Here’s a newer cross of 7-pot bubble gum with good results. Pods are bigger than Bubble gum but not as big as we would expect with Butch T being to crosser. Plants grow large and should be pruned to keep plants hight low. Plants can have very good yields of first lite green/green then ripen to red. Pods have very nice aroma more Bubbke Gum than Butch but still very nice. Pods make good powder with a earthy taste and should be mixed
