Spain’s Muppet Seeds is a new seed company quickly making a name for itself in the cannabis community. An offspring of Bubble Gum, which was created back in 1993, and a cross between a California indica and a California Desert Sativa, Machine Gum is mostly-indica in genetics and loves an indoor grow room. Bubble Gum in particular is known to be a highly stabilized strain, which has led to its popularity as breeding stock, and it brings a uniformity and sweet taste to Machine Gum plants.

Machine Gum tends to be of medium height and though plants can grow in any environment, they will perform to their best if growers use organic cultivation methods. Chemical-free cannabis growing has become much more popular in recent years, and thanks to the growing demand for good products and decent information, there are now many great plant-based fertilizers and nutrients for both indoor and outdoor growers alike as well as books and blogs on the topic. You can also use household waste such as eggshells and coffee grounds to amend soil and encourage growth. Organic growing has also been said to give a tastier smoke and strong effects, so it can’t hurt to try! Machine Gum’s high resistance to pests means that you shouldn’t find any little critters eating away your crop, and this makes it a good choice for a first timers. You should, however, keep your eyes peeled for any signs of mold, which can occur in warmer climates or if the humidity of your grow room is high. Keep the air inside your room moving well and make sure ventilation is one of your main priorities – especially towards the end of the flowering stage, when the sweet aroma of the plants will increase. For best results, consider pruning your plant, especially around the central cola, and it will respond well. In general, the flowering period takes place at about 8 or 9 weeks and will give a good sized harvest.

Sniff the buds of Machine Gum and you’ll be hit by the delicious sweetness that gives parent plant Bubble Gum its title. This aroma transfers into the taste of the smoked bud, and you’ll also taste a smooth menthol flavor after the main hit of the smoke subsides. However, the high of this strain is even more impressive than the flavor, and renders you positively childlike: a euphoric, giggly mess with a gleeful optimism that will linger even when the stone is done.
