Bubba Kush originated in the early 1990s as an accidental hybrid that crossed itself in Matt Berger’s garden.

Also known as Bubba, Berger discovered a phenotype called Kush — a cut of the Afghan Kush landrace strain that grew in the wild. While experimenting indoors with these Kush genetics, a crop of Northern Lights growing in the same room ended up intermingling with Kush, leaving behind a set of seeds.
