Bubba OG: Spicy Sweet Pine
Bubba OG seeds grow into medium to tall plants that are unlike any other cannabis plant you have ever seen. These plants feature massive buds that are packed to the gills with THC. The leaves are smaller than most and are turned down towards the soil. The buds, however, are cone-shaped and have individual leaves sprouting from different angles. The leaves and the buds are dark purple in color with flashes of green. Looking closely at the buds, you can clearly see they are coated in dusty resin, making the finished product exceptionally sticky to the touch. It is also that resin that gives off the skunky and pungent aroma that cannabis fans love. The finished and harvested nuggets are small and dense. They are also green and orange and still have some of those trichomes attached to the exterior. Bubba OG hasn’t won any major awards, but its parent strain, Bubba Kush is a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup winner in 1996 and 2008. This makes Bubba OG a winner by proxy.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Bubba OG grows best in a semi-humid, frost-free environment with plenty of sunshine and fresh air. The strain is best grown by cultivators with experience harvesting their own cannabis. When growing Bubba OG seeds indoors, using high-quality grow lights is essential for optimal plant development. LED grow lights are a popular choice due to their energy efficiency and ability to provide the full spectrum of light needed for different growth stages. Maintaining these conditions helps ensure healthy development and maximizes yield potential.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Bubba OG cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18-20 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. To induce flowering, you should dial back the light cycle to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to mimic the outdoors’ natural light.
- Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 40-50% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40-50% during the flowering stage of growth. This will help keep mold and mildew off of your buds.
- Training Techniques: This strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, as well as in greenhouses. Indoors, it responds well to soil or hydroponic systems, and using the Sea of Green (SOG) method can maximize yields.
