Legendary for its bubblegum sweet smell and euphoric high. Bubble Gum grows into a medium tall plant, usually not too branchy (sometimes tall) and produces compact, crystal covered buds. Plants grown from seeds are very similar to one another. Originally the Bubble Gum-strain was developed by growers in Indiana, USA. Later those original genetics came to the Netherlands and were given to two different seed companies. Each created their own ‘original Bubble Gum’ from that genetic material. The Serious Seeds Bubble Gum is more sativa like in looks and effect, a sturdy and strong plant, with the characteristic, sweet smell (truly resembling a typical bubble gum taste) and euphoric high; the original trademarks of this famous strain. The only inbred strain (not a F1 hybrid) on the Serious menu. Bubble Gum has won 10 awards in High Times Cannabis Cups and similar festivals. In 2004 and 2005 it won 5 local and national Cups in Spain alone! In 2006 the Bubble Gum received its best award; it was named ‘Plant of the year’ by magazine ‘Soft Secrets’, because many Spanish growers won in local competitions in that year with the same plant: Bubble Gum.
Strain FAQ
What are IBL cannabis strain pros and cons?
To accurately produce IBL strains, special legal growing conditions and attention are said to be required. Those that are dedicated enough are said to be able to yield cannabis with unrivalled effects, flavour, and strength.
How did Bubblegum get its flavour?
From Indiana in the 1970s to the Netherlands in the 1990s, Bubblegum's sweet, bubblegum flavour was perfected through dedication and time. Its breeders spent generations perfecting it to capture that iconic bubblegum taste and strong effects.
As days shorten, how do these strains manage light efficiency?
They maximise light during late summer and early autumn's shorter days. This is said to allow them to produce high yields even as daylight decreases.
What makes people say that indoor Sativa cultivation can be difficult?
Due to their height and long flowering time, Sativas are said to be harder to grow indoors. This has led to inventive cultivation and plant training methods to squeeze cannabis skyscrapers into smaller indoor spaces without sacrificing yield.
Are North American and Canadian breeders responsible for auto-flowering strains?
North American and Canadian breeders pioneered the use of Russian and Central Asian Cannabis ruderalis genetics in photoperiod strains. This crossbreeding has developed auto-flowering cultivars that flower depending on age rather than light exposure, a major development for shorter growing seasons.
