How to grow Melon Gum Auto
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.
Growing Melon Gum Auto: what to expect
An autoflower: she flowers on age, not on light hours, which removes the single biggest way to get the schedule wrong. The auto versus photoperiod lesson explains what that changes — which is nearly everything.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 150 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 900 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
Breeder figures put THC around 19% — firmly in the strong band. The number speaks for itself; we'll not add adjectives to it.
The nose is fruit-led, and generous about it.
