Gummer Strain Overview
Gummer is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. Gummer is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display a striking contrast between deep green foliage and vibrant orange pistils, with a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty appearance.
The strain's name derives from its unique aromatic profile, which many users describe as reminiscent of fruity gummy candies. This distinctive scent is complemented by subtle earthy undertones. Gummer plants typically exhibit a moderate growth pattern with sturdy branching, making them suitable for various cultivation environments. The strain has become known for its reliable performance and consistent effects, contributing to its steady presence in dispensaries and among home growers.

Gummer Strain Growing Information
Gummer is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Gummer adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants usually reach a medium height of 120-160 cm, making them manageable for most grow spaces. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
