"Her bubble gummy smell and smoke make her such a great plant to work with. But for the grower the real reward is the delightful high and the exquisite taste of Bubble Gum!"
"Plant of the Year 2006"
"Since its 1994 release, Bubble Gum has remained a timeless cannabis evergreen, continuously earning awards despite intense competition."

Strain Description

Legendary for its sweet smell and very euphoric effect and winning more than 13 awards in cannabis competitions, Bubble Gum weed has few branches, sometimes grows in height, and bears compact heads covered with crystals. The seedlings produce very similar plants. It is the only pure variety (so not an F1 hybrid) in the Serious range. Bubble Gum grown outdoors in Spain has won numerous awards, including the FIRST PRIZE Outdoor at the Spannabis Champions Cup in December 2005.

Genetics:

Originally, Bubble Gum was developed by growers in Indiana, USA. From there, the genetics moved to New England and finally to the Netherlands. It took many generations to finally produce this stable Bubble Gum.

The only pure variety (not an F1 hybrid) on the Serious Seeds menu.

Taste and Aroma: 

Bubble Gum weed is recognizable with its characteristic sweet smell (really resembling a typical chewing gum taste). These aromas linger in the mouth and will satisfy the most delicate palates. 

Its Cultivation:

Bubble Gum seeds will delight all amateur/beginner growers as well as the most experienced, thanks to a simple-to-grow genetics! You will be delighted to see long, crystallized trichome buds forming throughout its cultivation.

The stabilized Bubble Gum produces plants with few branches, but which soar during the stretch, be careful in small growing spaces.

It's a strong and beautiful plant that grows a heavy stem, you never need to tie up big buds. The early stages of seedlings can be tender and you need to take a little care at this stage. It's important not to let them be overrun by neighboring plants that can grow faster at the beginning. Once about 2 weeks old, the Bubble Gums will start to pick up speed and grow as fast as other plants. This growth delay can be explained by the fact that BG is an inbred strain and therefore does not have this hybrid vigor effect (faster and stronger growth) of F1 hybrids. 

Its effects:

Bubble Gum weed fundamentally has a strong effect on the physique and a very pleasant euphoric side! Its long-lasting relaxing properties make it a good partner to unwind after a good day's work. 

In a few numbers:

Flowering period: 53 to 63 days or 8 to 9 weeks 

harvest potential: between: 300-450G/M²

In a few words:

Serious Seeds' Bubble Gum is a terpene legend! It will produce shiny and fragrant buds!

The combination of a high THC content and an intoxicating flavor are the original trademarks of this famous strain.

Apart from the Stretch period, there are no difficulties in growing Bubble Gum

Additional Information:

-Bubble Gum seeds grown outdoors in Spain have won numerous awards (13 in total), including the first Outdoor Prize of the Spannabis Champions Cup in December 2005.

-Originally, Bubble Gum weed was developed by growers in Indiana, USA. From there, the genetics moved to New England and finally to the Netherlands. 

-Like several of the varieties in the Serious Seeds seed catalog, Bubble Gum is the origin of many crosses.

A bit of history:

There are several varieties in the world of cannabis genetics whose origin and subsequent selection process are not clear. Growers are particularly confused when a certain variety is offered under the same name by two or more seed banks: who has the original, who has the copies? The Bubblegum variety is a controversial variety, with at least two seed banks offering their own versions, in this case: Serious Seeds and T.H. Seeds (both residing in Amsterdam), not to mention all those bad copies. So, we decided to trace the true roots of Bubble Gum. 

-The two breeders mentioned above ended up with two corresponding versions of the breeding history of Bubble Gum, giving good reasons for the existence of two high-quality Bubble Gum strains: the original seeds were developed by a grower in Indiana (USA) during the 80s. In 1993, this person gave three very different female Bubble Gum plants to Adam of T.H. but also to Simon and Tony (the two separated shortly after, with Simon founding Serious Seeds and Tony Sagarmatha Seeds) of Cerebral Seeds. 

-Bubble Gum therefore arrived in the Netherlands in the hands of three breeders. And from that moment, different new chapters were written in the breeding history of Bubble Gum, its development somehow branched out. Three breeders, three modes of selection: These seed masters were going to make their own special selection from the three different genetic types they had received. Simon reports: “As far as I know, T.H. Seeds worked more with one of these 3 plants than I did”. This is why Adam (the BG from T.H. Seeds will be another story...) considers his Bubble Gum as "mainly indica", while Simon places his version in the "Mostly Sativa" category. He focused his research on two of the three lineages, ultimately deciding on a type that would become his Bubble Gum seed variety.

 It took Simon five generations to reach the desired breeding result, then officially registering it under the name "Bubble Gum".

Bubble Gum Bubble Gum in a pot...

My first time growing the bubble gum strain for a second year grower was good but not great. The reason for me saying that is I believe the plant grew it is self and with all my beginner mistakes, it made it to harvest. With the periodic soil pH issues, I feel it didn it allow the plant to max out it is full potential. However going through the erratic soil pH issue along with the HST/LST, the plant still grew and flowered some decent buds. From what I can remember the smell was lovely and the smoke quality was good however the yield we not where I wanted. Dealing with the growing pains of growing cannabis and learning from the mistakes I ive made in my prior harvest I im definitely looking forward to growing this strain next harvest as I believe there is so much more I can get out of this strain. With that said, stay growing my friend. Never give up. Peace and love from FlowerMan.

100% germination Serious stuff here...

I have been a customer of serious seeds for a long time. Home grower. I have purchased Queen Kali Mist( My favourite high wife says it is good for PMS), AK-47 (Most potent I have grown I think), Double Dutch( first seed I bought from serious seeds in 2004 give or take with the biggest buds I have ever grown. Fatter than my wifes head, grown in a tent, and the nicest terp profile one could ask for) , White Russian Excellent ), Motivation (1st time drying now) Seriosa( Very nice potent sativa hybrid ), Seriotica (Heavy hitter ID, most Trichs on a plant I have ever grown. Smokes like hash.), Bubble gum ( first time, just flipped), Chronic, Serious Happiness ( as advertised), and Strawberry AK.

All seeds but one germinated, and it was my fault for letting the soil dry out. I do help them by removing helmuts and wetting and removing the skin that dries out and prevents the wings spreading. I had serious seeds properly stored in the fridge for at least 7 years, and when I planted six, six grew into beautiful girls. They travelled from NL, to FInland, to Canada.

I use seeds and do not clone because I like the challenge of growing different genotypes in the same grow. I like the challenge and the choice when thinking of vaping some med. Most importantly, I think it is important to support the talent that creates these beautiful and healthy plants for us to grow.

My first and only choice is Serious seeds.

PURE F1 INCREDIBLE TERPS

I was looking for the real/true Bubblegum "Indiana cut" so I bought a pack from Serious seeds.
Got 10 females out of the 11 so it was easy to select my male, in terms of pheno hunt this strain is extremely stable so you can expect an incredible strawberry smell and taste in each and every one, though of course some will be more potent/tasty of course.
I was really surprised by the potency of this Sativa strain and but the gold is in its terpenes which will never fail to amaze you.
Great strain for breeding too, strong branches, fast flowering, nice amount of trichomes and really easy to clone.

Serious Seeds One of the Last Great Seed Companies

This Bubble Gum tastes and smells like the coffee shop strain from all those years ago in marvelous Amsterdam, but is even better because it is stronger, and yields are higher. In general, Serious Seeds only sells the best genetics. Look at the cannabis grower magazine called Growing Marijuana Perfectly dot com (online) to see reviews of Bubble Gum, Kali Mist and other great strains from one of the last great seed companies.
