Out of all the famous strains synonymous with cannabis in general, Bubba Kush is one of the most recognisable. Bringing character and a strong punch to every smoke, it has quite a few fans; but it isn't for everyone. Science has taken us far, though, and we're excited to tell you about one of the most quality Bubba Kush descendants available today. It goes by the name of Bubble Kush, and it's more than ready to get you lifted.
GENETICS OF BUBBLE KUSH
Bubble Kush derives from the famous Bubba Kush, but the story doesn't end there. In fact, the name Bubble Kush itself hints at the origins of this strain and its famous ancestor. Specifically, Bubble Kush is a hybrid of OG Kush, another famous member of the Kush cannabis family, and the Indiana-born and Netherlands-developed Bubble Gum. With that royal pedigree, it's easy to see how Bubble Kush has quickly established a strong reputation.

GROWING ATTRIBUTES
Like many indica-dominant cultivars, Bubble Kush grows best at a low density. This allows the plant to fully benefit from the soil's warmth, giving it a bushy appearance in the process. The fully matured plant shows off a brilliant dark green, along with red hairs popping up all around. A magnifying glass gives growers a close-up view of the trichome crystals as they turn from clear to cloudy, with just a touch of amber, as harvest nears. Flowering takes around 8–10 weeks, and with proper care and good conditions, you can expect indoor yields of up to 21.2 oz/m².
If you're growing outside, however, yields may be slightly different depending on climate. This plant does best in dry conditions, while a humid or otherwise wet environment will significantly inhibit growth. This is because the damp weather creates a higher risk of rot or mold forming on the buds.
FLAVOR
With its diverse pedigree, one can also expect the flavor to flaunt some variety as well. The bubble gum notes are the strongest, so this is the strain for you if you're tearing through a package a day like some of us. Bringing an unconventional yet welcome contrast, this strain also pleases with hints of earthiness and pine.
EFFECTS
As referenced above, this strain is indica-heavy (around 80% indica and only 20% sativa). It'll calm you down, but will have you more in a daydream state than half-asleep. Packing a more than decent 19% THC, you can kick back and relax without feeling totally slumped. Bubble Kush may not be the strain to opt for when trying to remain focussed, but it definitely helps get the wheels of creativity turning.
PRAISE FOR BUBBLE KUSH
If you want to know how Bubble Kush will treat you, just ask the people that grow and smoke it! It's earned a 4.5/5 rating on our site out of 139 reviews, and virtually every written review showers it with praise. We can't say it hasn't earned every single accolade.
BUBBLE KUSH AUTOMATIC
While Bubble Kush grows quite easily for a feminized photoperiod strain, some people prefer things to happen automatically (pun intended). Blending Bubble Gum, OG Kush, and Royal Critical Automatic, Bubble Kush Automatic is even cooler than it sounds.
Retaining a 60% indica genetic makeup, the calming effects are there, and the 16% THC content will treat you right, coming with an extra hit of euphoria too. Similar to its feminized counterpart, this strain brings smokers a sweet sensation with a lovely hit of earthiness underneath.
Bubble Kush Automatic stays short, stout, and speedy in the grow-op, racing from germination to harvest in around eight weeks. Plants rarely exceed a metre indoors (reaching up to 54.6 inches outdoors), but can deliver respectable yields of 14.1 oz/m² in good conditions. Individual outdoor plants can produce up to 6 oz.

SUMMARY OF BUBBLE KUSH AND BUBBLE KUSH AUTOMATIC
Both Bubble Kush and Bubble Kush Automatic are perfect strains for a relaxing night in. The former will have you more kicked back and daydreaming, while the latter hits you with a spark of euphoria on top. Both, however, bring a sweet yet slightly earthy taste to the table. You'll get respectable yields either way you go, although the more time-sensitive among us might prefer the automatic version. Regardless, you'll have a whole lot of excellent bud come harvest time!
