Also known as: Gumdrop
What is the Gumdrop Pop strain?
Gumdrop Pop is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Gumdrop Pop is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis markets before spreading more broadly. The strain was developed through selective breeding to combine appealing flavor profiles with balanced psychoactive effects. While its exact origin story varies among sources, most accounts suggest it was created by crossing established parent strains to achieve its distinctive characteristics.
The strain is noted for its visually striking appearance, featuring dense, conical buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a vibrant color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a sugary, crystalline appearance. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The name 'Gumdrop Pop' references both the strain's candy-like aroma and the 'pop' of flavor experienced when consumed.
Gumdrop Pop has gained recognition for its well-rounded effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain's balanced genetic profile results in effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to more relaxing physical sensations. Its popularity has grown particularly among users seeking a middle-ground experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either sedation or stimulation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

How do you grow Gumdrop Pop?
Gumdrop Pop is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce slightly larger harvests in optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit a bushy structure with good lateral branching, requiring some training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Gumdrop Pop adapts well to both soil and hydroponic growing mediums, though many growers report enhanced terpene expression in organic soil grows. The strain prefers stable environmental conditions with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds.
Height management is important as Gumdrop Pop plants can stretch significantly during the flowering transition, often reaching 4-6 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. The strain responds well to standard nutrient regimens but may show sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen during flowering. Regular pruning of lower foliage is recommended to improve air circulation and direct energy toward top cola development.
