Aroma and flavour
Death Bubba is mostly described as pungent, earthy and skunky, with a sweet earthiness on the exhale. Lab terpene data for it is limited.
Lineage
Its parents are Bubba Kush, a heavy indica, and Death Star, itself a cross of Sensi Star and Sour Diesel. Leafly lists Tom Ford as one of Death Bubba’s offspring.
Indica, sativa and what to expect
Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
