How to grow Blackberry Gum
Taste
Seb's take
Blackberry Gum pairs a male Bubble Gum with a female Blueberry, an unusual direction that pays off in dark, resinous flowers and a spiced, earthy berry nose. The high runs happy and euphoric before settling into relaxation, true to its indica lean. A fruitful match, by any reading of it.
Where it comes from
Blackberry Gum comes from Seedstockers by an unusual arrangement, a male Bubble Gum set against a female Blueberry, the record being specific about which way round. The direction pays off in dark, resinous flowers and a fruity character that leans, as the name hints, toward the berry. A deliberate piece of matchmaking, and a fruitful one.
Nose & flavour
Spiced and earthy on the nose, with a berry sweetness sitting over the top, the Blueberry parent making itself known through the Bubble Gum's rounder notes. Darker and more grounded than the sweetshop name would suggest.
The high
The effect runs happy and euphoric before settling into relaxation, true to its indica lean. A cheerful start that eases, in time, into stillness, with no jolt or edge to the descent. Company for a settling evening.
Growing it
Flowering is a tidy 60 days, returning around 450 g/m² of the dark, resinous flower the cross is prized for, at a substantial 23 to 26 per cent THC. The resin runs heavy enough to gum up your scissors, which is fitting, given the name. A straightforward grow with a serious result.
