Bubba-Yum
Also known as: Bubba Yum, Bubba Yum OG
Bubba-Yum Strain Overview
Bubba-Yum is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s as part of the expanding 'Bubba' family of strains. The strain was developed by crossing the classic Bubba Kush with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype, resulting in a potent indica that maintains the signature characteristics of its parent strains while offering a unique flavor profile. Breeders sought to create a strain that preserved the heavy physical effects of Bubba Kush while introducing more complex terpene expressions from the OG lineage.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, giving them a visually striking appearance. Bubba-Yum's buds are known for their exceptional density and resin production, making them popular among extract artists and concentrate producers.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines earthy, kush-like notes with sweeter undertones, and its reputation for delivering powerful physical relaxation. The strain has gained a following among medical cannabis users seeking relief from various conditions, though its high THC content means it should be approached with caution by novice consumers. Bubba-Yum remains a relatively specialized strain that is more commonly found in medical and recreational markets in legal states rather than as a widely distributed commercial product.

Bubba-Yum Strain Growing Information
Bubba-Yum is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors, making them suitable for limited space grows. Bubba-Yum responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage. The plants benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
