Katsu Bubba Kush
Katsu Bubba Kush
Also known as: Katsu Bubba
Overview
Katsu Bubba Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that represents a rare phenotype of the infamous Bubba Kush strain. This selected phenotype originated from the Bubba Kush gene pool but was singled out for its exceptional traits—especially terpene expression and resin density—and maintained through cloning. The strain emerged as part of the broader Bubba Kush family that became legendary in the cannabis community as one of the early Kush strains that started Kushmania in the 2000's.
Katsu Bubba Kush is characterized by its dense round olive green nugs with a super thick frosty blanket of white crystal trichomes and sticky syrupy resin covering each and every inch. The strain displays medium green coloration with hues of orange and produces golf-ball sized nuggets of chocolate, kushy goodness. This phenotype is particularly prized for its heavy, soothing body effects and deep, dessert-like terpene profile, amplifying the classic Bubba experience with thick trichomes, chocolate-coffee aromatics, and a tranquil, weighted finish. The strain requires 63-70 days of flowering for the full narcotic effect and the strongest terpene profile, making it a coveted selection among cannabis connoisseurs seeking premium indica effects.

Growing Information
Katsu Bubba Kush is relatively easy to grow and offers a generous yield. With proper care, this strain flourishes both indoors and outdoors, producing dense and resinous buds. The strain follows typical Bubba Kush growing patterns with short and stocky plants that grow below 30 inches tall and produce robust buds. Flowering time ranges from approximately 63-70 days (9-10 weeks), though plants are caked with frost by 55 days but benefit from the full 70 days to reach maximum potency. Due to its short stature, it makes for an optimal strain for hydroponic cultivators. Plants prefer temperatures between 68°F and 80°F, and growers should manage humidity carefully as the dense Afghani-style buds increase risk for bud rot in humid environments. A long cure of 4-8 weeks is essential to fully develop its coffee and chocolate notes.
