Stripes Bubble Gum
Also known as: Bubble Gum Stripes
Stripes Bubble Gum Strain Overview
Stripes Bubble Gum is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern interpretation of the classic Bubble Gum genetics, distinguished by its striped bud coloration and sweet flavor profile. The strain's exact genetic lineage remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, but it appears to be a stabilized phenotype selection from the original Bubble Gum strain, possibly crossed with other genetics to enhance its visual characteristics and potency. Breeders have focused on preserving the distinctive sweet, bubblegum-like aroma while developing the striped appearance that gives this strain its name.
The strain's buds are notable for their dense, resinous structure and striking visual presentation. The 'stripes' refer to the alternating patterns of dark purple and bright green that develop during flowering, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. These color variations create a candy-striped effect that makes the strain visually distinctive. The trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the buds a frosty appearance that contrasts with the colorful calyxes.
Stripes Bubble Gum has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and memorable flavor profile. While not as widely documented as its parent strain, it has developed a following in certain cannabis communities where it is appreciated for its combination of aesthetic appeal and consistent performance. The strain represents a continuation of the Bubble Gum genetic line with specific emphasis on visual characteristics while maintaining the sweet, approachable flavor that made the original so popular.

Stripes Bubble Gum Strain Growing Information
Stripes Bubble Gum is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over the temperature variations needed to enhance the striped coloration.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. The strain benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) to maximize light penetration and bud development. Temperature fluctuations during the final weeks of flowering can help bring out the distinctive purple striping. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly in humid environments.
