Cherry Bubblegum

The Bubblegum side of this strain traces back to the Indiana Bubble Gum line that became famous in 1990s Europe. Two different crosses now share the Cherry Bubblegum name: Leafly credits Michigan's Hytek with a Cherry Pie × Bubblegum version, while Moscaseeds made a separate cross of Indiana Bubble Gum and Bodhi Seeds' Cherry Sunshine. Because of that, effects and terpenes vary by grower — the batch COA is your best guide.
