Peyote is recorded as a pure indica (~90%–100% indica) cannabis cultivar. It is listed with the parent cross S1 Phenotype of Bubba Kush × Phenotype of Bubba Kush × Stabilized. Commonly reported effects associated with this cultivar include calming.
About
Peyote is a pure indica strain, sitting at approximately 90% to 100% indica, developed from an S1 phenotype of Bubba Kush. That self-crossed lineage concentrates Bubba Kush's core traits into a tighter genetic expression, producing a plant that leans hard into the indica end of the spectrum with THC levels ranging from 18% to 24%.
The terpene profile is anchored by myrcene, caryophyllene, linalool, and humulene, a combination that translates clearly into the flavor experience. Users commonly describe the taste as earthy, sweet, and floral — three notes that track directly with those terpenes. Myrcene brings the musky, earthy foundation; linalool contributes the floral lift; caryophyllene and humulene add a dry, slightly spiced depth that keeps the sweetness grounded rather than sharp.
Effects reported by users are consistently calming in character, which aligns with what you'd expect from a high-THC, near-pure indica with a myrcene-dominant terpene stack. No particular nuance beyond that is well-documented, and the strain doesn't appear to be associated with energizing or cerebral qualities.
On the cultivation side, Peyote flowers in 8 to 9 weeks, putting it in the 56- to 63-day range — reasonable for an indica of this density. Growers classify it as moderate difficulty, and that rating is primarily tied to one specific challenge: the buds are dense, and dense buds in a humid environment invite mold. Airflow, spacing, and humidity management aren't optional with this strain — they're the difference between a clean harvest and a lost one. Yield potential sits in the 350 to 450 grams per square meter range, and the characterization here is quality over quantity, meaning the plant isn't a heavy producer by commercial standards but what it does produce is considered worth the attention it demands.
Peyote does not have documented offspring listed in available records, so its significance currently rests in what it is rather than what it's contributed to further breeding. As a refined expression of Bubba Kush through selfing, it represents a useful point of study for indica characteristics — compact structure, dense flower production, and a terpene profile that delivers a consistent and recognizable sensory experience.
