Bubblegum is a true old-school classic. Its story began with growers in Indiana, before the genetics found their way to the Netherlands, where years of selection produced the stable, unmistakably sweet gumball character that made it famous. Growers Choice offers it in feminized form.
This strain is 80% Indica / 20% Sativa with THC at 17-20%. That is a substantial but not overwhelming level, which makes Bubblegum a refreshing choice for anyone who values flavor and mood over brute strength.
Plants grow medium tall and usually are not very branchy, producing compact, crystal-covered buds. Indoors, flowering takes about 8 weeks and yields can reach up to 800 g/m² (2.62 oz/ft²). Outdoors, plants grow to 120-180 cm (47-71 in) and return 100-300 g (3.5-10.6 oz) each, with harvest in the second week of October.
Bubblegum grows indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, and fills the room with a candy-shop sweetness from mid-bloom onward.
Flavor and Effects: Pure Gumball Sweetness
Bubblegum does exactly what its name promises. The flavor is very sweet, like a fresh pink gumball, with a soft fruity undertone and a smooth, creamy finish. It is simple, nostalgic, and hard to forget.
Opening a jar is like lifting the lid on an old candy-store gumball machine, with that sugary cloud hitting you before you even pick a color.
The effect is warm and euphoric. The mood brightens and the edges of the day soften, while the strong indica base gently relaxes the body without overpowering the mind.
Cured properly for a few weeks, the buds keep that bubblegum sweetness remarkably well, and the smoke stays smooth and light on the throat. It is a strain that makes people smile on the first pull, which explains why it has stayed popular for decades while trends have come and gone.
With THC in the 17-20% range, Bubblegum is ideal for relaxed evenings, laid-back social sessions, or anyone who prefers a cheerful, manageable high to a knockout punch.
Growing Bubblegum
Because Bubblegum is usually not very branchy and grows medium tall, it works very well in a sea of green: run many small plants with a short veg so each one forms a single, chunky main cola. With fewer plants, topping once and some LST help create more productive tops.
Indoor flowering takes about 8 weeks. The compact buds are coated in crystals, so keep humidity moderate and airflow steady in the final weeks to protect the tight flowers. A carbon filter will keep that sweet aroma under control.
Outdoors or in a greenhouse, Bubblegum reaches 120-180 cm (47-71 in). Give it a sunny, sheltered spot and plan for harvest in the second week of October. A rain cover or greenhouse in late season helps protect the compact flowers from autumn damp.
