Big Buddha Seeds
Big Buddha has been spreading the gospel of Cheese
throughout the UK. In this mission, he finds a flock of
Cheeseheads wherever he goes, and comes across many
different versions or phenotypes of the Cheese variety, as well
as seeing many Cheese crosses. One unique variation came
from a friend who is affectionately nicknamed Mr. Cheese. Mr.
Cheese provided the mother for what has become the Bubble
Cheese. The mother was a cutting that crossed a UK
Bubblegum strain with OG Cheese (Exodus). This mother was
similar in growth and appearance to the original Cheese but
had a much more pronounced bubblegum flavor. Big Buddha
created a “father” from a “reversed” Hubba Bubba Kush from
Amsterdam. In other words, Hubba Bubba Kush was induced to
create pollen on a female plant in order to feminize this strain.
Bubble Cheese is a mostly indica hybrid that grows into a
solid Kush-like indica plant—compact and dense, with dark
green fat squatty leaves. Its branching is short, thick, and
minimal, making it a good performer in a sea of green setup.
Bubble Cheese is a moderate to heavy feeder who takes 8–10
weeks to finish. It is recommended for indoor gardens, but if
outdoor weather stays above freezing through early November,
count yourself among the lucky few who can cultivate a Bubble
Cheese garden outdoors.
Expert growers or resourceful beginners with a green thumb
will produce some pungent indica with this strain. Indoors, the
Bubble Cheese can reach heights of up to 7 feet and produces
only moderate yields, averaging 200 grams per plant. The buds
are compact nuggets of chewing-gum bud, sticky sweet with
resin. The yield can be supplemented by turning Bubble Cheese
trimmings into hubbly bubbly hash goodness. The fat glands
are there, waiting to be collected, and will not disappoint in
quantity or quality.
Mixing bubblegum with cheese may not sound so delicious—
until you remember that Cheese doesn’t taste like, well,
cheese. Cheese is the old-school spicy-sweet Kush. It possesses
an aroma and flavor that when cured correctly brings back
wistful memories of the primo tastes of yesteryear. This is Kush
with some sugar sprinkled on top; sweet-tooth Kush fans will
be very happy. The Bubble Cheese high comes on strong. Its
sedating buzz has a down-tempo, sleepy bodily sensation. It is
not a mental downer, but brings a positivity that allows one to
wander pleasantly while listening to music or drift off into
dreamland. As a medicinal aid, it is especially appropriate for
insomnia or muscle pain.
