I've ordered the Mosca Indiana bubblegum fem seeds, and still waiting for them to arrive. I'll let everyone know how this turns out in 4 or so months. Really looking forward to the results. I grew Nirvana bubblelicious, great ganja but no bubblegum terps or smells, just sweetness. Mosca also crossed it with sherbert and I have them on order too.

Looks like Mosca, CSI, and Heisenbeans have all S1'd the IBG cut.
Simon came into the flying duchman years ago with the best bubblegum ever,, smoke was exactly bazooka Joe,, never seen that since,, never saw it in the seeds either,, nothing has ever done that full flavor bazooka Joe mouth coating shit since,, never seen a seed nail it like you need it to
I’ve not grown the early version but I’ve grown serious bubblegum a few times and it has a nice euphoric, social high. Followed by couch lock.
Bubblegum has always had a unique high and appearance, it’s a fascinating plant to me
Recently I’ve grown some ice cream by paradise which is 90s bubblegum x Moscas white widow. Great high
See I find this thread interesting as someone who has lived in Indiana my whole life. The people who say they haven’t gotten that bubblegum taste or smell from Indiana bubblegum may very well hold true Indiana bubblegum.
I say this because the only story I’ve ever heard about it was that it was called bubblegum because it was so sticky you could stick it to the underside of a table like a piece of chewed bubblegum. It never tasted or smelled like bubblegum and those strains with those characteristics only came after the name hit the main stream.
I’ve been criticized before for saying this and I must say I find it humorous as those that are saying my story is crap are those who have never been here.
Those here who used to grow it say it was a mostly indica plant that stayed short and was easily hidden in the middle or around the edges of corn fields. This was of course before roundup ready crops and commercial farms which forced these guys to move either indoors or to the middle of the woods. Once they were forced to move growing locations their choice of plants changed or opened up and they either just went with completely new strains or they bred the bubblegum so thin it became unrecognizable. This was also around the time the bubblegum name started to spread and it went from an ultra sticky strain to becoming associated with a taste and smell of bubblegum.

It was Adam Dunn who said the Bubblegum was named because it stuck under a table . Not sure how credible he is based on some of his dealings . I’ve seen my share of outdoor in Pa that was dead on pink bubblegum flavor so I know it exists .. One person in mind has some beans .. I’m going to reach out today and see what I come up with . He had a short stout broadleaf Indica that he bred with for years . Reeked of the pink bazooka joe .

I have a pack of Bubblelicious from Nirvana. I hope I can find a Bubblegum smelling plant when I pop them.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I fondly remember bubblegum as being one of the top strains I have ever had the chance to come across in my entire life. In college, our dealer had a jar of it only once, and we were lucky to have bought a gram (for $20!) on a whim. I just remember sitting in a circle with my 5 friends and having one of the most random, giggle-fest conversations ever. It was very cerebral and social and intoxicating. We contrived some epic plans which sadly never came to fruition, but I still remember to this day what we came up with and had decided was the most amazing ideas ever. It was an amazing smoke. We returned the next day asking for more, but she was all sold out and never had any more. This was Michigan in 2012. [/FONT]
I just read all 45 pages of this mess... wow. How incredibly frustrating.
It's crazy how if one rumor is started about a line it can just snowball. People just keep passing on the info without any real evidence.
Bigbadbiddy. Dude grow out some bubble gum so you can form an actual opinion. Unbelievable.
Anyways. Thanks to you guys out there that grew some BG and posted your findings. That's what this place is handy for.
I grew out BOGs bubble and have a Boggle gum finishing now.
I've found some sweet smells. But I've only grown a few of each so I'm not going to scream my opinion from the mountain top.
Healthy happy productive plants. BOGs customer service is top notch. Prices directly from him are low. My only complaint is the naming convention he uses. Too many bubbles. I gotta keep his brochure next to the grow to keep track of what is what.

...so err.. post up your Bog plants then.
Interesting you say he said that also. But honestly my story comes from a couple of older growers, now in their 70s that claim they used to grow it out in the corn fields.
Unfortunately since I live in Indiana and their laws aren’t so friendly I won’t say names but I doubt they would be widely known either since they were the same ones that taught me to keep quiet and keep a normal appearance. Honestly the only reason I know anything about what they did is they were family friends that were aware of my habits and my families distaste of it so they reached out to let me know that as long as I kept things natural and kept my life in order there was nothing wrong with what I did. But here in Indiana you can drink and drive and kill people and still be looked at as a better person than someone who gets a simple possession charge for cannabis.
Thanks for posting this info.
Many yeas ago I was passed the Indiana Bubblegum cut from a respected long time member here who was a huge cut collector. When I grew it out it, it was a sticky/resiny strain, but it sure didn't smell like bubblegum, it smelled earthy. Always made me wonder why it was called bubblegum.
Just to let you know, the real stuff tastes like the sticks of bubblegum you used to get in Tops baseball cards. The last batch I grew matured with a gold shine to the tricomes. This was a top so I harvested it and cured it. It gave me a electric chill from the middle of my back straight to my brain.
Yeah, I am about the grow it again, see if the same thing happens. Have to say, out of anything I have had it is my favorite.

Around 99-2000, there was a plant in the north east that smelled like bubble gum. Don't Think it Was related to Indiana bubble gum. Not sure if it has anything to do with serious either. I wasnt told the lineage. It really smelled exactly like bubble gum, so we started calling it bubble gum. I know cannabis can produce a bubble gum smell.
At no point have i ever had a bubble gum seed turn out like that though. I tried serous bubble gum around that time. Around 2008 i tried serious again and th. I tried most of bogs stuff somewhat recently.
Cannabis can produce a bubble gum smell. I think it's just recessive and its not even in the bubble gum seed lines.

The Bubblegum in Orange County was 10/10 on flavor.... 1/10 potency ...it was a done in 7 weeks.. this was like 1998
The more I read this thread and knowing what I’ve been told makes me wonder something. Is Indiana bubblegum a completely different line than the bubblegums from Amsterdam/elsewhere.
Maybe that’s why it’s specified as “Indiana Bubblegum” rather than just “Bubblegum”.
But I know the guys who told me that story also worked exclusively with seeds and we all know how seeds can vary even within the same line. They would run roughly 20 plots and one of those they would let go to seed while the others they pulled all the males. With that limited of selection each year a line could look, smell and taste completely different in as little as 5 years from where it started.
So it’s possible that all these “bubblegums” could’ve started as “Indiana Bubblegum” but came from different sources. One source may have been very selective each season and only crossed the most bubblegummy smelling and tasting ones while the next source just went for strongest and a third, like the guys I know, just let a small plot do it’s thing and whatever happened, happened. This also doesnt take into account the selection that took place once the “breeders” got ahold of the seed and they were far away from Indiana.

I think the Indiana Bubblegum is a decendant from the real bubblegum, but a bad selection. When I grew Serious BG in 2012 two of them had the pink bg smell and a third one had a smell similar to the Indiana BG S1's. Nevertheless, in 2014 with 2 new packs from Serious it wasn't there anymore. It was still some kind of bubblegummy, but different. Not the pink one.
What kind of fruit is the pink bubblegum actually imitating?

They have a very phenolic edible plastic smell early on, then the sugar fills in and voila pink bg.
The whole concept of Cannabis recreating natural fruit smells is flawed, I've never smelt a clean bud that smelt as boring as a natural product (excluding Cannabis itself). Weed is unique in that way, that it's flavors are closer to gourmet manmade products than natural ones.
There's a thread around here somewhere with a tray of bubba kush mixed in with some sour dub, indistinguished by the propagator,it cracks me up because bubba kush has always been short for "bubblegum kush" in my circle and literally every "bubba kush" I've received has been the Bubblegum you're all looking for.

Oh, that rumour that bubba kush is from bubblegum is also flawed because I have seen a video once where a guy named Bubba claimed to be the inventor of the strain bubba kush. My question which fruit the bubblegum is imitating didn't mean the weed plant bubblegum but the chewing gum. I mean, every colored bubblegum you eat stands for a fruit. Like yellow can mean banana or lemon, green for apple and red for strawberry. But I still don't get what fruit the pink one stands for.
