Bubba x Skunk exhibits both Indica and Sativa qualities. It is relatively tall but its frame is sturdy.

Growing it outdoors in the northern hemisphere means that it flowers earlier.

Not to mention, it produces big buds that are covered in a heavy coat of trichomes.

It grows best in both the Sea and Screen of Green method. The former maximizes small growing spaces by planting at least four seeds in a single square meter.

Meanwhile, the latter requires that growers install a net above the canopy then weave the branches into the screen when the plant hits the flowering period.

Mediums also affect the performance of a plant. While soil significantly improves its flavor, it is mostly associated with disease as pests in a dirty growing environment.

However, it is cheaper, more manageable, and beginner-friendly.

Hydroponics is a soilless type of medium that delivers nutrients straight to the roots.

As a result, bud and trichome production are higher but may not be so cost effective for first-time breeders.
