Why Bubble Gum

It’s the remarkably sweet, candy flavor of this strain that initially sets it apart from other hybrids and marks it as a must-try for smokers and growers alike. But Bubble Gum is more than just tasty weed. This strain is stable, easy to grow, fast to finish, offers a stellar hybrid hit and makes a great cornerstone for any breeding program.

In the grow room amateurs and connoisseurs alike will find Bubble Gum a joy to grow. This Indica heavy strain is easy to manage, responds well to almost any growing technique and flowers in an average of 8 weeks. Her clones root quickly and pruning and training is a breeze.

The effects of Bubble Gum are pure pleasure. The initial hit has a lot of energy and can come on hard and fast, but this soon mellows to an easy euphoria and mental brightness. Your body will feel completely relaxed but not couch-locked. This is a great smoke for easing pain, anxiety and tension without totally knocking you out.

History of Bubble Gum

Like a surprising number of famous strains, including Sour Diesel and Northern Lights, Bubble Gum has its original origins in the states. The first plants came from a grower in Indiana in the 80’s. He gave three different phenotypes of his sweet tasting strain to three different growers: Adam, of TH Seeds, Simon of Serious Seeds and Tony of Sagarmatha Seeds. The breeders at TH Seeds and Serious Seeds proceeded to spend a lot of time breeding, crossing, inbreeding and refining the strains that they would later release as Bubble Gum.

While the exact heritage of the original Bubble Gum plants is not certain, most agree that the dominant parent is an Afghan Indica. TH Seeds crossed their Bubble Gum with more Indica lines, and ended up with an Indica dominant strain. Serious Seeds added Sativa genes to the mix, specifically using plants from Mexico and Colombia. Bubble Gum is the only inbred strain they offer, and is exceptionally uniform in growth and effects.

The early work on Bubble Gum all took place in Holland, but under the care of two different breeders, each with a distinct and unique vision. The result is that there are two basic hybrid families of Bubble Gum strains now available: the narcotic, medicinally potent varieties derived from the TH Seeds strain and the euphoric, leggy types that trace their origins to Serious Seeds.

Fortunately both breeders saw the value of the uniquely sweet and powerful flavor of the original Bubble Gum plants, and strove to preserve that taste in their final products. As you’ll see the Bubble Gum varieties are actually very similar in flavor and in their behavior in the grow room.

Growing Bubble Gum

Even the Sativa heavy strains of Bubble Gum retain traits inherited from their strong Afghan landrace grandparent, making these robust, straightforward plants in the grow room. They tolerate a wide range of growing conditions and thrive under most any technique. You can successfully grow her in soil, though hydro systems like deep water culture, drip irrigation or ebb and flow can help boost yields.

Often Bubble Gum seedlings will take a little longer to get going than other strains. Don’t worry if they seem to be stuck in the early stages of vegging. Keep them from being overshadowed by other plants and protect them from pests and they will soon surprise you with a burst of vigorous growth.

Feeding Bubble Gum

Most Bubble Gum strains and their offspring are tolerant of a range of nutrient levels. You should always start at the lowest level recommended on your nutrient label. It is quite likely that your plants won’t need any more than this. Outdoor and indoor growers alike have had great success with these strains. You can use nutrient rich soil indoors or out, or input nutrients into a hydroponic system.

There are a few general feeding rules you can follow to keep your Bubble Gum plants growing happily:

• Don’t overfeed: You can do more damage to these plants by giving them too many nutrients than too few. Keep a careful eye for signs of nutrient burn throughout the grow.
• Keep your nutrient ratio balanced: If you decide to decrease nitrogen for Bubble Gum be sure to reduce potassium and phosphorus levels accordingly or you could cause nutrient lockout and other problems.
• Increase phosphorus during flowering: Your plants need an extra boost of phosphorus to grow heavy, THC rich buds.
• Flush your plants before harvest: Switch to pure water during the last week to 10 days before harvest to clear any residual nutrients from your buds. You want to maximize that sweet bubble gum taste, and lingering nutrients will mar it with a chemical bitterness that could ruin the product of all your hard work.

Lights for Bubble Gum

If you don’t have a secluded or safe garden for an outdoor grow, you will need to choose the proper lights for your indoor Bubble Gum grow. The two best options are full spectrum LEDs or HID lights. There are pros and cons to both choices:

• 1. Full Spectrum LED Grow Lights

• 2. HID Lights

Many growers choose HID lights, usually using a combination of Metal Halide lights for the vegetative stage and High Pressure Sodium lights for flowering. They are less expensive to purchase initially full spectrum LEDs, and have been used successfully for indoor grows for many years. The biggest concern you should have with HID lights is the heat they put off. You will need to adjust the lights frequently, especially during flowering when some Bubble Gum strains like to stretch. They can grow surprisingly fast, and if you don’t take care to adjust your lights accordingly you could burn your plants. To learn more about HID lighting, check out our guide here.

Full Spectrum LEDs, while more expensive than HID lights, offer several advantages that are rapidly making them the most popular choice for indoor grows. They offer light in the full PAR (Photosynthetically Available Radiation) Spectrum, so your plants have all the wavelengths of light they need during both vegging and flowering. Perhaps their most endearing trait is that they save easily 50% on electric costs when compared to HID lights needed for the same square footage of plants. Finally, they don’t get hot, so you don’t have to worry about scorching your plants or providing extra ventilation. To learn more about LEDs check out our guide here.

Training Bubble Gum

Most Bubble Gum strains show a lot of Indica characteristics in the grow room. They typically show a large central cola and some productive upper limbs but in general show very little branching. The strains with more Sativa influence like to stretch upwards during flowering and can become quite tall, but do not take up much space horizontally.

Her shape makes Bubble Gum ideal for the Dutch techniques of Sea of Green and Screen of Green. These growing styles require you to set a large number of plants to flowering early, encouraging them to grow closely together and focus their energy on that big central cola. You need more plants for these techniques, so consider implementing them after you take clones from your favorite Bubble Gum mother.

Pruning can help Bubble Gum increase yields by focusing the plant’s energy on the buds and not the leaves. Even gentle trimming of the lower leaves during flowering can boost yields, though more aggressive growers may choose a full lollipopping trim with good results.

While Bubble Gum does not require much training, she does respond well to a variety of techniques. Here are some you could try. Pick one that will help shape the plants to suit the growing space you have available.

• Topping– Trimming the top of the bud just as flowering begins will multiply the number of flowering heads.
• Fimming– This is like extreme topping. Cut even more off and you can multiply your flowering heads from 1 to 4 at each site.
• Low Stress Training (LST)– This technique requires you to bend branches and tie them to the side, allowing more light in to the center for increased growth.
• Super Cropping– Super Cropping works by stressing the plants, causing them to grow vigorously in an attempt to overcome a perceived threat.
• Monster Cropping– This technique works great when coupled with Sea of Green and Screen of Green set-ups. Monster Cropping can create multiple heads on each plant.

Growing Bubble Gum Outdoors

The Afghan cannabis from which Bubble Gum was originally bred thrived for centuries in dry climates with fluctuating temperatures and often unpredictable rainfall. The result is a hardy plant that produces heavy, resinous buds quickly and can tolerate a great range of conditions.

Most outdoor growers in temperate climates will find Bubble Gum an easy addition to their gardens. The only exception is those living in particularly humid and wet regions. Bubble Gum is not overly resistant to mold, and too much humidity, especially late in flowering when her buds are becoming dense, can lead to bud rot.

For a successful outdoor grow, choose an area with fertile soil that receives plenty of sunlight. Unless it is a drought year, you should not need to supply much water after the first 2-3 weeks. Remember, this is a tough strain that is used to fending for itself.

There are several different versions of Bubble Gum available from various seedbanks. Be sure to choose one that suits your needs. For instance, if stealth is necessary for an outdoor guerilla grow, you might choose the short, stocky Bubblegum XL from Royal Queen or the small Auto Bubble Gum from 00 Seeds.

Bubble Gum from Various Breeders

Serious Seeds and TH Seeds may have the oldest strains of Bubble Gum, but many other seedbanks have used their genetics to produce similar strains with the classic pink bubble gum flavor.

#1 Serious – Bubble Gum Seeds

Serious added some Sativa fire to their Bubble Gum, giving the strain a euphoric mental high which, coupled with its sweet candy flavor have made it a lasting favorite amongst growers and smokers alike.

There are two phenotypes you may see when growing this strain from Serious. The first is narrow and tall with very little branching. The seedbank recommends trimming these plants as they will tend to stretch and grow tall during flowering. Trim them up neatly and set them to early flowering in a SOG set-up and you’ll see the best results.

The other shape you may see is a shorter, bushier plant with more lateral branches. These will benefit from a longer vegetative period and little training or pruning.

Serious suggests soil instead of hydro for growing this strain indoors. The diverse trace nutrients available in quality soil provide the stems with extra strength to hold up under the heavy buds.

The high is creative, clear and has a soaring mental aspect. There are still enough mellow body effects to ease pain and massage the stress from your muscles. For flavorful, easy growing cannabis with a first rate high, you can’t pick a better option than Bubble Gum.

The high is more powerful than in the original Bubblegum or Blueberry. It is a pleasant combination of cheerful mental high and buzzy body stone. This is great hybrid weed for unwinding and letting go of stress.

#8 Sagarmatha – Boulder Bubblegum Feminized Seeds

Best For: Good Yield, Hybrid Hit

You may recall that the founder of Sagarmatha Seeds used to work with the breeder at Serious Seeds, and received one of the three original Indiana Bubble Gum plants. Boulder Bubblegum is one of the offspring of that clone. Like the Serious Bubble Gum strain, Sagarmatha’s leans towards the Sativa side.

It is possible to see both Sativa and Indica phenotypes from these seeds. Both flower for around 9 weeks, and yield 500g/m², making this a profitable strain to grow. Most individuals will stay under 4 feet in height.

#10 Big Buddha – Bubble Cheese Feminized Seeds

Best For: Bizarre and tasty flavor

Big Buddha combined two powerful taste sensations in Bubble Cheese. But if truth be told, it was a bit of an accident. They had crossed a Bubble Gum plant with Exodus Cheese, and the result was cloned. The clone was accidently crossed with a reversed Bubba Kush, resulting in Bubble Cheese.

This is a strain we would recommend trying sometime, just for the incredibly unique flavor it has. Bubblegum, cheese and the hashy taste of kush are all present, making for a really wild party on your taste buds.

While the flavor is amazing, in the grow room this strain is nothing special. The yields are low, and it is not as potent as many other options. The high is a heavy Indica stone.

If you do give her a shot, be careful not to over fertilize and keep a sharp eye out for mold. Lots of ventilation or a dry climate will help this strain to thrive.

• Type : Indica Dominant
• Height : Medium
• Flowering time : 8-10 Weeks
• Awards won : None
• Yield : Low
• Feminized : Yes
• Autoflowering : No
• Growth difficulty : Moderate

Conclusion

Bubblegum is another classic strain whose defining characteristics were discovered in the states and refined in Holland. You can find Indica or Sativa dominant strains, with differences in physical and mental effects of the smoke. While there are variations in type of growth, yield and hit, all Bubblegum strains are hardy, robust growers with a powerful flavor. They thrive indoors and produce heavy, dense buds in soil or hydro. The sugary fruit flavor is undeniably delicious. After the first puff you will feel like a kid, standing outside the soda fountain munching on a big wad of pink bubblegum. For all you growers who are really just big kids (and who among us isn’t?) give Bubble Gum a grow.
