Another Quick Dive...
Every now and then, a new strain hits the scene that feels like it was tailor-made for the true heads. Enter Space Cake x Bubba Kush, the latest offering from Shoreline Genetics, a name already trusted for quality genetics with Texas roots and national reach.
This isn’t just another hybrid. It’s a thoughtfully bred union of two powerhouse strains — one known for its euphoric, cosmic lift (Space Cake), and the other for its legendary, body-melting calm (Bubba Kush). Together, they create a cultivar that speaks to both new-school flavor chasers and old-school indica lovers.
Whether you're in it for the terps, the chill, or the lineage — this is one cross that deserves a spot in your rotation. In this post, we’ll dig into the genetics and what makes this strain a standout.
Space Cake: Parent of Space Cake x Bubba Kush
Originally bred from the legendary Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies and Snow Lotus, Space Cake is known for its out-of-this-world effects and dessert-like flavor.
Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies, known for it's high THC percentages, even outdoor (27%+), is a clone-only phenotype of GSC.
As noted in a previous blog post on Chem Gem from Farmhouse Studio Genetics, it is thought that GSC originally started when a local Willits/Laytonville breeder known as George, St. George, and Crystal George - due to him owning a crystal/rare jewelry shop - hit a Cherry Pie clone (bred by Pie Guy of the Cookie Fam) with either a PCK male (Pakistani Chitral Kush) that he brought from Philadelphia circa 2008, or a Chemdog male. Those seeds and resulting flower had a few different phenotypes, one of which eventually became GSC. Some of that "pre-cookies" Cherry Pie Kush phenotype, which was not-supposed-to-be-named Cherry Pie Kush due to the genetics' instability, made its way down to Berner. While eating a Girl Scout Cookie (Thin Mint?), it was exclaimed that the flower tasted just like Girl Scout Cookies - and so the marketing began.
The resulting bag seed from this batch of "pre-cookies" phenotype of Cherry Pie Kush may have been popped and bred with. They may have been crossed to the same F1 Durb used by Pie Guy of the Cookies Fam to make Cherry Pie. One of the possible lineages of GSC is OG Kush x F1 Durb.
Snow Lotus, also known as "Goohead", is an indica-dominant hybrid bred by Bodhi Seeds, which was created by crossing Afgooey and Blockhead.
Afgooey, also known as Afgoo or Afghan Goo, is a clone-only cut from Northern California whose lineage is thought to be Afghani #1 and Maui Haze.
Blockhead is a cross between a Pakistani Landrace dubbed P19 and Sweet Tooth. According to the internet, the original Blockhead strain may have been called Buruandi and bred by Genehtik Seeds, or by Spice of Life Seeds and Breeder Steve.
Bubba Kush: Parent of Space Cake x Bubba Kush
A cornerstone indica with a mysterious past, Bubba Kush is a name that still carries weight in any circle. Created (on accident) by Matt Berger, Bubba Kush could be called "bagseed" from a cutting of Kush (OG) that got stressed and "hermed", pollinating a cut of "Bubba" in the process.
Regarding the cutting of Kush, "Alec Anderson was the grower that first popped the seed. From there, it made its way to Matt "Bubba" Berger in Florida in 1992."
Further explained on ICMAG by user JetLife175, somewhere near Orlando, Florida in 1992, Alec bought an ounce of "superknaught", which happened to have some seeds. Alec popped those seeds, of which one phenotype became known as "Kush".
It should be noted that at the time, "Crippy" was also a term used on the east coast for good flower, which would've included Kush.
Once Matt Berger made his way to Cali in 1996, his cutting became known as OG Kush to differentiate itself among the other Kush phenotypes that started popping up throughout Los Angeles.
As far as "Bubba", "[i]n 1993, [Matt Berger] planted a bag of seeds believed to be Northern Lights. Among these, a standout phenotype led to further cultivation and crossbreeding experiments, eventually contributing to the creation of Bubba Kush."
Space Cake x Bubba Kush: a Refreshingly Historic Experience
Obviously, this strain is packed with history of such magnitude that it wouldn't be crazy to see a phenotype become part of the next 20 year wave. Filled with potential, powered by tried-and-true DNA, Space Cake x Bubba Kush by Shoreline Genetics is truly something to be appreciated by savvy seed collectors.
If you're the type of person that values having the best among the rest, I encourage you to reward yourself with a pack of Space Cake x Bubba Kush seeds before the world passes you by.
