A True CBD Queen

Bud Basics

Any strain that’s crossed with Harlequin is going to have high expectations placed upon it, and with a parent that stands alone as a CBD powerhouse, it’s no wonder. Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular takes this high level of cannabidiol (CBD) and combines it with the hybrid strain Bubba Kush to provide a strain of immense therapeutic value that can clear the head, focus the mind and sedate the body - and all that in one joint.

Palatable in flavor and fragrance, this strain is mild and delicate to the senses, mixing earthen woodiness with sweet and faintly fruity notes.

Recreationally, there’s little to be said about Harlequin x Bubba Kush, as her THC levels are low and her high is fairly mild. For beginners and those new to consuming cannabis, she’ll likely leave you with a faintly euphoric feeling that opens up the mind and calms the body - but this strain is more about the medicinal benefits than the high she induces.

And those medicinal benefits are abundant. Combining a low-level euphoria with potent anxiolytic, antipsychotic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, Harlequin x Bubba Kush Reg is capable of benefiting sufferers of a variety of ailments, from the physical to the psychological.

Take heart! All that excellence comes with ease of growing, and this ganja is easy to handle even for beginners since she’s small, stocky and content to grow indoors or out. Maintaining a healthy environment for Harlequin x Bubba Kush is all that’s required of growers, and in only 8 to 9 weeks your reward will be a bounty of 500 to 550 grams of buds.

Flavor and Fragrance of Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular

Harlequin x Bubba Kush Reg has a particularly palatable flavor-profile, especially for those new to smoking and consuming cannabis. Blending together the dominant flavors and scents of her two parent strains, the aroma of this ganja has an earthiness to it from her Harlequin side, and a woody odor from the Bubba Kush lineage.

Exhaling the smoke is sweeter, milder, and will leave you with the faintest fruity flavor on your tongue.

Effects

When it comes to THC levels, Harlequin x Bubba Kush isn’t exactly a potent strain at only 6%. Though psychedelic, her high is a subtle one, providing gentle mental stimulation that clears the mind and leaves you feeling peaceful and content. 

As for her more physical effects, that’s where those Indica-dominant traits come into play, manifesting in the form of a calming relaxation that is mild enough to keep you from lethargy and laziness. As such, this hybrid's a great strain for use at any time of the day.

Although very gentle, for those new to the cannabis community Harlequin x Bubba Kush Reg can still have adverse effects. Newbies are more prone to experiencing mild cottonmouth, dry eyes and even a little dizziness if they do not approach with caution.

Medical Uses of Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular

Many of the therapeutic benefits associated with marijuana are linked with a high THC content, however, this isn’t the case with Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular. With a CBD content of between 8% to 10%, the medicinal uses of this strain are abundant.

Particularly recommended for those undergoing cancer treatment, this strain can have significant effects on pain and inflammation due to her potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively reducing or even wiping out body aches and pains from such afflictions as arthritis and migraines.

Due to Harlequin x Bubba Kush’s anxiolytic properties, the THC in this strain can be an effective relief for those struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and some symptoms of PTSD, by combining antipsychotic traits with the mild euphoria she produces.

Growing Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular

Small and stocky, Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular will grow to no more than 150cm during her life cycle, but her short and bushy shape makes her an ideal specimen for a Sea of Green (SoG) setup, which will do wonders for your final yield.

This strain will do well in pots with organic soil, but for truly explosive growth we recommended hydroponics and 1000 watts of light to imitate that all-important sunshine. Some stress training could also be a good idea to improve that final harvest, around the latter part of the vegetation period until the early flowering stage - this is also a great time to weed out the males from the females, as these seeds are regular.

Harlequin x Bubba Kush will mature in around 8 to 9 weeks, and once she’s done growing you can expect a plentiful yield of 500 to 550 grams per square meter, on average.

If you prefer to grow your cannabis out of doors, a warm dry climate is ideal for this strain - she needs plenty of light, but make sure she’s somewhere with some shade, too. Outdoors, you can expect a harvest of up to 600 grams of buds per plant, ready to chop down around the beginning of October.

Summary

People across history have consumed cannabis for its medicinal benefits, and strains such as Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular only serve to highlight just how therapeutic a plant marijuana can be.

Inhaling the smoke, you’ll first find an earthen, woody aroma that’s mild and particularly appealing to newbies. Exhale, and this heightens to a sweeter, fruitier note that’s just as delicious on the tongue as it is to the nose.

Recreationally, seasoned users will get very little from this strain, but newcomers to the cannabis community may enjoy the mild and gentle high that’s induced by a joint of Harlequin x Bubba Kush. Calming and mind-clearing, her Indica-dominance will later arrive to soften the muscles and loosen the limbs without the usual laziness and lethargy associated with higher THC strains.

Medically is where this ganja really shines, though. Utilized by a variety of patients suffering from both physical and psychological ailments, Harlequin x Bubba Kush Reg has the four As covered: anxiolytic for anxiety, analgesic for pain, anti-inflammatory for swelling and antipsychotic for stress.

Small and bushy, plenty of light and a pleasant imitation Mediterranean climate is all you need for Harlequin x Bubba Kush Regular to thrive.
