Melon Gum
Also known as: Mgm
Overview
Melon Gum is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through the crossbreeding of Lavender and Bubblegum, representing a perfect fusion of aromatic excellence and fruity flavor profiles. Originally bred by Dr. Underground, this strain has gained recognition for its exceptional genetics and spectacular visual appearance. The plants can become real monsters, reaching heights of up to 10 feet outdoors under favorable conditions, with a robust and bushy structure featuring long branches that fill with buds so heavy they sometimes need additional support.
Melon Gum stands out visually with immense and very resinous buds that are ideal for concentrate extraction, displaying impressive color tones ranging from blue to red to black when grown under optimal conditions. The buds are dense and colorful, with hues of green and purple inherited from Lavender, complemented by vibrant trichome coverage reminiscent of Bubble Gum. The strain's most distinctive characteristics lie in its aromatic profile, featuring an intense fruity aroma reminiscent of a mix of melon and strawberry bubblegum with subtle lemon undertones, making it a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts seeking both exceptional flavor and potent effects.

Growing Information
Melon Gum is one of the easiest strains to grow, making it ideal for beginners. This plant is incredibly resilient and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation with vigorous growth and robust structure. Flowering time is moderate at 8-10 weeks, allowing plants to fully develop cannabinoid-rich buds while maintaining a robust terpene profile. Outdoor plants produce approximately 35 oz/plant (1000 gr/plant), while indoor cultivation yields 1.97-2.62 oz/ft² (600-800 gr/m²). Outdoor harvest occurs between late September and early October, helping avoid early autumn rains and reducing mold risk. Best results occur in temperate to warm climates with plenty of direct sunlight, requiring good ventilation systems indoors to manage strong aroma during growth and flowering phases.
