Platinum Bubba Kush
Platinum Bubba Kush
Also known as: Platinum Bubba, PBK
Overview
Platinum Bubba Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain renowned for its potent medicinal properties and exceptional sedative effects. Created through crossing Platinum OG Kush with Bubba Kush, this strain inherits the best characteristics from both legendary parent strains, resulting in a powerful indica that typically contains 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics. The strain earned its 'platinum' designation due to its dense coating of silvery trichomes that give the buds a metallic, platinum-like appearance under proper lighting. Originating from California, Platinum Bubba Kush has gained significant recognition throughout the cannabis community for its therapeutic applications and robust genetic stability. The strain produces dense, purple-hued buds with dark forest green coloration and bright amber hairs, often displaying rust-colored accents. Its appearance is characterized by compact, resinous flowers that are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, making them appear frosty and premium in quality. With its slow-onset, long-lasting effects and distinctive aromatic profile, Platinum Bubba Kush has become a favorite among both medical patients seeking powerful relief and recreational users who appreciate strong indica effects.

Growing Information
Platinum Bubba Kush is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and typically finishes in early to mid-October when cultivated outdoors. Indoor yields average around 11-14 oz/m² (400 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 21-35 oz per plant (600-1000 grams per plant) under optimal conditions. The plants exhibit compact, robust growth with moderate height and sturdy stems. They prefer warm, Mediterranean-like climates and respond well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain is known for its resilience against pests and problems, though growers should implement proper odor control measures due to its pungent aroma during flowering. Plants develop dense, resinous buds with excellent trichome production, making this strain ideal for extract and concentrate production.
