Melonera
Also known as: Melonera OG, Melonera Kush
Melonera Strain Overview
Melonera is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in European and North American markets since approximately 2015. The strain was developed through selective breeding to emphasize its distinctive melon-like aroma and balanced effects. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it appears to have emerged from Spanish breeding projects before being refined by various international breeders. The strain's name directly references its most prominent characteristic: a pronounced sweet melon fragrance that distinguishes it from many other cannabis varieties.
Melonera plants typically display a moderately dense structure with medium-sized, conical buds that are often tinged with purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The leaves tend to be a deep green with occasional purple pigmentation, particularly along the veins. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker bud coloration.
Notable features of Melonera include its unique terpene profile that produces an aroma reminiscent of ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, often accompanied by subtle earthy and floral undertones. The strain is recognized for providing a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. Its balanced nature and distinctive flavor profile have contributed to its growing reputation among cannabis enthusiasts seeking something different from more common fruit-flavored strains.

Melonera Strain Growing Information
Melonera is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest outdoors in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors, potentially reaching 180-200 cm. Melonera responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to encourage the development of purple coloration and preserving the distinctive melon aroma. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but benefit from good air circulation and proper spacing.
