What type of genetics are contained in Bubba Island Kush?
These very strong Kush genetics originated in North America. Dutch Passion geneticists developed this new strain by crossing Grandaddy Purple x OG Kush with a pre-'98 Bubba Kush sire. The average height is one meter. The quick flowering time of 7.5 weeks and the fruity-sour Kush notes make Bubba Island Kush a very special Kush addition to the Dutch Passion collection. Bubba Island Kush is part of our USA Special seed collection, representing the very best genetics from the United States.
Bubba Island Kush is a fast bloomer with compact flowers and a good yield
Bubba Island Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with a very fast flowering time of just 7-7.5 weeks. Due to this rapid life cycle, most plants tend to remain compact and small, making this strain extremely suitable for rapid SOG cultivation. If you are only working with a smaller number of plants per m², it is best to stay in the vegetative phase a little longer (approx. 5-8 weeks, depending on the number of plants per m²) to achieve a large growth with this variety ;to achieve a return.
Its compact growth structure with short internodes makes Bubba Island Kush a very suitable plant for growing using the SOG method. It also does well when grown naturally. Because of the strong stems and compact structure, she has no problems standing upright even when grown outdoors. Although originally developed as an indoor cannabis strain, it can also be grown outdoors thanks to its quick flowering time.
Be careful with a lot of rain and humidity towards the end of the flowering phase. Due to the compact buds, it is recommended to place the plants under protection in the late flowering period. The colder nighttime temperatures really create a beautiful color palette. The leaves can become very dark during the flowering phase. This strain will appeal to true Kush lovers for its special appearance and tasty terpenes. In autumn the plants often change color from dark green to red/purple to dark purple or even completely black! The colder it is outside, the more likely you are to see these colors.
Bubba Island Kush does not expand much during flowering and usually comes to a stop within 2-3 weeks of switching to 12/12 conditions. From that moment on she puts all her energy into the development of her buds. The leaves have a true indica appearance in the growth phase with thick, greasy fingers characteristic of the indica heritage. Their plant structure can best be described as compact. The internode distance is relatively small and the leaves have a hybrid structure in the flowering phase, which tends significantly more towards the indica side.
The genetics used to create Bubba Island Kush guarantee the following characteristics:
- A very compact plant with a quick flowering time
- A complex terpene profile with a pungently sour, fruity Kush aroma and taste. This tasty Indica-dominant USA Kush hybrid also has a very high THC content.
- A plant with beautiful dark colors that contrast nicely with the thick white layer of trichomes on the buds
Bubba Island Kush is the ideal strain for the true Kush lover. Her complex terpene profile will make you want to grow her again and again!

Bubba Island Kush flowering time
Bubba Island Kush is a very compact feminized cannabis strain that can flower very quickly. With an average flowering time of 7-8 weeks, she is one of our fastest flowering photoperiod cannabis strains. If you like a very strong narcotic effect, we recommend that you let it bloom for about a week longer. This ensures that most of the trichomes turn amber. This provides an extremely powerful physical high that is second to none.
Due to the quick flowering time, the plants usually remain slightly smaller than other varieties. It is therefore important to prefer them a little longer if you are only working with a small number of plants per m². With a SOG this is not necessary and you get perfect Christmas trees with just a few weeks of growth. This allows for very fast growth cycles with this strain.
The yield of Bubba Island Kush
Bubba Island Kush has been rated an 'L' (for 'Large' yields) due to her fairly good yields, although these may be slightly lower per square meter than you would expect from some Dutch Passion strains . But she more than makes up for it with her quick flowering time. The average yield is somewhere between 350-450g/m² in an indoor grow with strong lighting.
Outdoors, with proper care and pre-growth, she can yield around 500-750g per plant. Due to its quick flowering time, it can be grown in many different climates, but preferably a dry one. For best results, grow them in a ventilated greenhouse or polytunnel, which protects them from rain and reduces the risk of bud rot and mold.
Advice from our experts
Bubba Island Kush practically grows on its own and is a fairly easy strain to grow. It does not require any special cultivation methods or feeding schedules to achieve a good and tasty end result. She is not a picky eater when it comes to diet and thrives on pretty much any food line. However, for the tastiest results, we recommend growing them completely organically. This benefits the strong, spicy aroma and taste!
If we can give one tip about this variety, it would be to say that it is important not to cause it to flower too early. The strain has little stretch in the flowering phase, so don't expect tall plants, but rather compact bushy plants. She is very suitable for growing in a SOG, but she can also be grown in a SCROG. The stiff and strong branches can also be trimmed and super trimmed, they do not break easily. Topping and fimming is allowed in a SCROG, but we strongly advise against it in a SOG or in a natural way.
The beautiful, well-stacked main flower with sparkling white trichomes on the often dark purple/black leaves is something you won't soon forget!
