Can we discuss bubblegum?

[Tonygreen]

If I found the moms that passed on the terps reliably GB is taking on terp profiles real real easy. Its picked up everything Ive crossed it with nice. Wait till you see the haze stuff coming! Maybe a cross for potency/modern flower structure then a selection for back crossing to the mom then picking the right group of bro/sis plants to move forward.

The self tests would be the most work but at that point you got solid gear to get the shit breeding out smelling/tasting right.

I just probably laid out a couple years of work lol...

 

[DoubleTripleOG]

If I get going in this direction are any of you guys willing to run some test beans?
Terpene breeding is a bit trickier than other traits, indeed it will take some work ha!

I still have almost a whole pack of those Pink Bazooka. Just sayin' lol. Maybe our genes could meet somewhere in there

 

[siftedunity]

I will donate something to the cause if I find anything interesting in the packs I pop also..

 

[Tonygreen]

Cool, I got some bogglegum F2's already,Dans got some too, if a pheno popped up in there it would be good for selfing... Probably collect some other stuff over the coming months too see what pops up.
FWIW they say the real deal is in there but bog didnt exactly stabilize it so to speak.

Fruit profiles have been easy with GB crosses.
I expect bubblegum to be a little more work possibly.

We want that bazooka joe, hard pink slab with the comic wrapped around it eh?
I smoked some fluffier type bg and some dense shit, i reckon thats the way to go modern type flowers.

Funny I think red bull tastes like that kind of heh.

If you are trying to get bubblegum to murder status potency it is no longer bubblegum.

If that's your path just cross a pink bubblegum pheno from bog bubble stock to blue cookies. Try to find more than one male then test the offspring.

 

[Tonygreen]

I wouldnt use the pheno found itself rather her selfed progeny or some inbred form ultimately. I'm getting old and not sure how much longer I am going to mess with males much. I imagine if you had the right pheno and selfed it and did a backcross with the right progeny youd find many good females to work with. Slip in the male if you want and inbreed a bit and it should be there reliably. I talked to a lot of older breeders and one sense I get from many is a sense of remorse of wasted time... Im already at half time!

Im sure a bubblegum tasting plant with the right power would deff be something unique all its own. Slippin in my secret pain meds wouldnt hurt,
Idk im not making no weak stuff, chick smoke or wat not ha. I don't think you have to sacrifice nose for potency. I'm like the anti DJ in that regard, and my take on fems too ha!

All purely speculation until the beans hit the dirt my man!

It's getting to the point maybe lots of people never tasted the real deal, hell we got guys saying it doesnt exist ha!

 

[Tonygreen]

No offense to the chicks lol

You could just self a pink Bg pheno of bog bubble them self that and it should be pretty consistent.

But if your after potency then if you can access Cali clones then use blue cookies as the outcross.

It would be like an uberpotent version of bubble berry in the f1 and at the f2 you should be able to find what you are looking for.

I recommend blue cookies specifically because of all the legit like +20%thc elites blue cookies is the only one that brings that special quality to the high that can be found in mid to middle high potency strains. In bubblegum its not just the pink BG terps it is also the quality of the high that makes it special.

 

[Croissant]

And also Tony,

Once you try Blue cookies, the clone only, I think you will have a new found respect for DJ short. Especially if you do a side by side with various cookie cuts and sherberts. The blueberry adds a dimension to the world of cookies that DJ fans have been raving about for decades. It smells and tastes like straight up blue candy and is in the same potency vicinity as cookies and sherbert but it brings that special dimension of the high that strains like blueberry and bubblegum are revered for.

If you decide to breed with one of these mid potency strains that is about quality of the high and terp profile stay true to the quality of the high as much as possible as well as the terps. Because, there is a reason people recommend bubblegum to people and it is typically because t quality of the high not the terps profile.

I bought Bubblegum from Serious seeds in 2006. They hermed on me except one female. I made f2's with her and a couple males I had. That was 2007 and I don't know if those seeds will pop. The female had a slight bubblegum taste. It was also very spear like in bud structure. It wasn't that special. I don't know if the seeds will pop. I guess I could try, at least, I would know. Sorry no pics of these Serious seeds grow.

Around 2008 I got some Amsterdam Bubblegum f2 seeds from Jaws. Those were short, big fat indica buds. The buds were so dense that most plants had mold at the inner stem. What I did smoke of it was not that great of a high. Stoner weed. Again just a slight hint of bubblegum. I didn't make more bubblegum seeds but did make some crosses to long flowering sativas. Here is a bud. The male sativa enhanced the smell and flavor of the bubblegum. Just not to the pink bazooka joe threshold.

With all that said, in 2003, I purchased knock-off Silver Pearl beans. It was Silver Pearl x Purple Skunk. I made f2's of those. Years later when growing them out I ran across a pheno that straight up smelled and tasted just like Juicy Fruit gum. Never came across it again and I had a couple hundred seeds. Sensi made Fruity Juice. They still have it in stock, but, most likely is questionable. I know its not Bazooka Joe just throwing that tidbit out there.

Oh crap I forgot. There was another thread on here about bubblegum. I'll try to find it. There was a poster that popped up in the thread talking about his bubblegum cut he ran. Unbeknownst to him I have tried his bubblegum. I can say out of all the bubblegum I have tried his tasted more like bubblegum than any other. The bonus is this cut is uber-potent. First hit off the pipe and it smacks you right between the eyes. Let me see if I can find the thread. He would be a good person to ask about his cut. He may not have visited in a while.

 

[HeriMarry]

Has anyone tried or have any thoughts on Beanho's SSH(bubblegum pheno) x god bud. This cross reminds me of a regular version of Sugar Punch whenever I start looking for new seeds for the vault.

 

[englishrick]

Wtf happened to tony

 

[siftedunity]

I was just thinking the same..

 

[Guest]

I've been looking at that SSH(B)xGodBud. I grabbed the SSH(B)xPCK but I think the better chances would be in the Godbud cross. Kicking myself for not getting his SSH(B)f2 or s1's. I don't remember.
Serious may be trying again to reformulate a Bubblegum...

 

[bigbadbiddy]

I found a thread on the Mr. Nice forum with a post of Neville who suggested crossing NL5xSkunk and Critical Mass and the results may, in his words, "burst a bubble".

Gonna try to "re-create" bubblegum as well although I only have 2 NL5xSkunk females but the Critical Mass male has "fresh" and minty undertones when rubbing the stem. The combination could work I suppose.
Also have PCK from Ace which I would try incorporating in that cross.

We talking many years down the road though, don't wait up on me

The bg pink BG pheno I tried wasn't weak but it was a step or two below trainwreck so it's in a completely different league potency wise where ogkush is the standard and for many it is.

Potency is a relative term and these days where ogkush, cookies and glue are the IT strains it raises the bar where the bench marks lay. Mid potency doesn't mean weak it just means weaker than the IT strains of ten years ago basically. Bubblegum was an IT strain in the 90's and it wasn't the most potent strain then either. BG was never potency wise in the realm of good cuts of jack herer or white widow which were the cookies and glues of that era.

Early 2000's uberpotent was more like sourd, green crack, trainwreck, jack herer. Those strains are all about on par with each other potency wise where I still think jack herer the 90' IT strain edges them out. At the time sourd was considered a new level but it wasnt ever any more potent that a good cut of jack here or white widow which were the uberpotent strains of the 90's. Then with chems and ogs arrived a new level of potency at least in the realm of indica dominant hybrids compared to the likes of sensi star, bubba kush, gpd and romulan. Now we have ogkush, gorrila glue and cookies and these strains are simply on a different level potency wise. I would say with the exception of an excellent cut of white widow.

BG pink BG pheno potency wise is in the same ballpark as northern lights, sweet tooth 3 and cotton candy which isn't lacking in potency unless your an ogkush head or something.

A strain that in recent years in the online community got a lot of attention was sweet tooth 3 and 4 and is probably a good strain to compare BG to. In my opinion BG pink BG pheno has a much happier stone. It, imo, smells and tastes better than sweet tooth 3 too. BG has a bit more depth to the high as well. It carries a very distinctive happy antianxiety quality that sets it apart from any of the other strains mentioned in this post

I want to make a distinction between sweet tooth and sweet tooth 3. As I havnt tried the F1 cross.

I agree with every thing yo have said , silver pearl wow takes me back , well sensi used to do juicy fruit and silver pearl and they indeed had a chewing gum smell and taste the amnesia haze now days has a tang of that , but they are more juicy fruit not bubble gum , serious seeds one , I had herms in some packs still got a pack of good ones but very nice all most bubble gum , the only place I know that has bubble is over at the b bay , they have Indiana bubble gum ibl woop woop

 

[JAWS]

ahh silver pearl going to start some seeds of those in December, might be something in them for-sure...




interesting

 

[GuerrillaRed]

It's funny you mention BubbleGum around 2003-2005 being a big deal. I remember finding it only once during that time and it's still one of the most memorable smokes I've ever had. I've been on the hunt to find that distinct bubblegum flavor ever since.

I wonder if this is in the ball park?
