Gumbo is an indica hybrid cannabis strain with an unknown genetic history. While the strains that are crossed to create Gumbo may be a mystery, its powerful effects are anything but. Named not for the iconic dish from New Orleans but for its delectable bubblegum flavor, Gumbo is still a force to be reckoned with. From its dense and sticky, frosty nugs to its candy-like sweet aroma, this strain has plenty of unique benefits that will earn it a spot on your list of favorites. Users report that Gumbo makes them feel intensely relaxed, sleepy, hungry, and blissful. While the strain’s aroma may be sugary-sweet, its taste is more balanced, with notes of earthiness and pine to round out the flavor profile. 

As you settle in after a few tokes, get ready to experience some serious couch-lock. Within a few minutes, you might find yourself ready to doze off or dive into a mountain-high pile of munchies. This strain is great for days when you have nothing to do other than relax and veg out by the TV. It’s also an ideal pick for those treating symptoms related to chronic pain, muscle tightness, insomnia, and appetite loss.

Reviews

Gumbo is hands down my favorite nighttime strain. It tastes absolutely amazing and leaves me feeling completely relaxed. It's perfect for managing pain and helps me get a solid night's sleep. The only downside? It gives me serious munchies for junk food!

This strain really caught me off guard in the best way possible! It's been fantastic for my neurological pain from Multiple Sclerosis, and its stress-relieving effects are just incredible. Finding a strain this powerful is rare. It's perfect for evenings and also blends well with more uplifting strains for daytime relief.

Oh man, I hear you. Daily pain is no joke. This flower though, it's been a game-changer for me. Helps with my back pain, knee pain, anxiety, and even knocks out my insomnia. Seriously, give it a try if you're dealing with similar issues.

Grow Info

Since not much is known about the original breeder or genetic history of Gumbo, it’s hard to say much for certain about its growth patterns. However, the strain is reportedly moderately tricky to grow, particularly for beginners. It needs a warm, humid climate to thrive, and it can easily be exposed to mold and mildew as a result. You can mitigate the risk of mold growth by keeping your plants well-ventilated and trimmed so that they each have lots of space. 

As an indica-leaning strain, it’s likely that Gumbo will be a bit shorter and stockier than some others that you may have worked with. It can grow dense buds and will need regular pruning to ensure that it produces handsome yields.
