Death Bubba
Death Bubba
Also known as: D Bubba, Bubba Death Kush
Overview
Death Bubba is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by Matteo Suleyman of Sea to Sky Cannabis in Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 2010s. This powerful strain emerged from crossing two legendary indica-dominant cultivars: Death Star and Bubba Kush, resulting in a potent hybrid that has become one of Canada's most celebrated cannabis strains. The strain earned its intimidating name not from any dangerous properties, but from its ability to induce an almost "death-like" deep sleep, making it highly sought after for its sedative qualities.
Death Bubba displays stunning visual characteristics typical of premium BC bud. The medium-sized buds showcase dark forest green coloration with rich purple undertones and vibrant orange pistils threading throughout. Each nug is completely covered in a thick, frosty layer of sandy white trichomes that give the buds a crystal-coated, diamond-like appearance. The dense, resinous coating not only contributes to the strain's potency but also makes the buds notably sticky to the touch. The strain's complex terpene profile, dominated by myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, produces a pungent aroma combining musky earthiness with sharp pine notes and subtle citrus undertones, creating a distinctive fragrance that can easily fill a room.

Growing Information
Death Bubba is moderately challenging to cultivate and best suited for experienced growers. The strain requires controlled environmental conditions with careful attention to lighting, temperature (70-80°F vegetative, slightly cooler flowering), and humidity levels (40-60% during vegetative stage, gradually decreasing during flowering). Plants remain moderately tall due to their indica heritage and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation is preferred for better environmental control and odor management. The flowering period typically spans 8-9 weeks, with some sources reporting 55-65 days. Indoor yields range from 10-12 ounces per square meter (350-400g/m²), while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 12 ounces per plant. Outdoor harvest time usually occurs in mid-October. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and low-stress training to maximize yields and manage the dense foliage.
