Bubblegum OG Kush
Bubblegum OG Kush
Also known as: Bubblegum Kush, Bubble Gum Kush, OG Bubble Gum
Overview
Bubblegum OG Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the famous Bubblegum strain with OG Kush genetics. This strain was developed through careful selection, with breeders from companies like Bulldog Seeds in the Netherlands and Aficionado Seed Bank crossing Bubble Gum and an undisclosed Kush strain. The strain maintains an 80% indica and 20% sativa genetic composition, making it heavily indica-dominant while retaining some uplifting sativa characteristics.
Physically, Bubblegum OG Kush produces impressive medium-sized buds with a spindle-like shape that are densely-packed with leaves curling tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves are dark yellowish-green and twisted through with brown and orange pistils, all covered in a thick coating of translucent white trichomes. The buds are beautifully covered in a heavy blanket of thick and frosty resin, contributing to their sticky texture reminiscent of bubblegum itself.
The strain is renowned for its distinctive sweet and fruity flavor profile that combines the sweet fruity taste of Bubblegum and the robust sweet flavours of Kush strains to perfection. While consumers expecting pure bubblegum scent may be surprised to find a predominantly citrus aroma with top notes of sour lemon and orange, there is an underlying sweetness as testament to the Bubblegum parent, and the exhale tastes sweet and citrusy. This award-winning strain has earned multiple accolades in cannabis competitions and remains popular among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and distinctive candy-like characteristics.

Growing Information
Bubblegum OG Kush is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for both novice and intermediate cultivators. The strain is relatively easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it triumphs when grown indoors where conditions can be controlled. Flowering time is approximately 8 weeks under optimal indoor conditions, with outdoor harvests expected by late September to early October. Indoor yields range between 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows can produce up to 400 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain favors warm temperate climates with consistent temperatures between 20-30°C (70-85°F) and moderately humid environments for optimal growth. Plants grow short and bushy, requiring regular trimming of fan leaves to ensure proper light and air circulation to lower flowering nodes. Training techniques like topping, SCROG, or LST can be used to maximize yields and improve light exposure.
