Pompelmo
Also known as: Pompelmo Pink, Pink Pompelmo
Pompelmo Strain Overview
Pompelmo is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive grapefruit characteristics and balanced effects. The name 'Pompelmo' is Italian for 'grapefruit,' which accurately describes its dominant flavor profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure, the strain appears to have emerged from European breeding programs in the early 2010s, likely developed by crossing grapefruit-forward genetics with other popular strains to enhance its unique terpene profile and effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a striking appearance. The flowers often display a range of colors from light green to deep purple, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Pompelmo is known for its pronounced citrus aroma that strongly resembles fresh grapefruit, often accompanied by subtle earthy and floral undertones that become more apparent when the buds are broken apart.
Pompelmo is considered a well-balanced hybrid that offers both cerebral and physical effects. Users typically report an initial uplifting, euphoric sensation that gradually transitions into a relaxing body calm. The strain's effects are generally described as moderate in intensity rather than overwhelming, making it suitable for various occasions. Due to its relative rarity compared to mainstream commercial strains, Pompelmo is more commonly found in boutique dispensaries and among specialty growers who appreciate its unique characteristics.

Pompelmo Strain Growing Information
Pompelmo is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average around 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should provide good air circulation and moderate humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support bud development.
