Mona Lisa x Bubblegum

Mona Lisa x Bubblegum from TH Seeds is a dark, candy-heavy resin cross with old-school BubbleGum sweetness running through a modern colourful line. It is available as feminised seeds and carries a balanced 55% sativa and 45% indica profile, so the appeal is not just yield or looks; it also has a relaxed, creative character rather than a flat, sleepy finish.

The named cross is Mona Lisa x Original BubbleGum, with the wider genetic make-up listed as Black Apple x London Pound Cake 75 x Kushmints 11 x Original Bubblegum. Mona Lisa brings the darker colour, strong frame and heavy resin production, while Original BubbleGum adds the familiar sweet bubblegum backbone. That old-school BubbleGum note is the bit many people will recognise, but the darker Black Apple influence gives this version a more modern look, with deep purple to near-black phenotypes possible in late flower.

The flavour is bold and sweet without being one-note. Expect green candy apple first, followed by sweet bubblegum, blueberry syrup and cotton candy, with a light mint finish. TH Seeds also highlights a long-lasting, mouth-coating candy aftertaste after a proper cure. If you like dessert-style profiles but want a bit of sharp green apple and mint around the edges, this has more going on than plain sugar.

Visually, Mona Lisa x Bubblegum can be very striking. Some plants develop deep purple, dark red and almost black tones towards the end of flowering, sitting under dense trichome coverage. The buds are described as dense, resin-coated and produced from top to bottom, with a strong flower-to-leaf ratio. That makes it attractive both for jar appeal and for growers who care about resin as much as flower weight.

Plant style and flowering

This is an easy to moderate variety to grow, suited to cultivators who want a sturdy plant with manageable flowering behaviour. Plants usually reach around 110–160 cm and grow with a balanced frame, good lateral branching and a wide indoor-friendly canopy. After switching to flowering, expect around 2x to 2.5x stretch, so it is not tiny, but it remains workable indoors with a bit of planning.

Flowering time is 9 weeks. Indoor yield is listed at 550–650 g per square metre, with reliable production from top to bottom. TH Seeds recommends topping once in vegetative growth, using LST to open the canopy, and cleaning lower branches to improve airflow. It also performs well in SCROG setups. Outdoors, bending and spreading the branches is recommended for wider production.

The resin production is a key reason to look at this one. Heavy trichome coverage and a rich candy terpene profile make Mona Lisa x Bubblegum a strong option for Ice-O-Lator, bubble hash, dry sift and rosin pressing. TH Seeds points to heavy resin returns with strong flavour retention, so the extraction appeal is tied to both resin output and terpene quality.

Effect and cure

The effect is described as creative, relaxed and super mellow, with elevated mood, smooth euphoria and body calm. The 55% sativa side keeps it mentally bright enough for music, creative projects or easy social time, while the 45% indica side gives it a softer, calmer finish. It is also presented as suitable for an evening wind-down without heavy sedation.

Drying for 12–14 days and curing for a further 14–20 days is recommended to bring out the green candy apple, blueberry syrup, bubblegum sweetness and that lingering mouth-coating finish. Mona Lisa x Bubblegum suits growers who want BubbleGum nostalgia, dark modern colour and serious resin production in one line.
