Bubblegum
Bubble Gum is the perfect strain if you're after a balance of euphoria and relaxation. With its sweet, fruity aroma and THC of up to 22%, this award-winning classic produces dense, resinous buds. Find out what makes Bubble Gum special and take your grow to the next level.
Bubble Gum is a true classic of the cannabis world. It was born in the '70s in Indiana, created by dedicated growers chasing a plant with a sweet aroma and a euphoric high. Its exact genetics are unknown, although Northern Lights almost certainly plays a part.
Over time, Bubblegum made its way to Amsterdam, where it was refined and stabilized and quickly won over the cannabis community. Since then it has picked up several awards, including a number of Cannabis Cup prizes.
Bubblegum is an indica-dominant hybrid that blends the best of both worlds, indica and sativa. Its buds are compact and bright light green, studded with orange pistils that catch your eye right away. They're also covered in trichomes that give them a frosty, resinous look, almost as if they'd been dusted with sugar. Growers often rave about how pretty and dense these buds are, real gems that sparkle under the light.
Flavor and effects
Crack open a jar of Bubblegum and a sweet, fruity aroma hits you right away. Its notes of berries, tropical fruit and a sugary touch are unmistakable, bringing back memories of classic bubble gum. The flavor is just as good: a perfect blend of fruit and sweetness that leaves a smooth, pleasant aftertaste.
The effects of Bubblegum are just as impressive. With THC between 18% and 22% and a low CBD content of 2%, it offers a balanced experience: heady euphoria paired with gentle body relaxation. It's ideal if you want the middle ground between the lift of a sativa and the calm of an indica. Many people say they feel creative, focused and happy, which makes it a versatile option for any time of day.
Bubble Gum terpenes
The terpenes in Bubblegum are behind its standout aroma and flavor and give its effect its character. The most notable include:
- Alpha-humulene: brings woody, earthy undertones that add depth to the aroma.
- Alpha-pinene: adds a fresh pine aroma and is linked to a clear-headed feel.
- Beta-caryophyllene: with a spicy, earthy profile, it rounds out the flavor with a peppery touch.
- Beta-myrcene: offers herbal notes and is typical of relaxing strains.
- Limonene: its citrus aroma is refreshing and is linked to an upbeat, cheerful high.
- Linalool: this floral terpene is associated with a mellow, calm character.
- Terpinolene: with a complex aroma blending citrus and flowers, it adds a fresh, layered note.
Together, these terpenes make Bubblegum a treat for the senses and contribute to a complete, enjoyable experience, from a cheerful mood lift to deep relaxation.
Yield and flowering time
Bubblegum shines both indoors and outdoors. Indoors it's known for its efficiency and yield: with a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks, you can expect a generous, high-quality harvest. In the right conditions, Bubblegum can produce 1.5 to 1.8 oz per square foot.
Outdoors, Bubblegum also performs remarkably well. Start your seeds in April and plant out after your last frost for a harvest around mid-October. In these conditions, each healthy plant can produce 32 to 42 oz per plant.
How to grow Bubblegum
Growing Bubblegum is a rewarding experience for beginners and experienced growers alike. Its difficulty is moderate: with a little attention and care, you can get outstanding results.
This strain thrives in mild, sunny climates but also adapts well to controlled indoor setups like a grow tent. Keep daytime temperatures between 68 °F and 81 °F and nighttime temperatures a bit lower, between 59 °F and 72 °F. Bubblegum prefers low humidity: during veg, keep relative humidity between 55% and 60%, drop it to 40% in flower and to 30% in the weeks before harvest.
When it comes to pests and diseases, Bubblegum is tough and resilient, but it always pays to keep an eye out. A high-quality medium with perlite, peat or coco coir helps hold the right amount of moisture and keeps your plants healthy. Indoors, techniques like ScrOG can boost production by spreading light evenly.
