A fiercely fruity weed you can grow with little effort.
Bubblegum is a hybrid of Indiana Bubblegum with an unspecified Indica. Originally developed in The Hoosier State, the weed was eventually taken to New England and then the Netherlands for some genetic fine-tuning. Several generations of expert crossing resulted in a strain that will ultimately win twice in the High Times Cannabis Cup and Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup.
Bubblegum shares a smooth and distinct Bazooka gum-like flavor that brings to mind nostalgic childhood memories. Every hit elevates the mood and relaxes the body until a state of couch-potato euphoria is reached. The strain also gets creative juices flowing and improves the appetite with the munchies. Providing the medicinal benefits of around 17% THC, the flower is most often used for relieving stress, pain, insomnia, and eating disorders.
Apart from having sought-after effects, Bubblegum is also a marijuana grower’s dream come true. It’s a generous, beginner-friendly weed that cannabis gardeners of all skill levels can successfully cultivate. Those growing to achieve unseeded buds, also known as sensimilla, will have a much easier time with feminized and autoflower seeds, while regular seeds are for breeders and traditional growers.

Bubble gum is a superb all-rounder. The easy-to-grow strain displays consistent growth and clones well, making it ideal for cultivation in a Sea of Green garden. The plant also flourishes under the care of both inexperienced and skilled hands, as well as in any medium, whether it is quality soil or hydroponics.
Growing Bubblegum produces buds that define strong bag appeal — addictingly fragrant, large, rock hard, and encrusted in shimmering crystals. The flowers’ solidness means that one nug can go a long, long way, but it also means the plant needs protection from rainfall or weather fluctuations to prevent mold production in the compact buds.
Regular and feminized seeds produce a medium-tall Bubblegum. Cultivating this strain in a climate-controlled environment yields about 450 grams per square meter. It spends 7 to 9 weeks sprouting and fattening up the buds.
Growing outdoors, Bubblegum produces up to 400 grams per plant. It needs to stay warm and dry, as well as receive plenty of sunshine to share such crop size. The flowers should be ready for harvest in the northern hemisphere by mid to late October.
Bubblegum prefers temperatures between 20 to 27°C (68 to 80°F). Feed higher amounts of phosphorus to promote bud development, then flush the nutrients out two weeks or a couple of days before harvest to enhance the flowers’ flavors.
The autoflowering Bubblegum only grows between 70 to 90 cm indoors. Although tiny, it can produce up to 350 grams per square meter in a Sea of Green set up with at least 18 hours of light. The strain can reach around 100 to 130 cm tall and share about 100 to 130 per plant when grown outside. The best outdoor harvest can be achieved between July and October in the northern hemisphere.
Bubblegum Auto has strong resilience against common pests and diseases that affect cannabis plants. The plant can grow in any climate, except when there’s frost, but raising it in favorable conditions improves bud and resin production. Unlike most autoflowers, this strain is a heavy feeder, so make sure to give high amounts of nutrients.
What are the easiest ways to germinate cannabis seeds?
The first step in growing cannabis is to germinate the seeds. Germination is the process of waking up the seed and getting it ready to grow. There are a few different ways to do this, but some methods are easier than others. One of the easiest ways to germinate cannabis seeds is to simply place them between two damp paper towels. Put the paper towels in a warm, dark place, and check on them every day or so to make sure they stay moist. After a few days, you should see the seeds start to split open and tiny roots begin to emerge. Another easy way to germinate cannabis seeds is to plant them in a small pot of well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and provide plenty of indirect light. You should see healthy seedlings poking through the soil in just a week or two. These are just two of the many ways to germinate cannabis seeds. With a bit of patience and care, you can be on your way to growing healthy plants in no time.
What are the benefits of using the Sea of Green technique on my Bubblegum plants, and how to do it?
The Sea of Green, or SOG, is a cultivation technique for cannabis that involves planting a large number of small plants close together. The goal is to produce a dense canopy of foliage that minimizes the amount of light that reaches the lower leaves. This encourages the plants to focus their energy on producing buds rather than leaves. As a result, SOG is an effective way to maximize yield while minimizing the amount of time and effort required for maintenance. In addition, SOG is well-suited for indoor grows, as it can help reduce the risk of mold and mildew by increasing air circulation. To achieve a thriving Sea of Green, start planting your seedlings in small pots or trays. Transplant them into their final growing space once they have grown to a few inches tall. Keep in mind that each plant will need its own individual pot or container. Once they are in their final space, you will need to monitor them carefully and trim away any leaves that are blocking light from reaching the buds. With a bit of patience and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of top-quality cannabis using the Sea of Green technique.
Should I be wary of excess moisture in the grow room? What can I do to avoid moisture accumulation?
Excessive moisture is one of the most common problems faced by cannabis growers. Too much moisture can lead to various problems, including mold growth, nutrient deficiencies, and root rot. Fortunately, growers can take a few simple steps to prevent excessive moisture accumulation in their plants. One of the most important things to do is to choose a well-ventilated grow room. Good airflow will help keep the air dry and reduce the risk of mold growth. Another critical step is to water your plants early in the day so that the leaves have time to dry before nightfall. Finally, make sure to keep an eye on the humidity levels in your grow room and take action if the level starts to rise too high. By following these simple tips, you can help to ensure that your plants stay healthy and free from excessive moisture.
