Alien Bubblegum is a mostly indica cannabis cultivar developed by 207 Seeds. It is recognized for its resinous buds and a flavor profile that blends nostalgic candy sweetness with earthy undertones. This strain is often sought for its calming effects and appealing bag appeal.
Appearance
Alien Bubblegum plants typically reach a medium height indoors, with tight to moderate internodal spacing promoting dense bud sites. The leaves are broad and dark green, sometimes displaying lavender or plum hues under cooler temperatures. Buds are characterized by their compact, rounded structure and dense calyx stacks, coated in sticky trichomes.
The buds have a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which can simplify the trimming process. Pistils transition from peach to rust tones as the plant matures. The overall appearance is notable for its frosty, resin-heavy finish.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Alien Bubblegum is dominated by a sweet, candy-like scent, often compared to strawberry bubblegum, with hints of vanilla cream. Underlying this sweetness are notes of fresh pine and earth, which become more apparent when the buds are broken apart or ground. Some phenotypes may also exhibit citrus peel aromas.
On the palate, the flavor mirrors the aroma, delivering a sweet berry-bubblegum taste with a creamy mid-palate. The exhale introduces a subtle spice and pine resin, balancing the sweetness. The flavor profile is well-preserved through careful curing and low-temperature vaporization.
