Bubbacream2 by Shangri LA Genetics
Bubbacream2 is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Shangri-La Genetics, launched in 2018. It is recognized for its balanced profile, combining uplifting cerebral qualities with physical relaxation, making it a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal users.
Appearance
Bubbacream2 presents visually striking, dense buds characterized by a frosty, resin-covered exterior. The coloration typically includes deep emerald greens with purple accents and subtle orange pistils woven through tightly packed calyxes. Its leaves are thick and slightly serrated, contrasting with lighter green, frosty patches, contributing to a robust and attractive plant structure.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Bubbacream2 is a complex bouquet, unfolding with sweet and creamy notes layered over spicy earthiness. Volatile compounds contribute to hints of tropical fruit and a subtle skunk nuance. Upon combustion, the flavor follows suit, delivering a blend of rich bubblegum sweetness and dairy creaminess, complemented by an earthy spice that lingers on the palate. The smoke is notably smooth.
Effects
Users report that Bubbacream2 offers a balanced high, providing both creative invigoration and physical relaxation. It is often described as inducing a clear-headed cerebral buzz alongside deep relaxation, making it suitable for various activities. The strain is noted for its ability to maintain a balanced experience without being overly sedating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Bubbacream2 typically contains around 22% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. Laboratory analyses indicate a significant concentration of terpenes, with dominant compounds including Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. These contribute to the strain's distinct aroma, flavor, and effects profile. The genetic engineering has led to an enhancement in terpene synthesis and trichome density.
Growing
Cultivation reports suggest that Bubbacream2 exhibits predictable growth patterns due to its stable genetic profile, making it accessible for both novice and experienced growers. It has shown potential for larger yields compared to similar hybrids, with cultivation reports detailing yields up to 30% larger. Its robust genetics may also confer increased disease resistance and adaptability to various climates.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Shangri-La Genetics and launched in 2018, Bubbacream2 is the result of meticulous breeding designed to fuse desirable indica and sativa characteristics. Approximately 55% of its genetic makeup leans towards indica, contributing to relaxation, while the remaining 45% sativa lineage provides a cerebral uplift. Over 70 distinct parent strains were utilized in its complex genetic engineering.
