Bubbashine
Bubbashine
Also known as: Bubba Shine, B-Shine
Overview
Bubbashine is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by the renowned Bodhi Seeds as a cross between the legendary Bubba Kush and DJ Short's Blue Moonshine. This strain emerged during the late 2000s to early 2010s breeding wave that aimed to integrate the sedative, coffee-and-cocoa depth of Bubba Kush with the candied berry punch and exceptional resin density of Blue Moonshine. The result is a cultivar prized for its dense, crystalline flowers and deeply relaxing body effects.
Bubbashine exhibits visually striking characteristics with dense, tightly packed buds displaying forest green coloration accented by vibrant hues of purple, particularly pronounced under cooler temperatures. The strain features abundant trichome coverage, often reaching 70-80% on premium buds, giving it a frosty, crystalline appearance that signals its potency. Small orange pistils weave through the dense clusters, creating an appealing contrast. The strain's aroma profile blends sweet and earthy notes with hints of fruit and spice, while the flavor delivers a complex bouquet of cocoa, coffee, and blueberry syrup, often described as dessert-like with buttery kushy blueberry muffin characteristics.

Growing Information
Bubbashine is considered suitable for both beginner and experienced growers, offering easy cultivation with cooperative growth characteristics. The strain exhibits a compact, short-to-medium stature typical of indica-dominant hybrids with minimal flowering stretch. Indoor flowering time averages 8-9 weeks, while outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in mid to late October in suitable climates. Indoor yields range from 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce up to 20 ounces (approximately 567 grams) per plant. The strain thrives in both hydroponic and high-quality soil systems, preferring warm conditions with proper airflow and humidity control. Training techniques like LST and ScrOG can increase yields by 25-30%. Plants require regular pruning and defoliation to prevent mold due to dense bud structure. pH should be maintained between 6.0-7.0 for optimal nutrient uptake.
