My germ was 5/5. Male to female ratio was 2/5. Both phenos where identical. I vegged this one for 5-6 weeks. Does very good in Veg. It grows real fast and vigorous. Nothing overwhelming though. Grew much shorter and Indica dom. (had Sativa looking leaves). Nice side branches. Bubble Gu ...continued

To date probably my favorite strain so far. Evenly mixed 50/50 Sativa Indica plant that has a very large yield of frosty sweet buds. I did recieve a very Indica Afghani looking plant but turned out to be male. The other 2 females were pretty much uniform in every possible aspect.
Grow: Plants were very vigorous... Most of the females were very stout save one more Sativa leaning pheno (my favourite) which grew a bit lankier. All the plants had side branches which kept up with the main colas in length. All the plants were quite frosty and beautiful but the more Sativa pheno was in a class of its own in terms of beautiful bud structure and trichome coating... very lovely. VERY stinky girls these are... the stinkiest I've grown... but it's such a lovely stink.
Smoke: Dried and cured buds from the more Sativa pheno are my favourite... they have a grape bubblegum smell with a hint of muskyness behind it that gently reveals it's Skunk heritage.
The rest have a more pronounced, but still subtle, bubblegum smell (like the dry stick type of gum in trading card packs.) I absolutely love opening the jars of these buds and taking a big whiff.
In terms of potency I must say I was quite pleasantly surprised by the Nirvana Bubble Gum... even though I had read such glowing reports I really didn't expect it to be such nice smoke. The taste is piney and the smoke is fairly soft but very lung expanding.
The effects are mostly in the body, without being debilitating, but there is also enough head in there to keep things interesting. Absolutely PERFECT smoke for watching DVDs or playing video games.
Grew these two Bubblegum plants indoors from seed. I had two different phenos present themselves. One leaned to the Sativa side, the other to the Indica side. The Sativa leaning pheno smelled of the famed grape bubblegum while the Indica pheno simply smelled very sweet but not exactly "grapey".
The BG’s were seeded with the moist paper-towel method, 5/5 succeeded in 10-15 hours. All were potted and put under 2x36W fluoro's. Vegetated for 28 days in 20/4 light cycle, then flowered 12/12 for 56 days under a 250W HPS. I also had a few Nirvana Skunk#1 seeds going, ended up giving them all away...continued

Germinated 3 seeds, ended up with one healthy female. Vegged the female for a long time (2months) waiting for room in flowering cabinet. flowered for 65 days SCROG style, very manageable stretch.
The plant I ended up with looked more on the Indica side. I grew in Soil with hydroponic nutrients...continued

Germination: The Bubblegum was the fastest germinating strain I ever had, taproot already came out of the seed during the 10hr warm-up phase in warm water. germ 7/7, one was a bit stunted.
Vegetative: Growth was as expected. the crippled one stayed small, but started to take off after 2 weeks, t...continued

Expect two to three phenotypes. One Indica-like pheno, one mix, and one sativa-like pheno were grown. The Indica yielded 1-2 oz better than the sativa pheno. The sativa has a nice clear stone with a very light fruity grape flavor. The Indica has a more rel...continued

The BubbleGum is good Smoke. Growing it well it gets a little tall for my taste She can get 6 feet tall veging from seed for only 6 weeks putting a pot under her thats like 7 to 7 and a half feet tall. I had 2 out of 4 females. As far as cloneing goes she clones easy and makes a great sog.
Vegetation for 3 weeks at 24 hours. Not many leafs and small when they showed. She was top heavy so I strung her up for about half of her budding. She was short but nice nuggets. She looks like cotton candy. Another Nirvana bargin.

I took clones from (3/5) females I planted from a pack of Nirvana Bubblegum seeds bought from a internet head. From the one toughest female I sucessfully cloned three generations and these are pics of my best at this strain and I did it far better than my previous attempts.
