Bazooka Joe
Also known as: Bazooka Joe G, Bazooka Bumble
Bazooka Joe Strain Overview
Bazooka Joe is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive bubblegum-like aroma and flavor profile. Originally bred by Archive Seed Bank in Portland, Oregon, this strain is a genetic cross between Indiana Bubblegum and Face Off OG. The strain traces its roots to cross country pioneers who moved from Indiana in the 1990s to grow their legendary Bubblegum strain in Humboldt County, where it garnered a local reputation as the best sweet dank herb available. Named for its tangy chewing gum-like aroma rather than for a high-powered machine gun, Bazooka Joe may also be a phenotype descended from the Indiana-born Bubblegum strain.
The strain is characterized by solidly-formed flowers that range from medium to quite large, with a loose, fluffy structure more associated with sativa genetics despite its indica dominance, featuring yellowish-green leaves with relatively few orange pistils. Users describe the buds as having beautiful purple coloring with abundant crystals. The primary trait that consumers adore is its sweet, candy-like flavor similar to bubble gum, which is essential to its appeal as a strain. Despite its moderate THC levels ranging from 13% to 18%, Bazooka Joe delivers well-balanced physical and mental effects alongside its trademark scent.

Bazooka Joe Strain Growing Information
Bazooka Joe is relatively easy to grow but produces low yields, with a flowering time of 60-70 days. The strain does well in both indoor and outdoor facilities and doesn't require much space. It's described as a hardy, earlier finishing hybrid that's well suited for most lower latitudes with a season that stretches into the middle of October. Plants are very branchy with heavy buds. Indoor yields are generally low and flowering time averages 63-70 days under ideal conditions. Seeds are not available for sale online, so home gardeners should seek out mature plants for cloning. Clones can thrive indoors or outdoors but outdoor success requires a semi-humid climate with consistent daylight and high temperatures.
