Dosing

It is important to note that Pre-98 Bubba Kush is a moderately potent strain. Care should be taken when using it to treat symptoms of stress and anxiety, as even moderate doses may lead to paranoia. When inhaling cannabis, it takes up to 15 minutes for THC to reach its maximum level in the bloodstream. When trying high THC strains, starting low and going slow, waiting at least 15 minutes between doses (tokes, bites, etc.) is advisable. For edibles, it may be worth waiting an hour or two before redosing and going slower still, as eating cannabis is considerably more potent.

Growing

This variety produces large green buds with purple hues. The flowers are covered in wispy white pistils sprinkled with an amber frost as it matures. The leaves are large and broad, and growers report luscious growth with compact nodes.

This variety will be suitable for beginner growers as it is relatively easy to grow. It is a compact plant that displays good branching that is easily manageable. Trimming some of the larger fan leaves of this variety will be essential to allow light to enter the lower canopy and improve air circulation.

Pre-98 Bubba Kush is well-suited to a hydroponic system and is a medium feeder. Although it is a compact plant, training it may improve yields and respond well to “screen of green” training. The SCROG method is topping the plants in the early vegetative stage.

This encourages the plant to produce more side shoots, eventually becoming colas (flowers). Once topped, the branches of the plants are gently weaved through support (usually a horizontal trellis) to maximize the amount of light reaching each potential bud site.

This plant is a medium yielder, averaging 300 grams per square meter indoors and 400 grams per square meter outdoors.
