Bubba Dough
Also known as: Bubba Dough OG
Bubba Dough Strain Overview
Bubba Dough is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Pre-98 Bubba Kush and Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the deeply relaxing qualities of classic indica genetics with the complex flavor profile and balanced effects of contemporary hybrids. The strain gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene before spreading to other markets, though its exact origin and breeder remain somewhat obscure in cannabis lore.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dark olive green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky trichomes. The buds often display purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, particularly in the final flowering stages. Bubba Dough's structure tends to be indica-dominant with tight, compact bud formation, though some phenotypes may show more sativa-like stretching.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, sweet, and doughy notes with subtle gas undertones. The strain is recognized for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Bubba Dough has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its combination of classic and modern cannabis genetics.

Bubba Dough Strain Growing Information
Bubba Dough is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are moderate to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter indoors or 500-600 grams per plant outdoors under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature-sensitive purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Bubba Dough responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (avoiding excessive heat) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements but can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
