Bubblegum Cannabis Seeds

Bubblegum Cannabis Seeds

I still remember cracking my first jar of Bubblegum — thought someone had left a strawberry Hubba Bubba in the tent. She’s that loud. Since the ’90s, this hybrid queen has been turning heads with her candy-sweet terps, chunky yields, and feel-good high. Keen for a stash that smells like your childhood sweet shop? Bubblegum seeds in Australia are the ticket.

Quick Stats

Bubblegum is a slightly indica-leaning hybrid at around 60/40 indica/sativa. She packs THC levels of 17–20%, finishes flowering in just 8–9 weeks, and drops 450–550 g/m² indoors or 600–700 g per plant outdoors. Matty’s Take: “She’s a retro lolly bag in bud form — sweet, sticky, and still kicking like it’s 1995.”

The Legend

Born from a mysterious Indiana cut in the early ’90s, Bubblegum became the blueprint for candy-flavoured cannabis. After being refined in Dutch breeding houses, she cemented herself as a multi-cup winner and a global favourite. Unlike many “dessert” strains that came later, Bubblegum is pure old-school fire — a balanced high with a flavour that’s instantly recognisable. Matty’s Anecdote: “First time I cracked a jar, I thought someone had dropped a strawberry Hubba Bubba in there. Fair dinkum, the smell fills the room before you even break up a bud.”

Flavour & Aroma

Sweet, candy-like terps dominate, with strawberry, berry, and a faint floral note on the inhale. Underneath is a subtle earthy base that rounds it out. The cured bud smells like you’ve opened a lolly bag, and the smoke leaves a syrupy sweetness on the tongue that lingers long after the exhale. Matty’s Take: “She’s all sugar rush up front, then finishes with a smooth floral slide.”

Effects & What to Expect

Bubblegum’s high is as classic as her flavour — upbeat, creative, and mellow without being heavy.

First wave → A happy, euphoric lift that puts a grin on your face and a spark in your brain.

Then it settles → A balanced calm creeps in, loosening the body without knocking you flat.

Final vibe → Content, chilled, and ready to enjoy music, art, or a relaxed yarn. Matty’s Take: “It’s like cracking a cold one with mates — all good vibes, no dramas.”

How I Grow Bubblegum (Matty’s Way)

Skill Level: Beginner–Intermediate

She’s not tricky, but she rewards care. Bubblegum likes consistent conditions — stable temps, moderate feeding, and decent airflow. Indoors, topping and LST open her up beautifully. Outdoors in Australia, plant early and she’ll thrive in sunny spots, finishing neatly in March–April. Watch RH late in flower — her dense buds can attract mould if you slack on airflow.

Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: Soil pH 6.0–6.5; coco/hydro 5.8–6.2. EC around 1.6–1.8 in peak flower. Flush 10–14 days for that clean, candy finish.

📅 Grow Log: Inside the Tent

Phase/Week	Key Action/Status	Matty’s Tip
Weeks 1–3	Seedling / Early Veg	Keep temps steady. Early training sets the stage. Risk: stretching if light’s too weak.
Weeks 4–6	Veg	Topping + LST build a wide canopy. Risk: overfeeding — she’s not greedy.
Weeks 7–9	Flower	Candy terps peak. Keep RH low to dodge mould. Risk: bud rot in thick colas.
Week 10+	Flush / Harvest	10–14 day flush. Trichomes go cloudy/amber. Risk: chopping early dulls flavour.

🔬 Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)

• Terpenes: Myrcene (earthy/relaxing) • Caryophyllene (spicy) • Limonene (citrus uplift).
• Lighting: Flower sweet spot ~700–900 μmol/m²/s.
• VPD & RH: Target VPD 1.2–1.4 kPa in flower. Keep RH 45–50% late.
• Training: Topping + LST boost yield. She’s forgiving of shaping if done early.

🚫 Mythbusting

Myth: “Old-school strains can’t compete with modern dessert crosses.”   Truth (Matty): “Bubblegum walked so Gelato and the rest could run. She’s still packing candy terps and yield 30 years later.”

Myth: “Photoperiods take too long to grow and aren’t worth the wait.”   Truth (Matty): “Nah, she’s a proper marathon runner—you put in a little extra time and you get big yields and better bag appeal at the finish line.”

Myth: “She’s a tricky diva who needs constant attention to get those sweet terps.”   Truth (Matty): “She’s a proven, stable old girl. Just get the basics right and she’ll deliver. She’s a lot more forgiving than her legendary status might suggest.”
