Medellin
Medellin
Overview
Medellin is a hybrid cannabis strain created through a genetic cross between Wedding Cake and Chemdawg. Nobody is quite sure when these two strains were crossed to make Medellin, but stoner lore is quite firm on the strain originating in Medellin, Colombia. Bred by Lemonnade, a California-based breeder known for its high-quality cannabis genetics. The strain is classified as a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa), though some sources describe it as sativa-leaning in its effects.
Visually, Medellin buds have long, pepper-shaped bright neon green nugs with vibrant purple undertones, thick reddish-orange hairs and a coating of chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its impressive trichome coverage, indicating high cannabinoid content. With THC levels ranging from 25-28%, Medellin is considered a potent strain suitable for experienced cannabis consumers. This sativa-leaning hybrid is perfect for daytime use, offering balanced effects that combine the relaxing qualities of indica genetics with the uplifting characteristics of sativa strains.

Growing Information
Flowering time ranges from 52-64 days indoors (8-10 weeks) with optimal harvest around day 59. Outdoor cultivators can expect harvest in late September to early October. Plants typically grow 30-60 inches tall with indica-dominant growth characteristics, producing relatively short plants. Indoor yields average 1-2 oz/ft² (~400 g/m²) and outdoor yields range 10-15 oz/plant (~400 g/plant). Cultivators face the challenge of providing a warm, dry climate with consistent temperatures for optimal growth. This strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation but demands meticulous attention to environmental conditions. Growing difficulty varies from moderate to challenging, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced growers depending on the source.
