Bubba Kush From The CannaVerse (Merkaba)

Camera Used: Olympus X-42
Name: Bubba Kush (I also included a picture of some even better Pre 87 Bubba Kush that I’ll elaborate on a bit, but the main review is on the
Bubba Kush.)
From: Bubba Kush:The CannaVerse (
Dispensary – San Pedro) / Pre 87:
Delta-9 (
Dispensary –
Torrance)
Grade: A- The first hit I took hard a harshness that quite frankly I’m just sick of coming across in killer kine bud, but all the other tokes have been incredible since… odd.
Type: Indica; I’ve heard people say that
Bubba Kush is a pure
Indica and I would have to say I believe it, or else it’s pretty damn close.
Genetics: I’ve heard a couple different variations but most enthusiasts come to the
Bubblegum (f) x
Master Kush (m) equation. Though to be honest all pre-1990 (meaning before the pre-’98 even, for example Pre 87 Bubba), looks like its got some
Sativa in it based on the slenderness and pointy spear shapes of the nugs but I could be wrong; I’m just speculating. I generally side with the common perception but who really knows ‘cept the breeders.
Price: Bubba Kush – $20/gram, $60/8th ( I got a split 8th for $48 @ 20% off as a 1st time patient deal). Pre 87 Bubba – $18gram, $55/8th (!)
Looks: This is definitely some damn near close to pure
Indica if I’ve ever seen it locally. Dense bract formation along the stems, but individual flowers are rather round and popcorn shaped. Dark forest green foliage, but really light olive green kushy hued flowers. Cinnamon orange pistils, glistening and glittering trichomes (always a good & welcome sign) – with a production that’s just thru the roof. Really, just killer bag appeal to the real cannasuer who knows what he or she is looking for in herb.
Smell: A tiny bit under cured; meaning a smidgen more of cure time would’ve brought the smell out thru the roof – but a classic musty dry woodsy bubblegummy
kush scent. The Pre 87 that I included smelled the same with the proper cure, except it had a REALLY interesting sour twist you often smell on strains such as
Green Crack and/ or
Blue Dream. Amazing; both of them.
Taste: Pretty
kushy on the inhale, and the exhale is just literally a barrage of flavors ranging from bubblegum to
spice to hashish all thrown at you in a matter of seconds. Leaves a
sour stench in the air that always indicates that some bomb herb has been blazed quite recently. Sometime though, it’s a little hard to pin down or maybe its just me… but a better cure is always welcome.
Buzz Type: Totally classic knock-out, drag-down
couch lock stone. Typical of a strain of this caliber, these Bubba(s) put me down no problem, and even helped me chow down a bit. I wouldn’t be hitting this stuff during the daytime if you can help it! Had to cut up a taster for this review though I didn’t really want to… But who am I kidding? I don’t mind at all.
Buzz Length: I would say
medium… I only smoke it at night before I go to sleep really, so I don’t keep track of long the high actually lasts. As long as it’s more than an hour and half, I’d consider it
medium (high tolerance). Probably not the longest during the day, but it depends on your individual tolerance.
Overall: Bubba is a strain that I’ve searched for the right batches of since before I’ve had my MMJ access, and also throughout, and I must say its difficult for me to come up on a great batch that is dried & cured properly- that I barely need to know too much about before I know its straight grade
A dank. Always, batches seem to be dried and/or cured way too little. The two phenos I’ve included here are both what I consider to be
A grade Bubbas, with the "87" coming in first FOR SURE. –
