Double Bubble
Also known as: Double Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum #2
What is the Double Bubble strain?
Double Bubble is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Double Bubble is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 1990s as a phenotype selection from the original Bubble Gum strain. Breeders sought to enhance the sweet, candy-like aroma and flavor profile while creating a more balanced hybrid effect. The strain gained popularity in the American Midwest before spreading to other regions, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure due to the underground nature of cannabis cultivation during that period.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Double Bubble's most distinctive feature is its pronounced sweet aroma reminiscent of bubble gum or cotton candy, which has made it particularly appealing to users who prefer less pungent, more dessert-like cannabis varieties.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Double Bubble has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor profile. The strain represents an interesting example of phenotype selection within the Bubble Gum lineage, showcasing how breeders have worked to stabilize and enhance particular characteristics over multiple generations.

How do you grow Double Bubble?
Double Bubble is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Double Bubble responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds. The strain benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to potentially enhance coloration.
