Information about Melon Gum:
Melon Gum has an unassuming name in that it is harmless and suggestive of a kiddie treat. In a way, it is true because of its sweet and fruity taste except for one thing. It is not chewable, but something one can smoke. Unlike confectionaries, it does not only delight the palate but more so the mind and the body.
Dr. Underground Seeds, the breeder, wanted a plant that is not only beautiful but also fragrant. Furthermore, it should also have a delightful flavor. To do that, they picked two hybrids that have the traits they thought was the most ideal.
First is a male Lavender from Soma Seeds. Beautiful, fragrant, and most of all, it delivers a very nice body high. Dr. Underground then paired it with a female Bubble Gum from Serious Seeds. A very accomplished hybrid, the former two-time Cannabis Cup winner also boast of a delightful scent as well as balanced mental and physical high.
It appears though, in the beginning, that the offspring was not as good as it was thought out to be. Through succeeding development and possibly by backcrossing it to Lavender, Dr. Underground finally produced a hybrid that has the best traits of its predecessors.

The hybrid can grow very tall. However, it is not resistant to molds, fungi, and diseases. Hence, it is best suitable for cultivation by growers who already have the rudimentary knowledge and skills.
Melon Gum is a commercial growers’ dream in that it is such a beautiful strain with exceptional effects. More important, it is a voracious producer of buds.
Flowering Time
Indoors
Indoors, the strain has a fast flowering period of 7 to 8 weeks. Once it is ready, the expected yield is around 21 to 28 ounces for each square meter.
Outdoors
Typically grown in a warm climate, growers can expose the plant to 10 degrees cooler temperature before it starts flowering. That is to induce a chemical reaction that results in purple hues. It flowers between September to October with each plant producing up to 35 ounces.
