Also known as: Indiana Bubblegum, IBG
What is the Indiana Bubble Gum strain?
Indiana Bubble Gum is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
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.
