Top 5 Bubble Gum premium alternative strains

Bubble Gum, sometimes known as Bubba Gum or Bubblegum, is an indica dominant hybrid cannabis strain which gained a cult following in the 1990’s. THC levels at around 17% mean that she is slightly more potent than ‘average’ (typical Dutch coffeeshop weed is around 15% THC according to Dutch Government surveys). As well as powerful psychoactive effects and numbing indica-style body effects, many repeat Bubble Gum growers loved the sweet confectionary-like flavours, reminiscent of the taste of bubble gum candy.

Bubble Gum cannabis strain main features

Bubble Gum is an indica dominant hybrid cannabis strain. The precise genetic origins are not completely clear but many believe she was created by crossing Indiana Bubble Gum with an unknown strain. Many Bubble Gum fans rate her sweet taste as one of the most memorable attributes with floral tones and sugary fruity candy flavours.

THC levels are high and the effects are typical of those you would expect from a heavy hitting indica dominant hybrid, subtle sativa effects are present but often slightly outweighed by the indica influences. The powerfully sweet terpene profile and the potent cannabinoid content combine to create a beautiful balanced effect.

Growth of Bubble Gum is steady, with only moderate / average stretch during bloom thanks to the indica genetics. She tends to reach medium-height with heavy side branching. Bubble Gum yields are good and she grows well indoors under a range of grow methods. Originally Bubble Gum was only made in feminized / regular cannabis seeds, not available as autoflower seeds.
