It does kind of taste Like bubble gum Really really really sweet I mean if you cant handle sweets you might not want to grow it. I thought it was easy to grow it didn't really stink (like a skunk plant) smelled more sweet. anyway I will post in a little while with more info on it.

Here is some info.
Serious Seeds - Bubblegum
Flowering Time: 56-63 days
Indoor Yield: 300-450g /m²
Outdoor Yield: Good
Smell/Odour: Sweet smell (Truly resembling a typical bubble gum taste)
Height: Medium tall
Effect/Buzz: Euphoric high
Genetics: Sativa / Indica hybrid
Originally the Bubble Gum was developed by growers in Indiana, USA. From there the genetics moved to New England and eventually Holland. Lt took many generations to finally produce this stable Bubble Gum, with the characteristic, sweet smell (truly resembling a typical bubble gum taste) and euphoric high; the original trademarks of this famous strain.
The bubble gum shows a remarkable uniformity in plants grown from seeds. It is a strong and beautiful plant, which grows a heavy stem, you never need to tie heavy buds up. The initial stages of seedlings can be tender, and you have to take care a bit for them in that stage. It is important to not let them be overgrown by neighbouring plants, which may grow faster at first. When about 2 weeks old the Bubble Gum will start to pick up speed and grow as fast as other plants.
Bubble Gum is a medium tall, usually not too branchy (sometimes stretchy) plant, producing compact, crystal covered buds.

Bubble Gum a "seriously" refined classic
Bubble Gum a "seriously" refined classic
There are several strains out in the world of cannabis genetics whose origin and further breeding process seem to be unclear. Growers get especially confused, when a certain strain is offered under the same name by two or more seed banks: who has the original one, whose are copies? Bubble Gum is such one contentious strain, of which at least two seed banks do offer their own versions, in this case Serious Seeds and T.H. Seeds (both residing in Amsterdam), not to mention all those internet-based criminal copy cats here. So I decided to trace back the real roots of Bubble Gum. Asking both the above-mentioned breeders resulted in two corresponding versions of the Bubble Gum's breeding story, giving good reasons for the existence of two high-quality Bubble Gum strains.
A grower in Indiana (USA) developed the original material during the 80ies. In 1993, this guy gave three very different female Bubble Gum plants to Adam from T.H. Seeds as well as to Simon and Tony (the two split up shortly after, with Simon founding Serious Seeds and Tony Sagarmatha Seeds) from Cerebral Seeds. So Bubble Gum arrived in the Netherlands in the hands of three breeders. And from that moment on, different new chapters were written in the breeding history of Bubble Gum, its development kind of branched out. Three breeders, three ways of breeding: These seed masters were going to make their own special selection out of the three different genetic types they had received.
Simon reports: As far as I know, T.H. Seeds did work further with another of those 3 plants than I did. That's the reason why Adam (T.H. Seed's BG will be another story) considers his Bubble Gum as "mostly indica" whereas Simon puts his version into the "Mostly Sativa" category. He focused his research on two of the three lines, finally deciding for one type that should become his Bubble Gum seed strain.
It took Simon five generations to end up in the desired breeding result, officially registering it as 'Bubble Gum'. He says that it is not possible to give exact sativa/indica percentages, but reveals that the genetic background of Bubble Gum consists of three different exotic sativas, amongst them Mexican and Columbian, and an Afghani indica.
Bubble GumIt is remarkable that Bubble Gum is the only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) in the Serious Seeds menu, thus being especially uniform. Upon being asked about special considerations to Bubble Gum, Simon explained: The bubble gum shows a remarkable uniformity in plants grown from seeds. It is a strong and beautiful plant, which grows a heavy stem, you never need to tie heavy buds up. The initial stages of seedlings can be tender, and you have to take care a bit for them in that stage. It is important to not let them be overgrown by neighbouring plants, which may grow faster at first. When about 2 weeks old the Bubble Gum will start to pick up speed and grow as fast as other plants. This delay in growth can be explained by the fact that the BG is an inbred strain and therefore does not have that hybrid vigour effect (faster and stronger growth) of F1 hybrids.
Keeping these hints in mind, I sow four BG seeds - only four seeds, due to the chronic congestion on my seed-testing list. They really showed off the ground one day later than common, but germinated properly and simultaneously. And in fact, the overall growth speed was slow at first, but increased significantly after two weeks. When the multiple-finger leafs had been formed, their look was quite unusual: dark green in the colour (indica trait), but at the same time rather narrow and sharply serrated (sativa traits).
Bubble Gum After five weeks from germination, they had grown into medium tall plants (55-65 cm) under HPS 400 + 250w, with few side branching. But due to the dominating sativa content, it was clear that they would further stretch during flowering. Two plants turned out to be female and soon developed the first flower clusters after having turned the lights to 12/12. And one could quickly realize that huge top colas were about to be produced by the plants.
After four weeks of flowering, the buds began to release a sweet fruity scent that was going to become more intensive from week to week, really reminding of fruity chewing gum. Also resin production had gotten into full speed, conquering more and more of the plants` surface. The buds grew into very compact resinous heads, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, thus allowing for easy harvest processing.
After 58 resp. 61 days of flowering, harvest was not only easy, but also rewarding, as the two BG plants yielded 25 resp. 28 grams of finest sticky sinsemilla. As expected, they had kept on growing vertically during flowering, finally amounting to 91 resp. 102 cm. But this contributed to the formation of long-drawn, heavy yielding main colas.
The buds were pleasantly mild to smoke and had preserved some of that special fruitiness also after the drying process. No surprise that the high delivered a pretty strong sativa power dosage, with euphoric tendencies, at least it will make you blow some funny fantasy bubbles in your mind.
The indica aspect, however, is also noticeable, causing a certain degree of stonedness, too. This nice mixture of both sides of the spectrum makes Serious Seeds` Bubble Gum an attractive experience, and accordingly, it has won several awards, e.g. at the High Times Cannabis Cup 1994, 1995 and 1999.
It may be new to some that Bubble Gum is also a good choice for outdoor cultivation. While rather taking place on the balcony in Holland, it is also successfully practised in the great Spanish outdoors, as Simon reports: "Bubble Gum is also liked for outdoors in Spain a lot, it will also form a very nice plant with moult resistance buds when grown outdoors here but just finishes not soon enough for my standards to call it an outdoor plant. Normal finishing date 1-15 oct."

Thank you very much for that post. I did not know that the Indiana origin gave the plants to Simon as well as TH Seeds. I think I may just go with the Serious seeds bubblegum and I will be starting them for vegging indoors and then they will flower outdoors which should be awesome.

I wont ever fuck with them again. Yes they are cheap which makes you want to check them out. Some people have had luck with them. But I found out the hard way (got some shitty beans that wouldn't germ.) If you get shitty beans you wont ever get a hold of there customer service, been there done that. If your low on cash try KC BRAINS they are the cheapest beans your gonna find and they have a few cannabis cups.

There are still some of original Bubblegum clones floating around med centers on the West coast. The original is a huge producer, one of my best by far.
Strong high with a mild body stone. It clones easy and grows fast.
I've smoked some of Serious Seeds Bubblegum and it seemed a little different. More fruity and sweeter than mine.

I love bubblegum!
Got the pleasure of growing it as a first timer and you're describing the high I'm getting off these buds to a T! It's too bad I don't have a clue where they came from. I wish i could say it tastes super sweet or just sweet but it hasn't exactly cured yet 
I will confirm it smelling nice and sweet, not skunky, but kinda skunky if you smell you're finger after squeezin a bud. It's a good thing i started a perpetual grow as this stuff's too good to let it all burn!

Is she more sativa or indica in growth and leaf structure? Just curious to see how ours are different.

If anything it has more of a Sativa leaf structure. Huge fan leaves.
Here is a picture of one of the buds. In the six hole system the plant in the front right is Bubblegum.
