Meltdown
Meltdown Strain Overview
Meltdown is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. This genetic combination creates a plant that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the potency and flavor profiles of two already successful cultivars.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. Meltdown's name references its reported effects, which users describe as gradually melting away tension and stress. The strain has gained moderate popularity in legal markets, particularly among consumers seeking a balanced experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either sedation or stimulation.
Meltdown is noted for its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, earthy, and fruity notes. The strain's effects typically begin with cerebral uplift before transitioning to body relaxation, creating what users describe as a 'melting' sensation from head to toe. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Meltdown has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and flavorful smoke.

Meltdown Strain Growing Information
Meltdown is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to stay medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
