Bubba Kush Strain Review
Contents
Bubba Kush has become a favourite among marijuana connoisseurs and novices alike all over the world. Its popularity stems from its wonderful tranquilizing effects which persons look for whether they are using marijuana recreationally or medically. Its relaxing effects can be felt throughout the body as muscles loosen from head to toe. Its effect on the mind is even more wonderful as you feel like you are in a dream-like state where stress no longer exists. Instead, feelings of euphoria and happiness will take over, lifting your mood.
Taste & look
In addition to its relaxing qualities, it has a nice aroma that hints of sweet hashish, coffee and chocolate. There is also a earthy aroma and taste while the buds have glistening trichromes that make it very sticky. Its stickiness and sweet aroma have earned it the nick-name “Bubblegum”. Its buds are quite bulky in built and have a forest green or sometimes purple colour.
Origin & genetics
While the Bubba strain’s bulky buds could mistake the plant for being of Afghani origin, its actual origin is uncertain. The person who bred the strain said that Bubba came into being some time after 1996 as a result of pollination between the popular Kush strain and an unidentified indica strain which was eventually referred to as “Bubba”. Since then it has grown tremendously in popularity. As an indica dominant strain, it has an indica-sativa ratio of on average 95:5, while its THC content is a whopping 27%! Because of its high THC content new weed smokers should be careful of how much they have at first. It is best to test the waters to see how much you can handle without “overdosing” yourself.
Unpleasant effects
While the Bubba does have euphoric and uplifting effects, it also has some effects that you may find undesirable. It will make you sleepy and hungry.
