Bubblegum x Apple Fritter sits between Indiana Bubblegum and Apple Fritter: a genuine 1990s survivor out of Indiana and still the reference for what sweet is supposed to smell like on one side, Sour Apple crossed to Animal Cookies, and one of the few dessert names that smells like the thing it is named after on the other. 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, Indiana Bubblegum is the mother and Apple Fritter 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: Indiana Bubblegum. The original Indiana bubblegum plant, and the standard every later candy strain is measured against. Wants a moderate level of experience.
• Father: Apple Fritter. Sour Apple crossed to Animal Cookies, and one of the few dessert names that smells like the thing it is named after. Parentage: Sour Apple x Animal Cookies.
• 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 first, then cotton candy, strawberry taffy and vanilla cream, with ripe berry and a faint hash note from the Indiana Bubblegum side, against baked apple and pastry dough with a thin gassy note underneath from the Apple Fritter side.
• The Taste. Cotton candy and ripe berry with a creamy finish up front, turning to tart apple and pastry, finishing sweeter than it starts through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• They are not on the same clock. Indiana Bubblegum runs seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days; Apple Fritter runs eight to ten weeks. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• 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 baked apple and sweet dough with a faint gassy edge underneath 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. Apple Fritter is dense flower from the Cookies side; suits indoor or outdoor. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Indiana Bubblegum at softer and more relaxed and Apple Fritter at even rather than racy; settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

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. Apple Fritter is medium-sized, dense and resinous.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Indiana Bubblegum runs seven to eight weeks, some reporting sixty to sixty-five days, Apple Fritter eight 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. Apple Fritter is reported as even rather than racy; settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Nearly everything CSI put out is built from cuts they hold themselves rather than from other people's seed lines, which is why their catalogue reads like a list of clones instead of a list of brands. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
