Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Bubba Fett
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Beta-caryophyllene (peppery spiciness, CB2 receptor interaction, anti-inflammatory properties); Myrcene (earthy, musky, herbal foundation, enhances THC effects, contributes to couch-lock sensation)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Limonene (citrus brightness, mood elevation); Humulene (woody, piney edges); Pinene (fresh evergreen notes); Linalool (soft floral undertones, variable presence); total terpene content typically 1.5-3.5% by weight
The Experience- Common Effects
Profound physical relaxation progressing to full sedation; initial mental uplift transitioning to calm, contemplative headspace; significant appetite stimulation (cabinet-clearing munchies); relief from physical tension and discomfort; drowsiness increasing 90+ minutes post-consumption; mood elevation and stress dissolution; time distortion; decreased motivation for physical activity; couch-lock in moderate to high doses
The Experience- Duration
Peak experience sustains 2-3 hours; total noticeable effects last 4-6 hours depending on consumption method, dosage, and tolerance; edible consumption extends timeline significantly; effects increase in intensity through first 30-45 minutes before plateauing
The Experience- Onset
Initial onset within 5-10 minutes of inhalation; begins with cerebral warmth and mental uplift; thoughts become more fluid with mood elevation and potential creativity; transition to full-body relaxation occurs gradually over 15-30 minutes; tension releases from shoulders and neck first, cascading downward; substantial heaviness and weighted limb sensation develops within 30-45 minutes; sedation becomes thorough but not immediately immobilizing in moderate doses
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth and dry eyes (common); grogginess; potential anxiety or paranoia in susceptible individuals, especially at high doses; over-sedation if dosage not carefully managed; potential dizziness; may exacerbate mental fog or confusion at higher doses; not suitable for daytime use when alertness required
Strain Type
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Morning or early afternoon use (unless no responsibilities); before driving or operating machinery; social events requiring high energy or mental sharpness; athletic activities or exercise; situations where anxiety or paranoia are concerns; any activity requiring focus, coordination, or alertness; first-time cannabis users without supervision
Lineage and Origins
Bred by Green Dream Cannabis in Colorado; cross of Pre-98 Bubba Kush (85% indica with Hindu Kush/Afghani landrace genetics) and Stardawg (sativa-dominant, Chemdawg #4 x Tres Dawg lineage); developed in mid-to-late 2010s during Colorado's post-legalization breeding boom; not to be confused with Boba Fett or Bubba Fett OG strains
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 22-29% (average 24-26%, exceptional batches up to 30%); CBD: minimal, typically under 0.1% (often 0.09%); CBG: trace amounts 0.03-0.2%; CBC: trace detection; high THC-to-CBD ratio produces pronounced psychoactive effects; CO2 enrichment and optimal cultivation can increase cannabinoid content 10-20%
Comparable Strains
Pre-98 Bubba Kush (direct parent, deep body relaxation, earthy-coffee flavors, lacks mental uplift, lower THC 18-22%); Granddaddy Purple (heavy indica sedation, 20-27% THC, sweeter grape/berry profile, more mental haziness); Platinum Kush (comparable potency, similar flowering time, more balanced indica/sativa split, pronounced sweetness); Death Star (75/25 indica-dominant, strong sedation, diesel aromatics, more pungent fuel aroma, Sensi Star x Sour Diesel genetics); Purple Punch (comparable couch-lock, similar evening-use profile, distinctly sweeter grape/vanilla flavors, less cerebral uplift)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Moderate to challenging growing difficulty; not recommended for first-time growers; requires attention to environmental details; sensitive to overwatering (can stunt growth for several days); nutrient-sensitive particularly during flowering; stable temperature control required (68-80°F optimal); humidity control essential to prevent mold in dense buds; thrives in warm, semi-humid Mediterranean-like climates; indoor cultivation with environmental control produces most consistent results
Cultivation Flowering Time
7-9 weeks (optimal around week 8); some reports of 6-7 week flowering with potential terpene sacrifice; relatively brief flowering period attractive to commercial cultivators despite moderate yields
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 0.5-1.3 oz per square foot (350-500 g/m²); Outdoor: up to 20 oz per plant under ideal conditions (limited outdoor data available); moderate yields compensated by high potency and bag appeal; quality-over-quantity cultivation philosophy
Cultivation Plant Structure
Compact and bushy; typically 30-50 inches maximum height; tight internodal spacing; indica-dominant structure well-suited to indoor cultivation and height-restricted spaces; responds well to low-stress training techniques to maximize canopy spread; dense bud structure; minimal vertical stretch
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Tightly packed, resinous nuggets that feel sticky to touch; vibrant lime to forest green coloration with bright orange pistils and possible purple highlights; heavy trichome coating creating frosted, crystalline appearance; powerful, immediately recognizable pungent aroma difficult to contain; increased aromatic intensity when broken apart; properly cured flower should break cleanly without crumbling to dust; fresh flower (within 2-4 months of cure) preserves more terpenes and fuller flavor
