Watermelon Z
Also known as: Watermelon Zkittlez, Watermelon Zkittles
Overview
Watermelon Z is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (55% indica, 45% sativa) created by crossing the popular Original Z strain with Watermelon. Originally bred by Barney's Farm, this strain has gained significant recognition for its exceptional flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain exemplifies the modern trend of candy-flavored cannabis varieties, offering a taste experience reminiscent of watermelon Jolly Ranchers with tropical fruit undertones. Watermelon Z produces dense, olive-green buds adorned with purple hues and orange pistils, all covered in a thick layer of frosty, purple-tinted trichomes that give the flowers an appealing visual appearance. The strain is known for its vigorous growth patterns and generous yields, making it popular among both commercial and home cultivators. Its relatively short flowering time of 63-70 days makes it an efficient choice for growers seeking premium quality without extended cultivation periods.

Growing Information
Watermelon Z is considered moderately easy to grow, suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. Indoor flowering time is 63-70 days with plants reaching 100-140cm in height and yielding 550g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants grow 150-200cm tall and can produce up to 1000g per plant when properly maintained. Harvest typically occurs in late September for outdoor grows. The strain prefers well-draining soil, balanced nutrition, and temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C). Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold. Plants respond well to LST and HST training techniques. The strain lacks strong mold resistance, making indoor cultivation preferable in humid climates.
