Bon Bons
Also known as: Bon Bon, BonBon
Overview
Bon Bons is a balanced hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Gelato #41 and Triangle Kush, developed by 1904 Genetics. The strain emerged as part of the modern candy-forward cannabis movement, reflecting a mission to blend artisanal cannabis breeding techniques with modern genetic research. According to cultivation documentation, over 15 breeding cycles were performed before finalizing Bon Bons, underscoring the strain's well-documented journey from concept to a market-ready product.
The strain showcases a mix of lush green shades, often highlighted by patches of deep purple and vibrant orange pistils, with a generous layer of trichomes blankets the buds, adding a frosty and glistening quality. Genetic analysis suggests that the strain could be composed of roughly 70% sativa genetics, hinting at a heritage designed to deliver cerebral stimulation, though market classifications often list it as a balanced hybrid. The buds demonstrate dense, round formation that are light to dark green in color with hints of purple throughout, with plentiful trichomes giving the buds a frosty appearance.

Growing Information
Bon Bons is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate difficulty. The strain has a flowering time of 70-80 days (approximately 10-11 weeks) and can reach heights of 5-8 feet, requiring adequate vertical space. Indoor yields range from 400-500 grams per square meter (approximately 21 oz/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 21+ ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in Mediterranean-like warm, sunny climates and prefers temperatures between 68-78°F with 50-60% humidity. Training methods like LST (Low Stress Training) are recommended to maximize light penetration and yields. Harvest window is typically late September to early October for outdoor grows.
