BubbleGum x Girl Scout Cookies sits between Indiana Bubblegum and Girl Scout Cookies: a genuine 1990s survivor out of Indiana and still the reference for what sweet is supposed to smell like on one side, the Forum cut, which most of the modern dessert category descends from on the other. What CSI sell is access to their clone collection in seed form. The parents are the cuts themselves, not a line bred to resemble them.

Indiana Bubblegum sits on the seed side here, Girl Scout Cookies on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Indiana Bubblegum. The original Indiana bubblegum plant, and the standard every later candy strain is measured against. Wants a moderate level of experience.
• Father: Girl Scout Cookies. The Forum cut, the plant most of the modern dessert category is built on. Given as generally given as OG Kush crossed to a Durban line; the Forum cut was an S1 found in bagseed and circulated through the ICMag forums around 2010. CSI publish a caution that their Cookies hybrids can express instability under some conditions while still producing plenty of good plants.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The nose is where these two argue hardest.

• The Aroma. Pink bubblegum, cotton candy and strawberry taffy over vanilla cream with a faint hash note from the Indiana Bubblegum side, against sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint over an earthy Kush base from the Girl Scout Cookies side.
• The Taste. Cotton candy and ripe berry with a creamy finish up front, turning to doughy and sweet with vanilla late, finishing earthier through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days, the other nine to ten weeks. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• The smell is a negotiation. Pink bubblegum first, then cotton candy, strawberry taffy and vanilla cream, with ripe berry and a faint hash note on one side against sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint, over an earthy Kush base on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Two frames in one pack. Indiana Bubblegum is medium-tall on a slender, sparse frame; roughly doubles in height after the flip; heavy trichome coverage on dense buds. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• Opposite ends. Indiana Bubblegum is reported as softer and more relaxed; Girl Scout Cookies as even rather than racy; settling. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Indiana Bubblegum is medium-tall on a slender, sparse frame; roughly doubles in height after the flip; heavy trichome coverage on dense buds. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Indiana Bubblegum runs seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days, Girl Scout Cookies nine to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Indiana Bubblegum as softer and more relaxed.
• The Body. Girl Scout Cookies is reported as even rather than racy; settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Real Humboldt CSI stock, not a copy.
