Platinum Bubba Kush Strain Review (Advanced NMC)
Name: Platinum Bubba Kush
Dispensary: Advanced NMC (formerly Apothecary 420) [Hollywood]
Grade: A/A+
Type: Mostly Indica
Lineage: Unknown. A variation of Bubba Kush.
Price: $20/gram, $60/8th
Looks: Big, chunky, leafy, dumpling sized nugs. Light and dark green buds with some purple peeking through closer to the stems and a few auburn colored hairs. Heavy trichome coverage. Brittle to the touch, but dank and sticky when broken up.
Smell: Musty, earthy, minty, sweet and spicy. Recognizable Bubba Kush scent.
Taste: A musty, minty flavor similar to the smell. Rich and thick vapor with moderate lung expansion. The flavor lingered in my mouth long after vaporizing.
Buzz: Happy, heavy buzz. Clear headed, euphoric, sedating and highly relaxing. My body was tingling with noticeable numbing sensations. Couch lock in high doses. Best for the evening and for the sleep.
Summary: Finally, a proper batch of Platinum Bubba Kush. I’ve sampled so many disappointing batches in the past few months and it feels good to find the real deal. The looks, taste and smell were all fantastic. The buzz was everything I love about good variations of Bubba; happy, heavy and extremely enjoyable.
Finally, a proper batch of Platinum Bubba Kush. See my full review here.
