Bubblegum x GDP
Also known as: Bubblegum Granddaddy Purple, Bubblegum GDP, Bubblegum x Granddaddy Purple
Bubblegum x GDP Strain Overview
Bubblegum x GDP is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Bubblegum and Granddaddy Purple (GDP). This cross combines the sweet, candy-like flavors of Bubblegum with the potent, relaxing effects and deep purple coloration of Granddaddy Purple. The strain first emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a variety that offered both exceptional flavor and strong therapeutic effects, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure with multiple breeders claiming development.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers often exhibit deep purple hues inherited from the GDP parent, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The plant structure tends to be indica-dominant with broad leaves and a bushy growth pattern, though it may show some sativa influence in its branching structure.
Bubblegum x GDP has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely distributed as its parent strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain represents a successful fusion of two iconic varieties, offering a unique combination of sensory characteristics and effects that distinguish it from other hybrids on the market.

Bubblegum x GDP Strain Growing Information
Bubblegum x GDP is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold issues.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plant tends to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper temperature control during flowering to enhance purple coloration and ensuring adequate airflow due to the dense bud structure. The strain is suitable for both soil and hydroponic growing systems.
