Grape Bubblegum
Also known as: Grape Bubble Gum, Grape Bubblegum Kush
Grape Bubblegum Strain Overview
Grape Bubblegum is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two popular strains to create a unique aromatic and flavorful experience. The strain was developed by crossing Grape Ape, a classic indica known for its grape-like aroma and relaxing effects, with Bubblegum, a balanced hybrid famous for its sweet, candy-like flavor profile. This combination results in a plant that inherits the best characteristics of both parent strains, creating a well-rounded hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and green hues often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The trichome coverage is usually generous, giving the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Grape Bubblegum is particularly noted for its complex aroma profile that combines sweet grape notes with the distinct bubblegum candy scent, often accompanied by subtle earthy undertones. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with the sweet grape and bubblegum notes dominating the initial taste, followed by more subtle herbal and earthy flavors on the exhale.
Grape Bubblegum has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and among connoisseurs for its consistent quality and distinctive sensory profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's balanced effects and appealing flavor profile make it suitable for various occasions, though its relatively high THC content means it may be more appropriate for experienced users. As with many cannabis strains, the exact characteristics can vary depending on growing conditions and phenotype expression.

Grape Bubblegum Strain Growing Information
Grape Bubblegum is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally 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 growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the purple coloration development. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures to encourage the purple pigmentation and providing adequate support for the dense buds during flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
