old Northern Lights from NorCal) was lost, otherwise that 93 cut could be indeed this original Bubba cut?

By the way, why does people keep calling the green cut Katsu's clone when Katsu actually bought the cut from GreenCrack Man for $500, who sourced it from Orgnkid before? So more like Orgnkid's green cut rather than Katsu's Bubba, isn't it? Besides Katsu Bluebird was the generous member who spread the cut all over the scene.

Did Orgnkid receive the cut from someone else or did he found it among the S1s he produced from the original Bubba Kush clone only?

Peace.

Katsu's quote:

Seriously, though, I've read so many f***ing threads on purple, mint, pre2001 - let me tell you this: The Bubba Kush I bought is hands down the best weed I've ever smoked. Period. If you grow organic, feed her some bat guano in flower, let her go 9-10 weeks with a good flush, and give her a 2 week cure, it's absolutely unbelievable.

I gave this cut to no less than 50 people with the requirement that they hand it out to at least 5 of their friends with similar conditions. The idea was to get this herb out there.

That being said, I'm smoked at least 6-7 different samples of Bubba over the years from friends, cups, etc., and it was never as good as when I grew it (I just followed GreenCrackMan's instructions). I think most people tend to take her early because she looks ready at 7 weeks. I also think the organics and bat guano make a big difference in the flavor, because I didn't like the taste nearly as much when I went hydro.

Enjoy the shit out of that herb. I know I did. By the way, not sure what my problem is but I tried every OG cut (other than the Abusive one, which I'll grow out this summer) and Bubba was a harder hitting stonier weed in every instance. Maybe it's just me, but Bubba's the bomb.

As a sidenote, my buddy Weedzilla's gone through just about every elite and puts the GCM Bubba cut at the top of the list, too.

 

[silverhazefiend]

I don't wanna stir any shit or go back and fourth maybe the Bubba did come from a seed of the 98 but there totally diff the 98 and Katsu have diff flavors Like one is straight up mocha and the other is just sweet ..oh and the one in talking about does not get purple Ever Katsu and 98 go purple or get hues of purple ..

If it is a a cross or bag seed it's still fire ..
