How to grow Melon Gum Auto
Taste
Seb's take
The autoflowering side of Melon Gum trades some of the lavender for melon, strawberry and skunk, though the resin production carries over unchanged. Sweet and flowery still, with grape and berry underneath; the high remains relaxed, happy and focused, potent enough to knock out even seasoned growers. Under hydro or aero, expect branches reaching for the ceiling.
Where it comes from
The autoflowering counterpart to Dr Underground's Melon Gum, and, by their account, familiar territory for anyone who has met the photoperiod version. The character carries across intact — the same resin habit, the same sweet lineage — only on an automatic's timetable. The record leaves the exact parents off the page here, so I will not name them; the family resemblance to the original is the thread to follow.
Nose & flavour
A variable odour between melon, strawberries and skunk, sweet and flowery still, with grape and berry underneath and lavender in the mix. The fruit and the skunk trade the lead depending on the day, which keeps her interesting. A lively, shifting nose backed by generous resin production.
The high
Relaxed, happy and focused, with hunger and a dry mouth in tow — powerful enough, her makers note, to knock out even experienced growers. It keeps the shape of the original: settled and agreeable, but with real weight behind it. Not one to underestimate for an automatic.
Growing it
Flowering runs 60 to 70 days, with a broad height range of 30 to 150cm — final size, as with all autos, tied closely to your system. Yields reach 900 g/m². THC is recorded at 19 percent, with one percent CBD. Under hydro or aero the results are, in the record's words, from another galaxy, with branches liable to bend up and touch the roof of the enclosure. Give her a good setup and she gives it back.
