Bubble Gum by Serious Seeds – Sweet Aroma & Euphoric High · Feminized & Regular Options

Bubble Gum by Serious Seeds is a legendary cannabis strain that delivers a sweet, bubblegum-like aroma and a deeply euphoric, uplifting high—perfect for relaxation, creativity, and social moments.

Are you tired of strains that promise flavor but fall flat?

Many modern varieties lose their soul in the hunt for potency, leaving behind bland smoke and forgettable highs. You want something that actually tastes like it’s supposed to—something nostalgic, rich, and real.

What happens when your plant doesn’t deliver the legendary flavor?

You end up with buds that smell like hay, taste like grass, and give you nothing but sleepiness. No joy. No spark. No memory of why you started growing in the first place. The disappointment isn’t just in the yield—it’s in the experience.

The solution? Go back to the original: Bubble Gum by Serious Seeds

This isn’t just another sweet strain—it’s the blueprint. With a genetic profile locked in after years of refinement, Serious Seeds brought back the true old-school bubblegum scent that had faded due to genetic drift. Now, you get sticky, crystal-covered buds that smell like a candy store and deliver a balanced, long-lasting high that’s both cerebral and soothing.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I first grew Bubble Gum back in 2008, and honestly, it changed how I saw cannabis. Not just the yield or ease—but the joy of it. The smell alone is a time machine. I remember cracking open the jar and instantly being 19 again, laughing with friends on a rooftop. I’ve tried other versions, but Serious Seeds nailed it. I use a 4-week veg, LST for even canopy, and feed lightly—this strain hates nutrient burn. I swear by Bloombastic in week 3 of flower—adds serious density. My last harvest was 420 g/m², and the high was pure euphoria. If you want a strain that’s more than just THC, grow this one. It’s not just a plant. It’s a memory.
