Chewing
Also known as: Chewing Gum, Chew
What is the Chewing strain?
Chewing is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and candy and citrus flavor profile.
Chewing is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its distinctive flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from European breeding circles. Its name derives from its unique aromatic qualities that some users describe as reminiscent of chewing gum, particularly bubblegum varieties, though with additional complex notes.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance, featuring dark green leaves with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler temperatures. The buds are often coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Chewing is noted for its moderate to high THC content and relatively low CBD levels, making it a popular choice among recreational users seeking pronounced psychoactive effects without extreme sedation.
While not among the most widely documented strains, Chewing has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in Europe and select North American markets. Its balanced genetic profile allows it to express characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage, resulting in versatile effects that can vary somewhat between phenotypes. The strain's consistency can depend heavily on cultivation practices, with experienced growers able to bring out its most desirable traits.

How do you grow Chewing?
Chewing is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that can enhance its coloration. Chewing plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F or 20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and diseases but benefit from good air circulation. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers report that Chewing responds well to slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance terpene production.
