Double Gum is a modern indica variety developed directly from the Bubble Gum lineage. This strain is widely credited to the Dutch breeding scene of the 1990s for its simplified cultivation requirements, as it maintains an easy difficulty rating for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a medium yield following a concise 48-day flowering period.

The sensory profile of Double Gum is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, led primarily by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, geraniol, and humulene. This sequence continues with smaller concentrations of pinene, beta-pinene, linalool, ocimene, and nerolidol, rounded out by trace amounts of terpinolene, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and gamma-terpinene. The resulting chemical composition presents a multifaceted aromatic experience reflective of this diverse terpene arrangement.

As a THC-dominant strain, Double Gum is sought after for its ability to induce states of relaxation, calmness, and mental focus. These therapeutic properties make it a viable option for users managing pain, stress, or sleep-related concerns. The influence of this modern indica extends through its genetic offspring, which include Double Blue, Glouchester Cheese, and Grape Lazerlite 1.
