Bubblegum Funk
Also known as: Bubblegum Funk OG
Bubblegum Funk Strain Overview
Bubblegum Funk is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the sweet, nostalgic flavors of classic Bubblegum genetics with the complex, funky terpene profile of OG Kush varieties. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a flavorful, potent hybrid with broad appeal. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources indicate it was developed by crossing a Bubblegum phenotype (likely derived from Indiana Bubblegum or a similar variant) with a selected OG Kush or Chemdawg phenotype to introduce the 'funk' element of its name.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of milky-white trichomes. The buds are often tightly packed with a slightly elongated structure, reminiscent of its OG lineage. Bubblegum Funk has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its unique aromatic profile that successfully blends sweet, candy-like notes with the earthy, fuel-like undertones characteristic of OG varieties.
Notably, Bubblegum Funk represents a successful attempt to preserve the distinctive flavor profile of classic Bubblegum strains while enhancing potency and adding complexity through OG genetics. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and seed catalogs, though it remains less widespread than its parent strains. Its balanced effects and memorable flavor have earned it a dedicated following among users who appreciate hybrid strains that offer both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits.

Bubblegum Funk Strain Growing Information
Bubblegum Funk is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height, with indoor specimens staying around 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching 180-200 cm. Bubblegum Funk requires good air circulation and careful monitoring of humidity during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
