Myrcene (dominant) - earthy-herbal foundation, musky clove-like undertones, responsible for sedative qualities; Limonene - bright citrus accents, zesty lemon-lime quality, tropical fruit character; Beta-Caryophyllene - subtle spicy peppery notes, slight hashy quality on exhale, interacts with CB2 receptors for stress/anxiety relief. Note: Some lab analyses show caryophyllene as dominant at ~32% vs myrcene-dominant profiles at 45-50%.

Humulene - woody earthy undertones; Pinene - fresh herbal qualities (trace amounts); Linalool - floral touches in some phenotypes. Combined effect creates layered experience: sweet watermelon and tropical fruit initially, followed by subtle berry/grape notes, finishing with earthy slightly hashy character.

Mental: relaxation, contentment, peace, slight euphoria, reduced stress/anxiety, sense of wellbeing, enhanced appreciation for music/food/tactile sensations, occasional creative inspiration. Physical: deep body relaxation, potential couch-lock at higher doses, reduced muscle tension/pain, appetite stimulation (strong munchies effect), progressive drowsiness, sleep support.

Effects plateau at 30-45 minutes and maintain steady for 2-3 hours. Gentle comedown with effects gradually fading rather than dropping abruptly. Edibles/tinctures extend duration to 6-8 hours with amplified sedative qualities.

Gradual gentle onset beginning with mild euphoric lift within 5-10 minutes - cerebral buzz bringing mental clarity and subtle mood elevation. Indica characteristics emerge 15-20 minutes in: warming relaxation spreads from head through body. Not sudden couch-lock but progressive unwinding - muscle tension dissipates, physical comfort increases.

Dry mouth; dry eyes; mild dizziness or disorientation especially when standing quickly; heavy lethargy or extended sleep with overconsumption; anxiety or paranoia possible at very high doses for susceptible individuals (rarely reported).

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Morning or early afternoon unless rest is goal; situations requiring focus, coordination, or quick decisions; high-energy social events; driving or operating machinery; job interviews or important meetings; activities requiring mental sharpness; physical activities needing sustained energy or fine motor control.

Exact parentage unknown; original breeder never claimed credit. Possibly connected to Berry family genetics. Also marketed as Watermelon Kush or Watermelon OG (same core genetics). Emerged from California underground market before legalization; genetics have since been used as parent stock for numerous hybrids including Watermelon Zkittlez and autoflowering variants.

THC: 20-26% typical range, some phenotypes test up to 29%. CBD: <1% (minimal). CBG: trace amounts 1-2% in some cultivars. High THC-to-CBD ratio produces pronounced psychoactive and body-relaxing effects primarily through CB1 receptor interaction. Potency contributes to extended duration: 3-4 hours from flower, longer from concentrates.

Watermelon Zkittlez - parent/close relative, candy-sweet fruit profile, relaxing indica effects; differs in more diverse fruit flavors and slightly more pronounced euphoria; Blueberry - classic indica with fruit character and myrcene/caryophyllene dominance; differs in distinct blueberry flavor vs watermelon, slightly lower average THC; Grape Ape - heavy indica with grape flavor and couch-lock potential; differs in grape vs watermelon notes, even heavier sedation; Purple Punch - indica-dominant with sweet fruity terpenes; differs in complex dessert-like qualities and grape soda character vs watermelon freshness; Northern Lights - classic indica with deep relaxation and sleep support; differs in earthier herbal profile with less fruit character.

Moderately resistant to common pests and mold but requires good air circulation and RH below 50% during final weeks to prevent bud rot. Generally hardy with moderate nutrient requirements; tolerates minor pH fluctuations and nutrient imbalances. Responds well to calcium and magnesium supplementation, especially in hydroponics. Performs reliably in quality soil with organic amendments.

Indoor: 55-63 days (8-9 weeks) from 12/12 light cycle to harvest. Outdoor: late September to early October in Northern Hemisphere. Some phenotype variation depending on growing conditions and desired trichome maturity.

Indoor: 400-500 g/m² under optimal conditions with proper training. Outdoor: 500-600 g per plant in favorable climates with abundant sunlight. Dense resinous buds contribute to respectable yields despite relatively compact plant size.

Classic indica structure: compact, bushy growth with short internodal spacing and robust lateral branching. Indoor height: 24-36 inches in standard pots (can be kept shorter with training). Outdoor: 70-90 inches maximum under optimal conditions. Responds well to topping and training. Dense bud structure requires attention to humidity control during late flowering.

Dense heavy nugs with substantial trichome coverage giving frosted appearance; vibrant color contrasts (deep greens with purples, bright orange pistils); immediately apparent fruity-sweet aroma with dank undertones; slightly sticky from resin when broken apart but not overly wet/dry; properly cured flower springs back slightly when squeezed; smooth smoke without harshness; flavor delivers on aromatic promise (sweet fruit forward, earthy-herbal finish). AVOID: premature harvest, hay-like smell, brown or excessively dry buds, lack of trichome visibility, weak or off-putting aroma.
