Melon Lime
Melon Lime Strain Overview
Melon Lime is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Watermelon Zkittlez with Lime OG. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the sweet, fruity characteristics of Watermelon Zkittlez with the sharp, citrusy notes of Lime OG. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense bud structure, creating an aesthetically pleasing contrast. The nugs are often quite resinous, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
Melon Lime is particularly noted for its unique aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of fresh melon with sharp, zesty lime undertones. This combination creates a complex sensory experience that has made it popular among users who appreciate nuanced flavor profiles. The strain's balanced genetic heritage results in effects that typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day.

Melon Lime Strain Growing Information
Melon Lime is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average around 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow slightly taller outdoors. Melon Lime responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels during flowering.
