More About Our Gumbo Seeds And How To Grow Them
Gumbo is well-regarded in the cannabis world for having flavors that are new to weed. When studying cannabis strains, we see the same flavors and aromas over and over again. The Gumbo strain is completely different than most other strains with vibrant and unique flavor profiles that add to its unknown past. The OG Gumbo displays an aroma of diesel, berries, and cream. As we discussed earlier, Gumbo has a flavor that closely resembles bubble gum with a hashy undertone. There are also notes of pine, lavender, and berries. The aroma and flavor are as intense as they are similar. Upon exhaling, you’ll notice sweet and earthy tones and a clear skunkiness that is released upon breaking up the buds. While other strains claim to have a bubblegum type flavor, Gumbo reigns supreme in that department.
Dominant Terpenes in Gumbo
Gumbo’s flavor is sweet and fruity, and is created by the dominant terpenes within its genetic makeup. Its terpene profile is what gives the strain its specific flavors and scents, like bubble gum and diesel. The science behind this strain is incredibly complex, and a better understanding of the genetics of the strain can help you choose the right flavor and aroma profiles for your tastes. Myrcene is one of the most dominant terpenes in Gumbo and is known as the “Mother of All Terpenes”. Caryophyllene, which has a spicy and peppery flavor and aroma, can be found in cloves, cinnamon, and cannabis. You can find Pinene in Gumbo as well as pine needles. Pinene gives off an earthy smell and flavor and can also provide the strain with pine-like undertones when smoked.
Potent THC
As an Indica-dominant strain, the most evident effects of Gumbo are going to be chill and relaxing. The strain is so strong that even the most experienced cannabis users will feel super-high upon enjoying Gumbo. This strain provides a super long-lasting buzz ideal for relaxing at the end of a long day. If you like to chill on the couch and binge your favorite shows or movies, then Gumbo is going to be a welcome companion. The sense of calm euphoria that Gumbo gives off makes it best used during the evening rather than when you wake up in the morning. Physically, this strain can help with muscle soreness, pain, cramps, and even insomnia. If you have trouble with your appetite, then Gumbo can give you a case of the munchies that will quell that hunger. The mental side of the high is uplifting and can rid your brain of stress and worry. The side effects of Gumbo are minimal, and the worst case scenario is dry eyes and cotton mouth.
Very Tall Plants
Gumbo plants produce buds that are covered in resinous trichomes. The sweet and fragrant aroma and flavor of this strain make it a huge hit among cannabis enthusiasts who put flavor above everything else when choosing their next strain. If you are growing your cannabis indoors, you can expect to harvest up to 680 grams per plant. If you grow your bud outdoors, then you can anticipate harvesting as much as 1800 grams per plant. This strain boasts massive yields both indoors and outdoors. Its flowering time is about average, taking around 60-65 days to complete if you grow your plants indoors. If you were to plant your seeds in late Spring, you should be ready to harvest around the beginning to the middle of October. Dialing in the proper conditions indoors will help you grow hefty yields of potent buds. If you have the space to grow your plants outdoors, you will harvest larger yields than you will indoors.
Ideal Conditions For Growing Gumbo Seeds
Gumbo cannabis plants are easy to grow, even if you don’t have any prior experience cultivating your own marijuana. These plants grow super tall and can reach maximum heights of around 8 feet, which means you’ll need to provide ample vertical room for these plants to reach their peak height. Gumbo plants perform slightly better outdoors than they do indoors. Outdoor plants will grow bigger and fuller if you have access to a greenhouse grow environment where the climate can be carefully controlled. While some cultivators prefer to grow their cannabis plants in natural sunlight and fresh air, others prefer the more predictable and easy-to-manipulate indoor growing climate. Whether you grow indoors or outdoors, you are going to need a climate that is similar to that of the Mediterranean. Ideally, the temperature should be between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. The relative humidity should be between 30% and 50%. If you are going to grow this strain indoors, you will need to replicate the warm and semi-humid climate these plants are naturally used to. If your local weather is similar to its ideal conditions, your crop will produce huge yields of potent buds. However, setting up your grow inside or in a greenhouse will help remove outdoor variables from the equation. The best training techniques for this strain are Sea of Green (SOG) topping as well as Low-stress training (LST). These methods are used to control the height and growth of notoriously tall plants. Growing indoors, you are going to need to trim the topmost parts of the plant so that the plant doesn’t get too close to the grow lamps and burn the buds.
