The Sweet Roots: A Brief History of T.H.Seeds’ Original Bubblegum

Before examining T.H.Seeds'  recent releases, it is imperative to comprehend the genesis of the legendary strain that forms the cornerstone of their entire lineage—Bubblegum.

Bubblegum’s Universal Acclaim

In 1993, Adam Dunn and Doug founded one of the pioneering Dutch seed banks, T.H. Seeds. They acquired the Bubblegum genetics and refined and stabilised the strain for the European market. Their rendition took the Bubblegum to IBL status, aka In-bred line, which was done to stabilise the unique traits fans of Bubblegum were after. She swiftly gained recognition for her intense sweetness, stability, yield, and cerebral yet relaxing high. Notably, it garnered numerous accolades, including recognition at the High Times Cannabis Cup.

Bubblegum became one of the pioneering American strains to attain global recognition, solidifying T.H.Seeds’ reputation as a pioneer in cultivating high-quality, connoisseur-grade cannabis genetics.

Bubblegum’s Continued Relevance in 2025

Today, Bubblegum remains a prominent figure in the cannabis industry. Its distinctive flavour profile, reminiscent of pink bubble gum, strawberry candy, and classic funk, offers a timeless appeal amidst the prevalence of dessert and gas strains. However, its true strength lies in its hybridisation potential.

Bubblegum, a vigorous strain with a relatively short flowering time of approximately 60 days, dense trichome coverage, and balanced cannabinoid expression, continues to be a favoured parent strain for contemporary breeders seeking a combination of flavour, potency, and performance in a single cultivar.

At Spannabis 2025, T.H.Seeds unveiled a limited-edition collection of Bubblegum hybrids, each meticulously crafted in California utilizing exclusive genetics from esteemed breeders such as Hall of Flame and Serge Cannabis.
