Pomelo
Pomelo
Also known as: Pomelo Cookies
Overview
Pomelo is an indica-leaning hybrid marijuana strain (60% indica/40% sativa) bred by Cookies, reportedly a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Mandarin Sunset. Named after the large bright fruit that bears its name, Pomelo is a vibrant strain that has gained recognition in cannabis circles since the late 2010s. The strain inherits GSC's legendary potent effects that deliver a wave of euphoria followed by deep body relaxation, along with its sweet and earthy flavor profile with hints of mint, cherry, and lemon. From Mandarin Sunset, it inherits a significant citrus punch with delightful mandarin orange aroma and flavor, offering relaxing and mood-elevating effects.
The buds of Pomelo are visually striking with thick, frosty trichomes, stunning orange hairs, and mint green coloring. Crystal trichomes coat the entire surface giving the buds a frosty glow, while fuzzy orange pistils can be found throughout these trichome-rich buds. Pomelo became recognizable on dispensary menus in the western United States and parts of Canada since the late 2010s, with its presence expanding in the early 2020s as citrus-driven genetics continue to cycle back into fashion. The strain's appeal rests on its immediate nose appeal, typically showcasing high limonene content with supporting terpenes that stabilize the bouquet during curing.

Growing Information
Pomelo can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (approximately 60 days). Indoor cultivation produces high yield XXL with large plants having an average internodal distance of 9-12 cm. Outdoor plants can reach 60 to 80 inches (150cm-203cm) in height with harvest ready around mid-October. Indoor growing provides higher germination rates and better growth as plants are protected from pests and disease under controlled conditions. Outdoor cultivation provides a natural environment requiring less maintenance and can produce larger buds, though plants may be more susceptible to pests, diseases, and weather conditions. Seeds are available as feminized only.
