Bubba Gum iX
Also known as: Bubba Gum IX
Bubba Gum iX Strain Overview
Bubba Gum iX is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of its parent strains. The 'iX' designation typically indicates an inbred line or stabilized version of the original Bubba Gum strain, suggesting more consistent genetic expression across phenotypes. This strain combines the relaxing, sedative qualities of classic Bubba Kush genetics with the sweet, bubblegum-like aroma profile inherited from its other parent.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display deep purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Bubba Gum iX plants tend to be relatively short and bushy with broad leaves, consistent with indica-dominant genetics. The aroma profile combines earthy, hash-like notes from the Bubba Kush lineage with sweet, candy-like undertones reminiscent of bubblegum.
Bubba Gum iX is known for producing a potent, long-lasting effect that begins with cerebral euphoria before transitioning into deep physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among users seeking relief from stress and insomnia, though individual experiences may vary. As with many stabilized inbred lines, Bubba Gum iX typically exhibits more consistent growth patterns and effects compared to F1 hybrid versions of similar genetics.

Bubba Gum iX Strain Growing Information
Bubba Gum iX is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. Bubba Gum iX responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds can develop. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers report that the strain benefits from slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance terpene production.
