Also known as: Bon Bonz, Bon Bon Strain
What is the Bon Bon strain?
Bon Bon is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and creamy flavor profile.
Bon Bon is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Gelato and Wedding Cake. This genetic combination creates a well-balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica dominance, typically exhibiting a 60% indica and 40% sativa profile. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the dessert-themed cannabis trend, with breeders seeking to create a cultivar that combined the best qualities of its parent strains while offering unique sensory characteristics.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues with vibrant orange pistils weaving throughout. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sugar-coated appearance that aligns with its sweet namesake. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
Bon Bon has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's name reflects its dessert-like qualities, though some confusion exists in the cannabis market as the name has occasionally been used for different genetic combinations, making proper identification important for consumers.

How do you grow Bon Bon?
Bon Bon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature and humidity levels it prefers. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors but potentially growing taller outdoors. Bon Bon responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The plants benefit from consistent feeding schedules and may show nutrient sensitivity, particularly to nitrogen during flowering. Adequate airflow and spacing between plants are recommended to support the dense bud structure and terpene development.
