Bubblegum- what strains was it created from?

[VirginHarvester]

I've searched strain guides and reports but still have no idea what Bubblegum really is. It's supposed to be euphoric and medicinal and so I guess it's an indica but does anyone know from what strains it was created?

Another way of asking what I'm trying to find out- if you had a Blueberry, Afghani(Maple Leaf Indica), Northern Lights #5, and Chitral Kush, is there an effect the Bubblegum high has that none of those strains come can compare to?

Thanks.

I'm was wondering the same thing the other day. The strain lineage sticky has it listed as Big Skunk x NL#5 but that seems less than accurate/reliable. I've smoked some local Bubblegum before and it seemed to have a more indica dominant high but it is definitely not a couchlock strain. I'm curious if anyone has more insight into how it was bred than the vague parentage in the strain lineage thread.

Also both THSeeds and Serious Seeds have a Bubblegum. Which one is the real Bubblegum or are they essentially the same? Is THSeeds' really "The Original Bubblegum"?

if u got blueberry just stick with that, if u enjoy it.

why waste time, energy, money searching for that elusive
best thing ?

I'm trying to build up a stock and not have to order for again for a while. I haven't grown the Blueberry yet. A couple strains I'm not ordering but really sound good are Bubblegum, Bogbubble, Purple Kush, and Love Potion 1.1. I wish I had the jack to do it all but I don't. I'll have a good skunk and Colombian Gold too so maybe if I get good enough I can make some crosses that at least mimmick the effects of some of those strains. I am putting the cart before the horse as they say since I haven't grown out what I have.

The high of Bubblegum is very very similar to Blueberry. They are both euphoric, slightly indica leaning, non-paranoia, and taste as good as any strain out there.

There is no reason not to add bomb strains. I've got 30, and trust me, at least 15 are elites that y'all love to have. The rest are stuff like C99xGDP and Lemon Diesel. You can have a lot of a good thing.

I've been growing "OGbubblegum" for 5 years now...

I've grown many variations of bubblegum but none I've tried or grown
has been superior to her. Bubblegum has that classic indica/sativa high that comes on quick, hitting you right behind the eyes after just a hit or two. Her taste is so exotic and sickly sweet, almost like a purple but not really comparable as it's a very fruity strain. The high is long-lasting and strong, creative and fun, totally positive pot! She is easy to grow, yields well, she BEATS EVERYTHING I've run in the resin department by miles, she's FAST at 45-55 days being ripe, though most take her to 60-65 to complete resin heaven, she's POTENT, she's that giggly-first-time-high kind of stone.... She's my favorite for a GOOD REASON!

Here's a picture of my OGbubblegum grown by me.

Hope everyone enjoys the Bubblegum one day as much as I do!!!

edit: by the way, TH Seeds "The Original Bubblegum" is shit... it tasted like lemon, absolutely no bubblegum flavor at ALL.... a friend of mine grew the Serious version as well and found some nice plants but nothing close to this OGbubblegum. My advice to you is to get a clone of bubblegum as opposed to trying to pop seeds. My OGbubblegum is an S1 of BOGs Original Bubblegum mother. I have passed her to some people on the boards, maybe you will come across her one day.

What the genetic make-up is, I don't know, but the THS & Serious offerings both originate from the Indiana Bubblegum clone (the real "OG" Bubblegum). THS Bubblegum is half of the make up of Sensi WHL's Double Gum. Double Gum was the Bubblegum used by BOG. GP is growing an S1 of Double Gum.

fckn awsome! looks almost kushy, i like em to finnish fast

grapepunched: Beautiful plant. Thanks for all the background info on this strain. I might still try to get a pack of the Serious Seeds version of Bubblegum and hope to get something representative although from the looks of it the clone (or one of BOG's crosses) are the way to go.

bubblegum serious seeds

bubblegum serious seeds

this serious seeds version of the bubblegum is very nice i also was wondering the make up of the bubblgum have been running this for about a year now lovely smoke very nice bag appeal i agree with nick 11 on the high of the gum by the way lovely shots that bubblgum looks very very nice jwp amazing shots


some shots of last run cheers our kid

 

[Yeosti]

As posted before it's a NL x Bigskunk hybrid !

wow grapepunched

thats a great picture of a mighty fine looking plant.

respect to ya

Come'on guys! BG is a well known old school strain. Origins go back to Indiana/Kentucky Bubblegum, of unknown/underground heritage. Another one of the midwestern strains like the HOG. The THC cut is from Indiana. Probably a skunk, but what fruity flavor isn't? Take it for what it is and run with it!

That purpl cut is WAY different then any BG cut I've seen though.

GP is growing an S1 of Double Gum.

If that were true I could order a $25 pack of White Label's Double Gum and get the same result/high as GP's plant? I'm not disputing you just that the high GP describes is perfect and I've never heard anyone rave about WL's Double Gum and if a plant could produce that I think a lot of people would be talking about it. I would certainly order it if that were true. White Label's pic of DG doesn't look remotely similar to GP's plant- not that you can always trust those pics either. But I am going to order and would be making a mistake to not include WL's BG if that's what GP is actually growing.

 

[grapepunched]

I am not growing an S1 of WL Double Gum....
BOG IBL'd (inbred) the double gum numerous times, producing a line
that was true to the characteristics he was selecting for...
thus producing after generations upon generations of selections, his own line...
BOG was a special breeder of the bubblegum, unmatched as far as I'm concerned...
Though I have seen and smoked other tasty bubblegum clones, such as mmz's bubblegum, which was very sweet and hashy, tasting very similar to the the sweet pink bubblegum flavor of this bubblegum... this bubblegum literally has pink and purple buds after harvest/cure...

To say this is merely an S1 of Double Gum is kinda misleading...
However, if you made proper selections and had access to the
same Double Gum BOG did (not sure if recipe is the same now as
it was when BOG worked with it so many moons ago...), you could
potentially have the path to a similar product... Anyways, I hope this
OGbubblegum makes it 'round the boards, I've passed her to many, and she's
just now making her way around... I popped this cut from seed by the way, back
in 2003, just so everyone is clear as to where I got it from.

GP: any thoughts on Nirvana's Bubblicious? (other than, like other nirvana strains, is pretty diverse?) i've seen a couple pics that look to have the same purpling but not close to the size buds that yours has. As the board's bubblegum guru, just wondering if you could point us all in a good direction as far as seeds, since many of us have problems getting our hands on the og cut.

 

[grapepunched]

I've never run Nirvana's Bubblicious, but I say go for it...
why not? I've run other great Nirvana strains, so I'd say do it.
As far as good bubblegum seeds go, I'm working on some breeding right now with all of my bubblegum varieties. Hopefully I can offer these to the Bay,
but until these are finished try to find some BOG gear somehow.
BOG is the best bubblegum on the market, if you can find it.
And I'm just a "Bubblegum Representative"...
BOG was the teacher, I was the minion... you understand=)
but thanks for the compliments....

edit: Grindhouse and Steele have worked hard to try to preserve some BOG SourBubbleBX1 with a nice IX1.... see if you can find some in the mean time, or check out the BOG preservation thread lead by southwind/Care Free 1

Ever since I was 14 and read a 1994 Cannabis Cup writeup in HT magazine I have been intrigued with the Bubblegum strain. How could there be a strain of cannabis that smells like BUBBLEGUM?

I guess it is not impossible considering bubblegum it is a "combination of wintergreen, peppermint, vanilla and cinnamon".. flavors that have all been reported to be associated with different strains.

It also seems to be the building block of many legendary elite clones and strains such as bubbleberry, snowdog, bubba kush and others.

It is the one strain I have always asked my dealers for and unfortunately no one has ever had it... most haven't even heard of it!

The more I learn about Bubblegum the more I want to grow it! Supposedly euphoric high combined with US genetics makes it even more appealing to me.

Grapepunched: Does your clone REALLY smell like bubblegum? Or is it just sweet smelling... like a dutch skunk? Is the high a couchlock like indicas tend to be? Have you ever had the original Indiana cut and if so, how does it compare? I am really curious about wether or not this strain REALLY smells like bubblegum. If it does smell like bubblegum does it taste as well?

Thanks a lot GP!

The history of Bublegum is availabe in the Serious Seeds web:

the genetic background of Bubble Gum consist of three different exotic sativas, amongst them Mexican and Columbian, and an Afghani indica.

A grower in Indiana (USA) developed the original material during the 80ies.

In 1993, this guy gave three very different female Bubble Gum plants to Adam from T.H. Seeds as well as to Simon and Tony (the two splitted up shortly after, with Simon founding Serious Seeds and Tony Sagarmatha Seeds) from Cerebral Seeds.

So Bubble Gum arrived in the Netherlands in the hands of three breeders.

And from that moment on, different new chapters were written in the breeding history of Bubble Gum, its development kind of branched out.

Three breeders - three ways of breeding:
These seed masters were going to make their own special selection out of the
three different genetic types they had received.

Simon reports: "As far as I know, T.H. Seeds did work further with another
of those 3 plants I did".


That's the reason why Adam (T.H. Seeds' BG will be another story?) considers his Bubble Gum as 'mostly indica', whrereas Simon puts his version into the 'Mostly Sativa' category.

etc, etc..............
