Bubblegum Cookies
Also known as: Bubble Cookies, Gum Cookies
Overview
Bubblegum Cookies is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that masterfully combines nostalgic candy shop sweetness with the doughy, dessert-like depth characteristic of the Cookies family. This American strain was created by crossing Girl Scout Cookies with Pink Bubblegum, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid that is 50% Indica / 50% Sativa. This strain carries a strong genetic heritage, combining the famed Durban Poison, OG Kush, and Pink Plant lineages. Multiple breeders have explored this genetic combination, and some release distinct phenotypes or alternate names such as Bubble Cookies or Gum Cookies, meaning the market includes more than one expression carrying the Bubblegum Cookies label.
The strain is celebrated for its impressive bag appeal and potent effects. The buds are rock hard, soaked in resin and often have a crystalline sheen due to the amount of trichomes, almost looking like they came out of the moon and are excessively covered with resinous trichomes. Some versions lean slightly towards Indica in their genetics (60/40) and have been associated with notable figures like Snoop Dogg. The strain has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile that successfully merges the sweet, playful nature of bubblegum with the comforting solidity of classic cookies, making it a prime example of modern hybrid breeding techniques.

This quick flowering period is ideal for growers who want efficient yields without sacrificing quality. The strain produces plants that adapt well to indoor and outdoor environments, making them a versatile choice. Thanks to its resilient genetics, the strain thrives in various climates, ensuring robust growth and generous harvests. Compact plants reach about 4.92 ft (1.5 m) and are considered moderately easy to grow and hardy, though growers should always prevent any pests. Indoor yields range from 1.15–1.47 oz/ft² (350–450 g/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 15–21 oz (450–600 g) per plant under optimal conditions.
