I personally prefer bog's sour bubble. stronger in my opinion and I kinda dig that sour added to it versus the sweetness of the original bubblegum.
I'm making a cross with the serious bubble gum and a F13 male (from DjShort)
...i took the serious version cuz it's more in the sativa way
*here is some info about all this bubble'gums... hope this helps
Bubble Gum - a "Seriously" Refined Classic
There are several strains out in the world of cannabis genetics whose origin and further breeding process seem to be unclear. 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? Bubble Gum 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. Seeds (both residing in Amsterdam), not to mention all those internet-based criminal copy cats here. So I decided to trace back the real roots of Bubble Gum. 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.
A grower in Indiana (USA) developed the original material during the 80ies. In 1993, this guy gave three very different female Bubble Gum plants to Adam from T.H. Seeds 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. So Bubble Gum arrived in the Netherlands in the hands of three breeders. And from that moment on, different new chapters were written in the breeding history of Bubble Gum, its development kind of branched out. Three breeders – three ways of breeding: These seed masters were going to make their own special selection out of the three different genetic types they had received.
Simon reports: “As far as I know, T.H. Seeds did work further with another of those 3 plants than I did”. That’s the reason why Adam (T.H. Seeds` BG will be another story…) considers his Bubble Gum as “mostly indica”, whereas Simon puts his version into the “Mostly Sativa” category. He focused his research on two of the three lines, finally deciding for one type that should become his Bubble Gum seed strain.
It took Simon five generations to end up in the desired breeding result, officially registering it as “Bubble Gum”. 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 is remarkable that Bubble Gum is the only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) in the Serious Seeds menu, thus being especially uniform. 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 a strong and beautiful plant, which grows a heavy stem, you never need to tie heavy buds up. The initial stages of seedlings can be tender, and you have to take care a bit for them in that stage. It is important to not let them be overgrown by neighbouring plants, which may grow faster at first. When about 2 weeks old the Bubble Gum will start to pick up speed and grow as fast as other plants.” This delay in growth can be explained by the fact that the BG is an inbred strain and therefore does not have that hybrid vigour effect (faster and stronger growth) of F1 hybrids.

BOG started his seed line with White Label gum..
The Sour bubble was just 1 of the phenos he got out of his WL seeds..
I crossed A very sweet gum tasting Bog girl with a Rez Sour D ibl male .( I call it Sour BOG)..I have both a chosen male and a few girls growing now. heres the male
Now when I bx it back to the Sd ibl girl
That will be sour bubble...
