This cross strain of Train Wreck and Bubba Kush (aka Bubba-wreck) was picked up from Dealer McDope's House for $60 an 8th. It's a mix of two favorites, so we were pretty excited to take it home for a test run. Pre-Smoke Examination: The nugs are long big and beautiful. The buds are not dense at all, they are instead fluffy loose, and spongy when squeezed. The buds have this look like the wind......

A few days ago LAist bought an 8th out of some surfer guy's living room for $60. He told us it was a cross between Hawaii's Maui-wowee and Northern Cali's Trainwreck, and that it was grown outdoors so it would have that sun-kissed, natural feel as opposed to the sometimes chemy feel of something grown indoors or with hydroponics. Pre-Smoke Examination: The large sphere-like nugs are fluffy, loose, and airy. They smell a little......
