Genetics & Origin of Sour Melon
According to Karma Genetics, Sour Melon combines two of the most popular strains from its own house. The breeder gives the cross as KG Melon Cut × KG Sour D BX; the data sheet lists it as Melon × Sour Diesel Bx2. Both spellings refer to the breeder's Melon line and its backcrossed Sour Diesel line – whether this is the first or the second backcross is not clear from the information given. Karma Genetics lists the strain as a hybrid without putting figures on the Indica and Sativa shares; the breeder does not state values for THC and CBD either. The seeds are regular and photoperiod: they grow into male and female plants, which makes Sour Melon interesting for selection and your own breeding projects. Flowering only begins after the light cycle is switched to 12/12. Another Melon strain from the breeder is Tha Melon Regular.
Who Is Sour Melon For?
Sour Melon is a resinous hybrid with a long flowering time and plenty of scope for selection. It suits:
- Experienced growers who can plan for 8 to 11 weeks of flowering
- Selectors who want to choose a mother plant from twelve regular seeds
- Hobby breeders who use male plants for their own crosses
- Extraction enthusiasts who process resinous flowers
- Lovers of sour fruit aromas with a gassy note
The strain is less suitable for a first grow and for anyone who wants to harvest quickly and without any selection work. You can find more regular strains for growing outdoors under regular outdoor seeds.
Growing Sour Melon: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Karma Genetics gives the flowering time as 8 to 11 weeks. So plan for a range and judge ripeness by the trichomes rather than by the calendar. The breeder describes strong, productive plants with light green flowers and deep green leaves and rates the yield as medium to high; according to the manufacturer, experienced growers can push the strain to very large harvests. It does not state figures in g/m² or a plant height. Because these are regular seeds, it is best to germinate more seeds than the number of plants you want to keep and determine the sex in pre-flowering; you remove male plants unless pollination is wanted. The powerful aroma makes a carbon filter sensible. You will find the basics on climate and training in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
The breeder lists Sour Melon for indoors and outdoors, but for open ground states neither a harvest date nor a height or a yield per plant. With up to 11 weeks of flowering, late plants only finish ripening well into autumn; a warm, sheltered spot or a greenhouse is therefore the safer choice. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Sour Melon
Karma Genetics describes flavour and aroma as strong and pronounced: sour, overripe fruit meets a gassy, funky sweetness, and according to the breeder the individual notes complement one another. The manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile or individual terpenes. The flowers carry a lot of resin, which is why Karma Genetics also recommends the strain for extractions. The breeder describes the effect as strong and robust, as with most of its strains, and sees Sour Melon as a strain for connoisseurs. It gives no THC value and no further details on the type of effect – we deliberately do not add any estimates. With regular seeds, individual plants also differ more from one another. How intense the effect is depends on phenotype, dose and individual tolerance.
