Melon Sourz
Also known as: Melon Sours, Melon Sour
Melon Sourz Strain Overview
Melon Sourz is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Watermelon Zkittlez and Sour Diesel. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the sweet, fruity characteristics of dessert strains with the energetic, cerebral effects of classic Sativas. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets for its distinctive flavor profile and well-rounded effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure, featuring vibrant green coloration accented by occasional purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs are often interspersed with bright orange pistils, creating a visually striking appearance. Melon Sourz plants exhibit characteristics from both parent strains, with the compact structure of Watermelon Zkittlez and the elongated bud formation reminiscent of Sour Diesel.
Notable features include its exceptionally sweet aroma with pronounced melon and citrus notes, balanced by the characteristic fuel-like undertones inherited from its Sour Diesel lineage. The strain's terpene profile creates a complex sensory experience that has made it particularly appealing to connoisseurs seeking flavorful options. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream hybrids, Melon Sourz has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

Melon Sourz Strain Growing Information
Melon Sourz is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Melon Sourz requires good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense bud structures, and responds well to organic nutrients. The strain exhibits good resistance to common pests and diseases but is somewhat sensitive to nutrient imbalances.
