California Bubba by Dispensary Near Me

Cali Bubba Kush must have been a no-brainer when it came time to name this strain given the popularity of Kush varieties in The Golden State. Its buds are large and dense with few leaves and not many pistils. The flowers will be light green shot through with icy blue and packed with trichomes throughout. Cali Bubba Kush buds have a fruity citrus aroma with the darker coffee notes of a kush. Spicier tones and the coffee kushiness are more apparent in the taste. The indica-dominant variation of this hybrid has been more popular, but a Sativa-dominant version has also been spotted.

The name Cali Bubba Kush (or California Kush) describes at least two distinct strains in wide circulation — and ironically, neither was produced in California. One is a balanced pure indica created by the Netherlands-based company Sumo Seeds. The other is an indica-leaning hybrid bred by Anesia Seeds from Spain.

Cali Bubba Kush is a cross between award-winning Mendocino Purps and staple indica LA Confidential. It has small to medium-sized buds that appear mostly spherical with a tight and dense bud structure. The pale green leaves are streaked with shades of blue and purple which come about when high concentrations of pigments in the plant (likely passed on from the Purps parent strain) are stimulated by cold temperatures during cultivation. Cured flowers of this Cali Bubba Kush have mostly floral, herbal scents with some hints of mint. The smoke is smooth and has a fruity aftertaste.

Cali Bubba Kush has a high that comes on fans for an indica. Smokers may feel a sudden heaviness in the head that spreads through the limbs and core. The quick sedative effects may bring about a desire to lounge in the closest comfortable surroundings. More calming than thought-provoking, this strain’s head high manifests as a pleasantly hazy, dreamy state. For medical cannabis patients, this Cali Bubba Kush can have a range of applications. Its mellow vibe can place a damper on the troubling symptoms of stress, anxiety, and PTSD. It can also relieve aches and pains, whether they’re incidental, due to injury or exercise, or chronic, due to conditions like arthritis. More of an evening or nighttime treat than a wake-and-bake strain, this bud’s effects may ultimately lead to deep and restful sleep.

Luckily, Anesia has made seeds of their Cali Bubba Kush available for purchase online. With strong and varied genetics, this may be a good option for newcomers to cannabis cultivation. It can be grown outdoors, but successful outdoor cultivation depends on a warm, Mediterranean-like climate. The short, indica-typical plants, which rarely exceed 3 feet in height, are very manageable in indoor grow spaces. Growers should be sure to “top off” their plants, trimming away any broad, light-blocking fan leaves to encourage flowering among lower branches.
