Pumpkin Kush
Also known as: Lambsbread x Pre-98 Bubba Kush
Pumpkin Kush Strain Overview
Pumpkin Kush is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing Lambsbread (also known as Lamb's Bread) and Pre-98 Bubba Kush. This exotic strain features a 60% sativa and 40% indica genetic profile, combining tropical West Indies genetics with legendary California breeding. The strain originated when breeders obtained permission from local growers to transport Lambsbread, a famous Jamaican sativa reportedly favored by Bob Marley and integral to the reggae scene of the 1970s-80s, to Northern California where it was crossed with Pre-98 Bubba Kush to create a more balanced hybrid. Pumpkin Kush produces oversized, spade-shaped buds with forest green coloration, thin orange pistils, and a coating of bright white crystal trichomes. The strain is particularly renowned for its complex flavor profile that closely resembles pumpkin pie, featuring sweet, spicy, and nutty notes with herbaceous undertones. This strain has been offered by Royal Queen Seeds but was later discontinued, though seeds are still available from various breeders. The strain is known for its relatively compact growth pattern, making it suitable for limited spaces while still producing generous yields.

Pumpkin Kush Strain Growing Information
Pumpkin Kush is considered a medium difficulty strain to grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with plants reaching 90-140cm in height and yielding approximately 525g/m². Outdoor cultivation produces larger yields of up to 700g per plant with harvest ready in early October, and plants can reach up to 180cm tall. The strain prefers slightly cooler nighttime temperatures when grown indoors and requires adequate ventilation to prevent bud rot and fungal issues. Plants respond well to Low Stress Training (LST) and High Stress Training (HST) techniques, and benefit from regular defoliation. Due to its compact, indica-like structure inherited from its Bubba Kush parent, it's well-suited for limited growing spaces while still providing high yields.
