Strain recommendation?

This might be silly but I’ve been looking for something I experienced about 15 years ago. I can only describe it as extreme mental clarity and a body high that was very pain relieving but not a couch lock effect, almost felt physically weightless. When lifting my arms, it was almost like they were too light/easy to lift.

Back then all the information I had was “ California bubblegum”. It was clearly a home grown gift to a friend and unlike any of the “compressed” stuff that was usually around.

Any recommendations on a similar strain/effect?

Sounds like it maybe Bubblegum Kush.

Bubble Gum Kush combines the sweet fruity taste of Bubblegum and the robust sweet flavours of Kush strains to perfection. The breeder masterfully cultivated the two wildly popular strains into a tasty indica-dominant favourite. This plant is beautiful to look at, and the buds are nicely covered in a heavy blanket of thick and frosty resin. This strain is very potent with up to 25% THC ratio, delivering a powerful kick. Bubble Gum Kush provides a sweet and fruity taste reminiscent of pink bubblegum and produces a deep and meditative high.

Bubble Gum Kush is hybrid 80/20 (indica/sativa), that is suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation. Flowering time is around 8 weeks, and yields are huge.

Thank you. It was very sweet tasting, that’s for sure. Smooth as well. Based on your description it does sound right.

I wish I could remember more about it, I know it was definitely frosty and sticky while almost a lime green color.

Do you know of any reliable places for that particular strain?

It’s been ages but I remember it being a bit brighter. Back then though the alternative was hardly ever green, if it was it was a dark green.

Ive tried “ bubblegum” from Growers choice and that wasn’t it, or even close really.

I’m curing hubbabubbasmelloscope from mephisto genetics now to give that a try. More than the taste or looks, I’m mainly looking for the effect it had:

I’ll look around for bubblegum kush, if something else pops in your mind I’m happy to give it a look. I have a feeling I’ll be searching for what I’m looking for awhile yet, haha.

Kush strains give good body high. My medical circle loves it. If 15 years most likely 1 of the first few generations of kush hybrids. Strains are pretty mixed anymore.

Thanks. I actually haven’t grown any kush, so I should probably try that.

I’ve been staying away from anything that describes “heavy” or “couch lock” effects.

It was in 2007-2008, so actually a bit longer than I thought. After my research and growing a bit the last year or so I’ve lost hope in finding it as I’ve learned more about cannabis in general. but I do hope to find something similar.

Willing to give anything a try, I can have up to 12 going and currently have 4.

Im blown away with how helpful and knowledgeable this community is and honestly seemingly non-judgmental. I’ve always received kind and helpful responses.

Pretty much any information I get here I’m definitely going to try. I don’t have anything to lose and for those close to me, they love the stuff I don’t like as it’s gifted to others. In the meantime, I’m just getting more experience for when the day comes I find something like it.

We ADORE the Hindu Kush landrace I managed to get some seeds of. Very body. Very light. Nice daytime use with little to no couchlock. Last bean is now a big fat mother. Lower thc at 20% max but the terpene profile is off the chain. Very unique effects.

Very nice, I’m glad you were able to keep a mother. I’ll add this one to my list, if I can find it.

I appreciate it!

Mine was a gift but can be found on landrace seed sites. Regular beans so some males. All you need is 1 strong female to clone a tent full.
