Girl Scout cookies x Bubblegum is Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Indiana Bubblegum. Girl Scout Cookies is the specific Cookies clone that the dessert wave was built on, not the family generally. Indiana Bubblegum is the original Indiana bubblegum plant, and the standard every later candy strain is measured against. Between them they cover ground neither reaches alone. Every parent CSI use is a cut they keep alive themselves, so nothing in this pack is a reconstruction of a famous name.

Written this way, Girl Scout Cookies is the mother and Indiana Bubblegum the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Girl Scout Cookies. The Forum cut, the plant most of the modern dessert category is built on. Its own cross is 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.
• Father: Indiana Bubblegum. A genuine 1990s survivor out of Indiana and still the reference for what sweet is supposed to smell like. Wants a moderate level of experience.
• 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. Sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint over an earthy Kush base from the Girl Scout Cookies side, against pink bubblegum, cotton candy and strawberry taffy over vanilla cream with a faint hash note from the Indiana Bubblegum side.
• The Taste. Doughy and sweet with vanilla late, finishing earthier up front, turning to cotton candy and ripe berry with a creamy finish through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• They are not on the same clock. Girl Scout Cookies runs nine to ten weeks; Indiana Bubblegum runs seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Two noses, one pack. Girl Scout Cookies contributes sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint, over an earthy Kush base. Indiana Bubblegum contributes pink bubblegum first, then cotton candy, strawberry taffy and vanilla cream, with ripe berry and a faint hash note. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Build. On the Girl Scout Cookies side: tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. On the Indiana Bubblegum side: medium-tall on a slender, sparse frame; roughly doubles in height after the flip; heavy trichome coverage on dense buds. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Girl Scout Cookies is reported as even rather than racy; settling; Indiana Bubblegum as softer and more relaxed. 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. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. Indiana Bubblegum is medium-tall on a slender, sparse frame; roughly doubles in height after the flip; heavy trichome coverage on dense buds.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Girl Scout Cookies runs nine to ten weeks, Indiana Bubblegum seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

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

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. CSI work from clone stock they have kept for years and reverse it into seed, so what arrives in a pack is the real cut's genetics rather than a seed-line approximation of it. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
