Bubblegum by Growers Choice

The story of the original Bubblegum is one of the most legendary migrations in cannabis history. It started out as an underground staple in Indiana before making its way to New England, and eventually crossing the pond to Holland where it dominated the Dutch coffee shop scene in the 90s. It was famous for a very specific, unmistakable pink bubblegum aroma that coated your mouth on the exhale. But let's be real, the original cuts were never massive yielders. That's exactly why Growers Choice decided to take the classic genetics and cross them with the notoriously heavy-yielding 'Fat HOG'.
The goal was simple: keep that nostalgic, sweet shop flavor but bulk up the harvest so commercial guys wouldn't mind dedicating canopy space to it. And when you find the right phenotype, it completely delivers. The buds swell up into massive, dense colas that reek of sweet strawberry and classic Bazooka Joe. It's a predominantly indica plant that usually finishes up around the eight-week mark, making it a pretty fast turner for indoor setups. The high is that perfect, old-school balanced stone—relaxing enough to chill you out, but not so heavy that it puts you straight to sleep.
That said, it pays to keep a close eye on your room with these genetics. If you read through the grow logs on Reddit and the forums, Growers Choice catches some heat occasionally for genetic instability. Some growers have reported their plants throwing a few nanners if the light schedule gets interrupted, and there are whispers of the occasional autoflower trait popping up in their photoperiod packs. But if you're willing to do a little hunting and keep your environment dialed, you can pull a massive, sweet-smelling mother plant out of a pack that will absolutely take you back to the golden era of Dutch breeding.

Growing Bubblegum: what to expect
As a hybrid, expect a moderate stretch after the flip (around 100%) — but watch the plant, not the label: phenotypes within Bubblegum can lean either direction. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
