How to grow Melon Gum
Seb's take
Bubblegum crossed with Lavender for a pungent aroma that does not travel discreetly once flowering sets in — a carbon filter is strongly advised. Sweet, flowery lavender sits over berry and grape on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and focused, with hunger and dry mouth along for the ride. Thick, white-resined buds, streaked purple.
Growing Melon Gum: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
She finishes flowering in around 8 weeks — brisk work by any standard. Read up on the flowering stage before she starts, because she won't wait while you do.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 600 – 800 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.
