What is the Bubblegum 47 strain?
Bubblegum 47 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and candy and earthy flavor profile.
Bubblegum 47 is a stabilized phenotype of the classic Bubblegum strain, originally developed by Serious Seeds in the 1990s. The strain gained prominence after winning multiple awards at the High Times Cannabis Cup in the mid-1990s, including first place in the Indica category in 1994 and 1999. Its name derives from the distinctive sweet, bubblegum-like aroma that characterizes both the flowering plants and the cured buds, a trait that has made it memorable among cannabis enthusiasts for decades.
The strain exhibits a balanced hybrid structure with indica-dominant characteristics, typically producing medium-height plants with dense, resinous buds that display hues of green and purple, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The aroma profile is notably sweet and fruity, with some phenotypes expressing additional earthy or floral undertones. Bubblegum 47 is known for its consistent performance and reliable genetics, making it a popular choice among both growers and consumers seeking predictable effects.
While the exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to the strain's long history and multiple breeding projects, it is generally believed to be a cross between an unknown Indiana indica and a sativa variety. The '47' designation refers to a specific phenotype selection that stabilized the desirable traits. The strain has been used in numerous breeding projects to impart its sweet flavor and balanced effects to subsequent generations.
