What is the Platinum Bubba strain?
Platinum Bubba is a indica cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and floral flavor profile.
Platinum Bubba, also known as Platinum Bubba Kush (PBK), is a powerful indica-dominant hybrid strain with approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics, created from crossing Platinum OG Kush and Bubba Kush. Originating from California, this strain is the result of meticulous breeding that combines some of the finest American cannabis genetics. The name 'Platinum Bubba Kush' pays homage to its ancestors while hinting at the strain's thick trichome coating that gives it a silvery, platinum-like appearance. These dense, purple-hued nugs feature bright green coloring with purple and orange hairs, covered in a frosty coating of resinous trichomes. Known as a 'creeper' strain, Platinum Bubba is a long-lasting variety that may take a few minutes to kick in, but delivers powerfully sedating effects once it does. The flowers exhibit a floral aroma full of kush spiciness, while offering a surprisingly sweet flavor that has made it a patient favorite. With a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks, this strain has become popular in California and is spreading to other regions.
