![]() It is important to not let them be overgrown by neighbouring plants which may grow faster at first. The initial stages of seedlings can be tender, and you have to take care a bit for them in that stage. It is a strong and beautiful plant which grows a heavy stem, you never need to tie heavy buds up. Upon being asked about special considerations to Bubble Gum, Simon explained: “The bubble gum shows a remarkable uniformity in plants grown from seeds. It is remarkable that Bubble Gum is the only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) in the Serious menu, thus being especially uniform. He says that it is not possible to give exact sativa/indica percentages, but reveals that the genetic background of Bubble Gum consists of three different exotic sativas, amongst them Mexican and Columbian, and an Afghani indica. It took Simon five generations to end up in the desired breeding result, officially registering it then as “Bubble Gum”. He focused his research on two of the three lines, finally deciding for one type that should become his Bubble Gum seed strain. Seeds` BG will be another story…) considers his Bubble Gum as “mostly indica”, whereas Simon puts his version into the “Mostly Sativa” category. Seeds did work further with another of those 3 plants than I did”. Three breeders – three ways of breeding: These seed meisters were going to make their own special selection out of the three different genetic types they had received. And from that moment on, different new chapters were written in the breeding history of Bubble Gum, its development kind of branched out. So Bubble Gum arrived in the Netherlands in the hands of three breeders. Sees as well as to Simon and Tony (the two splitted up shortly after, with Simon founding Serious Seeds and Tony Sagarmatha Seeds) from Cerebral Seeds. In 1993, this guy gave three very different female Bubble Gum plants to Adam from T.H. Asking both the above-mentioned breeders resulted in two corresponding versions of the Bubble Gum`s breeding story, giving good reasons for the existence of two high-quality Bubble Gum strains: The original material was developed by a grower in Indiana (USA) during the 80ies. So I decided to trace back the real roots of Bubble Gum. Seeds (both residing in Amsterdam), not to mention all those internet-based criminal copy cats here. ![]() Growers get especially confused, when a certain strain is offered under the same name by two or more seed banks: who has the original one, whose are copies? The Bubblegum strain is such one contentious strain, of which at least two seed banks do offer their own versions, in this case Serious Seeds and T.H. There are several strains out in the world of cannabis genetics whose origin and further breeding process seem to be unclear.
