Bubblegum Kush
Bubblegum Kush
Also known as: Bubble Gum Kush
Overview
Bubblegum Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created by crossing the classic Bubblegum strain with an undisclosed Kush variety. Originally developed by Bulldog Seeds in the Netherlands, this strain has become a favorite among both recreational and medical users for its distinctive sweet bubblegum flavor profile and deeply relaxing effects. The strain emerged during the modern cannabis breeding boom as cultivators sought to combine the nostalgic sweetness of Bubblegum with the potent, body-melting characteristics of Kush genetics. Bubblegum Kush features dense, resin-coated buds with vibrant green leaves, bright orange pistils, and a thick layer of crystalline trichomes that make the buds notably sticky and difficult to break apart by hand. The strain is particularly renowned for its high resin production, making it popular among hash makers and concentrate producers. Despite being indica-dominant, Bubblegum Kush offers a balanced experience that begins with an uplifting euphoric onset before transitioning into profound physical relaxation.

Growing Information
Bubblegum Kush is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8 weeks (56-63 days) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in early to mid-October. Plants grow to medium height (1.2-1.5m indoors, 1.5-1.8m outdoors) with a compact, bushy structure and few lateral branches. Yields are notably high, producing 400-500 grams per square meter indoors (24-26 oz/m²) and up to 30+ ounces per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, semi-humid climates with temperatures between 70-85°F (20-30°C) and responds well to hydroponics, SOG, and ScrOG growing methods. Due to dense, heavy buds, branches may require support during late flowering to prevent breakage.
