Bubblegun (Bubblegum x AK47)

[IntotheGreen]

Anyone ever grow this strain?

Two of these plants are Bubblegun, and two are Sour Diesel, but due to clerical error I'm not exactly sure which are which! The front left and back right are definitely the same strain, and are much stiffer and less branchy than the other two. I assume the stiffer ones are the more Indica-leaning Bubblegun, and the Diesel are the stretchier plants but I haven't grown either before so I really don't know for sure:

The Bubble gun should smell of a little chewing gummi smell,

Strange that those instructions don't include a need to keep up a dose of (N) in early bud..?
unlike all the other bubblegum hybrids out there?

If they are both Serious Seeds' genes then you are in for a treat.

Thanks for the input all!

Stoney: not sure exactly how old the seeds were - my friend got them in Amsterdam several years ago.

Amanda: didn't know that about the extra (N) - I'll def keep an eye on it, thanks! As far as identifying them by smell it's hard to tell at this point, as the only plant that really has a strong scent is the one in front right, which I think is probably one of the Diesels. I should note however that I'm not completely sure of the strain of the two plants that aren't Bubblegun, as those were also from my friend but not in an original seed company package, just in a random container marked "Sour Diesel". If they are the same strain, they are at least phenotypically different, as the front right is by far more fragrant, vigorous, branchy, and flexible than the back left (or either of the other two which I'm assuming are the Bubblegun.) The front right has a complex smell, part fruity, a little musky/spicy, which (along with the flexible, branchy growth) is more similar to the C99 or Apollo 11 that I've grown before than it is to any of the other three plants. She is perfect for my SCROG setup - tons of branches that spread like butter along the screen! I wonder if any typical Diesel phenos display this type of growth?

Anyway as far as the two Bubblegun are concerned, here's the description from the Spliff Seeds website - should be some pretty awesome stuff:

55% Indica. Genotype: (Mexican x Columbian x Afghani) x AK. Fantastic fruity aroma and bubblegum flavor. Short and stocky structure. Vigorous growing stage. Fastflowering in 8 weeks. Rockhard, sticky buds. Medicinal painkiller. Rushing, energetic high. Potential THC level high.

Bubblegun has Mexican Sativa, Columbian Gold and Afghani Indica genetics. Originally from Indiana, USA, she was further improved in Holland. We used our AK to improve budstructure and yield. Our bubblegun is an Indica dominant strain with a high THC and CBD level, but with a definitive Sativa high. Bubblegun is compact and stocky and matures in about 8 weeks. She germinates really quickly and will surface in 2 to 3 days. She has tremendous root development, resulting in a thick stalked plant.

She is not too branchy. Both growing and flowering stage are vigorous, so you might need to prune this beauty. Pregrow under 24 hours of light will help keep her short, which is the sensible thing to do if you use the SOG method. Another way to limit height is to top or to fim her (this will create multiple buds) in the growing stage after reaching the third internode. That will limit her height, however does make her more bushy and require her to have more space in between individual plants. She has a great yield from her sticky buds. The buds are hard, compact and resemble somewhat the AK nugs.

Bubblegun has a longlasting, rushing and uplifting high. And her sweet, bubblegum taste have made her a firm favorite among smokers. She is a great painkiller. Medicinal value: headache, back pain, chronic pain, muscular pain and loss of appetite.
