Black Bubba
Black Bubba
Also known as: Bubba Black
Overview
The cultivar crosses Bubba Kush and Black Russia genetics, produced by Northern California growers CSI: Humbold. Black Bubba is an indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain with high THC levels that help relieve pain, anxiety, and depression. It's best for evening use. These indica-typical buds are densely packed, with leaves that curl tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves themselves are a dark mossy green and sometimes, as with parent strain The Black, phenotypes of Black Bubba can show off flashes of dark blue or purple in their leaves. These latter colours come about when anthocyanin pigments in the strain's genetics are stimulated by cold weather in the growing process. Translucent white trichomes cap off these already-vivid flowers, giving them an icy appearance and a very sticky texture. Users describe Black Bubba as a deeply relaxing strain that reduces cerebral chatter and relieves muscle tension and chronic pain. As a potent indica, Black Bubba is best for evening use when the workload is low, so users can ease into the high and let the rest of the world fade into the background.

Growing Information
It flowers in 7-9 weeks and yields 8-12 oz. Garden-grown Black Bubba typically flowers anywhere between the first to the third week of October with each plant producing 12 ounces of trichome-coated goodness. Black Bubba yields 8-12 oz/ m2 indoors and 12 ounces per plant outdoors. Black Bubba is not a tall plant. In fact, it has no problem being placed in indoor spaces less than 3 feet in height. Provided, of course, it is assured with adequate lighting and great air ventilation. This makes it a great choice for both home and garden growing since the Indica-leaning hybrid is quite sturdy too. While it does save space, the herb tends to grow wide and bushy. As such, aspiring growers may want to bend, trim, and prune their plant. The former will keep the plant short while the last two will ensure nutrients are delivered to healthier budding sites and leaves. Difficulty level is beginner-friendly. However, exposing it to colder temperatures once it hits the flowering stage will trigger its exotic colors.
