Bubba's Widow
Also known as: Bubba Widow
Bubba's Widow Strain Overview
Bubba's Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Bubba Kush and White Widow. This combination brings together the heavy, sedating qualities of Bubba Kush with the balanced, euphoric effects of White Widow, resulting in a strain that offers both physical relaxation and mental stimulation. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the best characteristics of these two popular varieties, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles.
The plant typically displays characteristics inherited from both parents, with dense, resinous buds that often show the frosty trichome coverage characteristic of White Widow alongside the darker purple and green hues sometimes seen in Bubba Kush phenotypes. The buds are usually compact and chunky, with orange pistils weaving through the dense floral structures. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
Bubba's Widow is known for its relatively high THC content and moderate CBD levels, making it a potent option for experienced consumers. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and seed catalogs, though it hasn't achieved the same widespread recognition as its parent strains. Its balanced genetic heritage makes it suitable for various consumption methods, though users should be aware of its potentially strong effects, particularly in phenotypes leaning toward the Bubba Kush parentage.

Bubba's Widow Strain Growing Information
Bubba's Widow 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 occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to be medium in height, usually staying under 5 feet tall indoors but potentially reaching 6-7 feet outdoors. They respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and benefits from good air circulation to prevent mold in its dense buds. Some phenotypes may show purple coloration in cooler temperatures. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and manage height. The plants produce thick, resinous buds that require careful monitoring during the final weeks of flowering to prevent bud rot in humid conditions.
