Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, earthy pungency reminiscent of rich soil, black pepper, dark chocolate, diesel-like sharpness)

Limonene (subtle citrus brightness, sweet orange/lemon zest on exhale); trace amounts of myrcene (herbal, musky notes), humulene (earthiness, woody characteristics), linalool (faint floral undertones)

Deep physical relaxation; couch-lock potential; muscle tension release; mental quieting; stress reduction; enhanced sensory appreciation (tactile, flavor, music); present-moment awareness; sleep support; sedative qualities that intensify with higher doses

2-3 hours when inhaled with residual effects for another hour; edible preparations provide 4-6 hours of noticeable effects; tolerance builds relatively quickly with daily use

Onset within 10-15 minutes for inhalation (45-90 minutes for edibles); initial gentle mental relaxation and quieting of mental chatter; within 20-30 minutes progresses to pronounced physical sensations with pleasant heaviness in limbs and torso; muscle tension release; period of relaxed wakefulness before drowsiness; temperature selection influences experience (lower temps 350-370°F emphasize terpenes and functional relaxation; higher temps 380-410°F produce heavier sedative effects)

Excessive sedation with higher doses; potential drowsiness; reduced motivation; impaired coordination; not suitable for activities requiring alertness

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Daytime productivity; situations requiring mental acuity or physical coordination; operating vehicles or machinery; active tasks or motivation-dependent activities; those sensitive to sedative effects should start with smaller amounts

Cross between OG Kush and undisclosed Northern Lights phenotype (some sources suggest Bubble Gum involvement); originated in 1990s California through breeder known as 'Bubba'; represents American interpretation of Hindu Kush mountain genetics; emerged during pivotal West Coast breeding period

15-22% THC typical range; premium examples occasionally reach 25%; minimal CBD content (below 0.5%); some batches show elevated CBG levels (1-2%); moderate-to-high potency with effects often feeling more pronounced than THC percentage suggests due to robust terpene content and entourage effect

Pre-98 Bubba Kush (even more sedative, tighter structure, darker coloration); Blackwater (sweeter berry notes, more purple coloration); Master Kush (slightly more uplifting, less couch-lock); Platinum Kush (higher THC potential, more cerebral effects); Purple Kush (more floral/grape aromatics, pure indica genetics)

Moderate resistance to common molds and pests; dense bud structure requires careful humidity management during late flowering to prevent bud rot

8-9 weeks flowering time; faster than many pure indica varieties while producing substantial yields

Substantial yields suitable for indoor commercial production; Sea of Green techniques maximize productivity

Short stature (2-3 feet indoors); classic indica structure with broad leaves; tight internode spacing; dense canopy coverage; compact growth ideal for confined spaces and Sea of Green (SOG) techniques

Tight compact buds with minimal stem visibility; spherical appearance; extensive trichome coverage creating crystalline appearance; deep forest green to purple-tinged coloration with bright orange pistils; strong aroma without breaking bud; intensifies significantly when opened or ground; sticky but not wet texture; properly cured flower springs back when pressed; greasy/oily feel from abundant resin; 2-4 weeks minimum cure time
