Overview
Gumbo is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity for its distinctive sweet bubblegum flavor and potent relaxing effects. The strain is an indica dominant hybrid with a 65:35 indica/sativa ratio, though Gumbo is concealed in obscurity, with no clear confirmation of who started it all. The original Gumbo strain genetics are also still up for question. While the exact lineage remains mysterious, this unique blend is believed to be the result of breeding the renowned OG Kush and Blueberry strains, which contribute to its exceptional flavor profile and relaxing effects.
The strain gained widespread recognition through Karim 'Luka Brazi' Butler and Alexis Major, who developed Flytrap Gumbo, releasing their Gumbo cannabis strain under this brand. The buds are covered by crystals and are light green in color. Additionally, they are incredibly frosty making it irresistible to any cannabis user. As for the aroma, it is incredibly sweet and smells like bubble gum. It goes without saying that it is one of the very few cannabis strains that smell exceptionally good. The strain's popularity has led to numerous collaborations and variations, establishing Gumbo as both a specific cultivar and a broader brand family in the cannabis industry.

Growing Information
Flowering occurs around the 8-9 week mark indoors. Outdoor growers recommend preparing for a mid-October harvest. Those who have successfully grown Gumbo report generating moderate yields indoors and outdoors. The Gumbo strain can be a bit tricky to grow, especially for beginners. It requires a warm and humid climate, and it's susceptible to mold and mildew if not properly cared for. When growing the Gumbo strain, it's important to monitor the humidity levels closely. According to Flytrap, their Gumbo strain grows between 60 and 80 inches tall and produces rounded buds that range from deep green to pale lime. The nuggets are accentuated with amber pistils enveloped in a frosting of sticky crystal trichomes. The strain prefers warm temperate climates and is popular among indoor and greenhouse growers who can control environmental conditions.
