Caramellow
Also known as: Caramel Mellow
Caramellow Strain Overview
Caramellow is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Caramel Kush with an undisclosed mellowing indica parent. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to create a smooth, flavorful experience with balanced effects. While its exact genetic heritage beyond Caramel Kush remains somewhat proprietary, the strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive sensory profile and reliable performance.
The strain's name accurately reflects its most notable characteristics. Caramellow produces medium to large buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosted appearance. The coloration typically ranges from deep forest green to olive, with occasional purple hues emerging in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production and sticky texture when properly cured.
Caramellow is particularly distinguished by its aromatic and flavor profile, which has become its signature feature. The strain delivers a complex sensory experience that begins with sweet, caramel-like notes on the inhale, followed by subtle earthy undertones and a creamy, smooth finish. This flavor combination, combined with its balanced effects, has made Caramellow a favorite among users seeking a comfortable, manageable experience without overwhelming potency.

Caramellow Strain Growing Information
Caramellow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns, starting with sativa-like stretch during vegetation before developing dense, indica-dominant colas during flowering. Average height is 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity during flowering to prevent mold in dense buds, and providing adequate support for heavy colas. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
