Melon Stomper
Also known as: Melon Stomper OG
Melon Stomper Strain Overview
Melon Stomper is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, a prominent American breeder known for creating unique and flavorful cultivars. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: the fruity and potent Watermelon Zkittlez with the complex and gassy Stardawg. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the sweet, tropical fruit flavors from its Watermelon Zkittlez lineage while gaining structure, potency, and a diesel-like undertone from the Stardawg parent. The strain gained popularity in the mid-2010s and has become a favorite among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects.
Visually, Melon Stomper plants typically produce medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, often displaying a vibrant color palette. The flowers commonly feature deep green hues with occasional purple and blue undertones, complemented by a thick coating of milky white trichomes and bright orange pistils. The strain's name accurately reflects its most prominent characteristic: a powerful aroma and flavor reminiscent of ripe, juicy melons, particularly watermelon and cantaloupe, with subtle earthy and diesel notes in the background.
Melon Stomper is considered a relatively stable hybrid that expresses consistently across different phenotypes, though some variation in terpene expression and growth patterns may occur. The strain has been used in breeding projects to create other popular cultivars, contributing its distinctive melon flavor and balanced hybrid effects to subsequent generations. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Melon Stomper maintains a dedicated following in cannabis communities that value unique flavor experiences and well-rounded effects.

Melon Stomper Strain Growing Information
Melon Stomper is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring some training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Melon Stomper can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control to bring out the strain's full terpene potential. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during the flowering phase to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to fungal issues in humid conditions. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor clarity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests like spider mites and aphids, particularly in indoor setups.
