Bomb Seeds Bubble Bomb

[BobCajun]

I must commend this strain, Bubble Bomb, as an all around great plant. I got several different strains from different breeders and that was the best one of the bunch. Very vigorous growth, like an F1, right from germination. Fairly uniform. Of four seeds grown three were nice and short and only one was quite stretchy. They all had very solid, stocky bud structure, no long fluffy, leafy air-bud phenos here or foxtailing. Exactly the type of buds I like actually. Very easy to clean due to high calyx/leaf ratio. You can even use the tip buds of most of the lower branches. Good resin production. Also has very strong root growth. They root as cuttings very well.

What really sets Bubble Bomb apart, though, is the potency and quality of high. It was the most potent and the best feeling high of all strains tried. I had some Blue Pyramid, NLxBB, Orange Hill Special and Sugar Candy. None of them anything particularly special. The Sugar Candy was the best of those but I still think the Bubble Bomb is better and the buds are a more solid and stocky type, though Sugar Candy is good too if you like a more Sativa leaning plant and high. Tends to be pretty lanky for my liking.

The bubble gum aroma and flavor is very light in Bubble Bomb. It's your basic sweet Indica, starts out sweet then gets more acrid as it matures. There's a lot of them around like that, very similar sweet smell in early flower. If you break a dry bud open it does smell sweet and sort of gummy, but a bag of buds just smells like typical Indica, though less rank than say pure Afghani. The flavor is nice though, not like gum but sort of like pipe tobacco smells. It does tend to be a little harsh, as most Indicas can be (like Afghani hash), but nothing intolerable.


To conclude, Bubblebomb by Bomb Seeds is one of the good ones out there for a strong Indica with a very pleasant type of high. Pick out the shortest pheno and you're good.

How was the odor when you were growing? I'm thinking about growing some of these outdoors this summer, but if they're anything like the Hash Bomb I grew indoors, that's a non-starter: way too stinky for the neighbors.

It was not that bad really. I did need odor control but it's nothing like a Skunk plant. I would rate it medium odor. If there is very little odor when growing then you would have rather flavorless and aromaless finished product. My guess is that if they noticed Hash Bomb they'll probably notice Bubble Bomb too.

I should mention that I had to harvest my first batch a little early due to some bud rot issues (had bad air flow at the time) and it was still quite good, so if fully ripened it should be pretty outstanding and may have more bubblegum qualities.

Good choice. Here's a pic of my fav pheno at about 7 weeks. A little LED bleaching occurred. You can see the White Widow part of the THC Bomb used in the Bubble Gum cross in the way that the trichs grow on the edges of the small leaves and they curl up a little. This pheno has near perfect bud structure in addition to high potency and nice flavor.

Beautiful! Just smoking my most recent and so far most favourite strain moonshine ghost train by rare dankness. I'm not usually a sativa man but this not only has me locked to the coach with a big grin, it tastes like nothing else. Nutty lemons? Ramble ramble ramble

Seriously though, that looks fantastic. Great job

Thanks. It was quite an ordeal to find a really nice plant from a bunch of different strains that I would be happy with all around. Soon it will all be that one plant multiplied, the Optimus Prime pheno.

Nice looking plant. Not too stretchy for a Sativa dom.

Optimus prime pheno.

Love it

The OG ghost cut in the mix I think helps keep stretch and flowering time down alot.

Here's some cleaned buds from the best Bubble Bomb pheno, as I showed earlier growing. I like to use a piece of parchment on a paper plate for drying small amounts of buds like this. Water vapor can pass through both the parchment and the plate but buds won't stick or lose their resin on it. As you can see in the pic, this pheno is all calyx. Other phenos were useless fluff though so you gotta get lucky.

Loving the colour man

 

[Bubblegum31]

I have more than one running at the moment end of week 7..

To be honest I have seen better bubblegum seeds than Bubble bomb

Here is 3 of my BB

After how long she was ready Bob?

 

[BobCajun]

Yeah the upper buds on that pheno develop some minor purpling. This is the kind of bud structure you need to make it worthwhile to grow. The bud shown here is larger than you might think. The lower bud is actually about 2" across.

I gave it 10.5 weeks.

Great job man.. Owsome!!

I heard that melon gum Dr underground.
(Serious seeds bubble gum x soma seeds lavender) give some nice colour as well..

 

[Bubblegum31]

I gave it 10.5 weeks.

I think ill go for 10 max.

Thinking about staggerd chopping as well..

Any inpout maybe,if you have ever chopped the upper colas first then leave the rest to mature alittle more?

You do have to be lucky to find a really good one. I'm sure there's plenty of better BG crosses around. This doesn't even smell like BG really when dried, kind of when fresh though. I wouldn't recommend this strain over other BG crosses, it's just something people might want to try on the side. You CAN get good phenos, just that it's probably going to take a good number of seeds to find one.
