Veg Stage:

My germ was 5/5. Male to female ratio was 2/5. Both phenos where identical. I vegged this one for 5-6 weeks. Does very good in Veg. It grows real fast and vigorous. Nothing overwhelming though. Grew much shorter and Indica dom. (had Sativa looking leaves). Nice side branches. Bubble Gu

To date probably my favorite strain so far. Evenly mixed 50/50 Sativa Indica plant that has a very large yield of frosty sweet buds. I did recieve a very Indica Afghani looking plant but turned out to be male. The other 2 females were pretty much uniform in every possible aspect.

Grow: Plants were very vigorous... Most of the females were very stout save one more Sativa leaning pheno (my favourite) which grew a bit lankier. All the plants had side branches which kept up with the main colas in length.
All the plants were quite frosty and beautiful but the more Sativa pheno

Odor Level9  Odor: During grow, the Sativa pheno was heavy grape bubblegum odor. The Indica pheno was very sweet smelling. After cure, the Sativa still has more of a grape smell than the Indica.
Taste Level9  Taste: Wow! Wonderful taste from both the Sativa leaning pheno and the Indica.

Grew these two Bubblegum plants indoors from seed. I had two different phenos present themselves. One leaned to the Sativa side, the other to the Indica side. The Sativa leaning pheno smelled of the famed grape bubblegum while the Indica pheno simply smelled very sweet but not exactly "grapey".

The Indica stayed nice and short, about 36" at end of flower. The Sativa had to be tied down because it was stretching a bit, if not tied it looks like it would have been about 9" taller than the Indica.

In terms of potency, the Sativa leaning pheno blows the Indica away, and the Indica is in no way wimpy. Just that the Sativa is THAT much better. I let the Sativa go longer so that has alot to do with it.

The Sativa went 60 days and the Indica went 49 days in flower. (Counting from onset of flower, not from switch of the lights).

Overall, I give the strain my highest recommendation (coming from a newbie so take it for what it is, just an opinion). I will definately make room for this strain in my garden in the future after I have a chance to grow out a few more strains.

Flowering was done using Foxfarm Bigbloom and Alaska Mor-Bloom. Lighting was initially two 150w HPS lights but about a week into flowering I purchased and switched to a 1000w Hortilux HPS.

Yield was about 2oz each plant, would likely have been more if this weren't my first grow and I hadn't made a few mistakes.

The BG’s were seeded with the moist paper-towel method, 5/5 succeeded in 10-15 hours. All were potted and put under 2x36W fluoro's. Vegetated for 28 days in 20/4 light cycle, then flowered 12/12 for 56 days under a 250W HPS. I also had a few Nirvana Skunk#1 seeds going, ended up giving them all away ...continued

Germinated 3 seeds, ended up with one healthy female. Vegged the female for a long time (2months) waiting for room in flowering cabinet. flowered for 65 days SCROG style, very manageable stretch.

Here are a few notes on these genes.

Expect two to three phenotypes. One Indica-like pheno, one mix, and one sativa-like pheno were grown. The Indica yielded 1-2 oz better than the sativa pheno. The sativa has a nice clear stone with a very light fruity grape flavor. The Indica has a more rel

The BubbleGum is good Smoke. Growing it well it gets a little tall for my taste She can get 6 feet tall veging from seed for only 6 weeks putting a pot under her thats like 7 to 7 and a half feet tall. I had 2 out of 4 females.

Vegetation for 3 weeks at 24 hours. Not many leafs and small when they showed. She was top heavy so I strung her up for about half of her budding. She was short but nice nuggets. She looks like cotton candy. Another Nirvana bargin.

I took clones from (3/5) females I planted from a pack of Nirvana Bubblegum seeds bought from a internet head.
From the one toughest female I sucessfully cloned three generations and these are pics of my best at this strain and I did it far better than my previous attempts.
