Indiana Bubble Gum Strain Overview
Indiana Bubble Gum is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from Indiana during the 1980s, becoming one of the most sought-after and influential strains in cannabis history. The original genetics came from a grower in Indiana during the 1980s, and in 1993, he shared three distinct female Bubble Gum phenotypes with Adam (T.H. Seeds), and Simon and Tony of Cerebral Seeds. From there, its genetics traveled to New England before finally making their way to the Netherlands, where different breeders created their own versions of this iconic strain.
The strain is characterized by its dense, crystal-covered, resinous buds that resemble sugary candy with large, chunky, dense structure, highlighted by vibrant green color and flashes of purple and rusty orange pistils, with sparkling trichomes abound. The plant typically grows with few branches, sometimes stretching to notable heights, and develops dense, crystal-covered buds with heavy trichome coverage. This strain combines a rich flavor profile with relatively easy cultivation—aside from a notable stretch phase that may require spatial consideration. Indiana Bubble Gum has earned widespread recognition, winning more than 13 cannabis competition awards, including the High Times Cannabis Cup and First Prize Outdoor at the Spannabis Champions Cup in December 2005.

Indiana Bubble Gum Strain Growing Information
Indiana Bubble Gum is considered moderately easy to grow and beginner-friendly. Growers will fall in love with these plants, as they are easy to grow, forgiving in nature, and high-yielding with harvests that can range up to 425g/m² following approximately 62 days of flowering. They reach medium heights and don't need much training or pruning to reach optimal results, making this an ideal strain for novice growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 60 to 65 days and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Its feminized nature removes the need for sexing plants, making the cultivation process more efficient and stress-free. The strain is adaptable to various growing environments and performs reliably under different conditions. Plants typically grow to medium height with few branches but may stretch during flowering, requiring adequate vertical space. Seedlings display strong pheno consistency, producing nearly identical plants—a trait valued by both clone and seed growers. This inbred line is the only non-F1 hybrid in many collections, resulting in remarkably consistent plants from seed.
