Bubba Island Kush
Also known as: Bubba Island OG, Bubba Island
Overview
Bubba Island Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion through crossing (Granddaddy Purple × OG Kush) with a pre-'98 Bubba Kush reverted male. This strain represents premium North American Kush genetics and is part of Dutch Passion's USA Special seed collection. The strain was specifically bred to combine the best traits of its legendary parent strains, creating a powerful and resinous variety known for its exceptional quality and fast flowering time. Bubba Island Kush exhibits a compact, stocky growth structure typical of Afghan hash plants, with dark-colored leaves that can range from deep purple to almost black during the flowering phase. The buds are dense, compact, and heavily coated with sparkling trichomes, giving them an old-school Afghan hash plant appearance. This strain is particularly valued by concentrate makers due to its extremely high resin production and unique terpene profile, making it ideal for producing hash, BHO, wax, and shatter. The plant typically reaches an average height of one meter indoors and is known for being relatively easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.

Growing Information
Bubba Island Kush is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. It has a fast flowering time of 7-8 weeks, making it one of the quickest photoperiod strains available. The plant grows well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields of 350-450g/m² and outdoor yields of 500-750g per plant under optimal conditions. It thrives in SOG (Sea of Green) setups due to its compact structure and short internodes. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG. Cold night temperatures enhance the development of its characteristic dark purple to black coloration. For outdoor cultivation, it benefits from dry climates and protection from excessive moisture to prevent mold. The plant requires standard nutrients and is not particularly fussy about feeding schedules, though organic growing methods are recommended for optimal flavor development.
