Melon Headz
Also known as: Melon Heads, Melonheadz
Melon Headz Strain Overview
Melon Headz is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, known for its distinctive sweet melon aroma and complex genetic lineage. The strain was created by crossing the popular Watermelon Zkittlez with the potent Zkittlez Backcross, resulting in a cultivar that combines fruity terpene profiles with reliable hybrid effects. First introduced in the late 2010s, Melon Headz gained attention among cannabis connoisseurs for its unique flavor profile and balanced cerebral and physical effects.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, rounded structure reminiscent of melons, which inspired its name. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark foliage and the frosty resin production, making it an aesthetically pleasing cultivar.
Melon Headz is characterized by its pronounced sweet melon aroma with subtle undertones of tropical fruit and earthy diesel notes. The flavor profile follows the aroma closely, delivering a smooth smoke or vapor with distinct watermelon and candy-like sweetness on the exhale. The strain's balanced genetic makeup provides a versatile experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users, though it remains somewhat rare in mainstream dispensaries compared to more established hybrids.

Melon Headz Strain Growing Information
Melon Headz is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height with a bushy structure, requiring regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and airflow. Melon Headz is somewhat sensitive to nutrient levels and requires careful monitoring to prevent nutrient burn, particularly during the flowering phase. The strain exhibits good resistance to common molds and pests but benefits from proper humidity control during the final weeks of flowering to preserve the dense bud structure and terpene profile.
