Marshmelon
Also known as: Marshmallow Melon
Marshmelon Strain Overview
Marshmelon is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Marshmallow OG and Watermelon Zkittlez. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the relaxing properties of indica-dominant genetics with the uplifting qualities of sativa-leaning varieties. The name 'Marshmelon' reflects its genetic heritage and flavor profile, combining elements from both parent strains.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The nugs often display subtle purple hues when grown under optimal conditions, particularly during cooler nighttime temperatures. Marshmelon's structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable characteristics include its complex aroma profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has gained popularity in legal cannabis markets for its consistent performance and appealing sensory qualities. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, Marshmelon has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile.

Marshmelon Strain Growing Information
Marshmelon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to reach medium height, averaging 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors when given adequate space.
Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers typically harvesting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outside. Indoor cultivation benefits from techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual transition to bloom nutrients. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, particularly to nitrogen during flowering, so careful monitoring is recommended.
