Indica Dominant Hybrid – 80% Indica / 20% Sativa
THC: 11% – 17%
An 80% Indica strain, Watermelon Kush is said to have an intense euphoric feeling with is very uplifting and energizing, something not normally found within the more traditional types of Indica strains. The buds are large and dense, and they are prized highly for their superior yield and content of THC. Patients who medicate with this strain will usually do so for the relaxing narcotic effects that it has, very useful for stimulating the appetite or using as an aid to sleeplessness. As you may expect, the aroma of this strain is very distinctively watermelon with a little bit of grape thrown in. Some users also say that there is a slightly hashy smell. The flavor is quite a treat, especially for those who are looking for a change from the “traditional” marijuana. It is easy to pick out the sweet taste of not only watermelon, but also strawberry and other berries.
If properly cured, Watermelon’s flowers give off a fruity aroma that blends tart berries and grape. While present, the strain’s watermelon scent is not especially prominent and may only be detected on a second or third inspection. Grinding up these buds yields some skunky notes, perhaps testifying to OG Kush in the strain’s lineage. When combusted, Watermelon burns with a smooth, fruity smoke that tastes like grape with some lingering sour traces on the exhale.
As with many predominantly indica strains, Watermelon’s high has a slow onset. The effects may begin as a tingle around the eyes and forehead. This odd sensation soon warps into a warm feeling that envelops the entire body, letting users know that they’re in for a physically relaxing experience.

Watermelon is not without some mental stimulation, though. Although this is a heavy indica, it comes without the dopey, incapacitated mindset of some stronger, knockout indica strains. Smokers may notice their thoughts rambling freely, and may find some concepts or stimuli to be more interesting than they otherwise might. Although Watermelon is unlikely to facilitate any deep, cerebral thinking, it’s just the thing for a creative brainstorm or for simple, idle daydreaming. While consumers typically remain lucid enough to carry on conversations, those with a busy schedule shouldn’t plan on getting any work done under Watermelon’s influence. Instead, this bud is a good accompaniment to kicking back and watching tv and the end of a long day or week of work. As the high passes or as dosage is increased, users should prepare for some intractable couchlock. Under the right circumstances, the strain can even lull smokers into a deep, restful sleep. Because of its mostly sedative vibes, this strain is recommended for nighttime rather than daylight use.
Watermelon can also have several potential benefits for medical cannabis patients. Its physically soothing effects can treat aches and pains, whether they’re temporary or chronic. It may also soothe everyday irritations like headaches and nausea. Meanwhile, the bud’s mood-elevating properties may temporarily take the edge off of mild to moderate cases of stress, depression, and anxiety. Finally, as noted, Watermelon can counteract insomnia with the force of its sedation. Because this strain is unlikely to trigger the kind of intense, recursive thinking that can lead to paranoia, it is a good option for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance.
No breeders have taken the reins of cultivating Watermelon on a commercial scale. As such, seeds are not readily available online and prospective growers will need to obtain clippings of the strain in order to grow genetically identical “clones.” The strain can be grown indoors or out, although success outdoors requires a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Watermelon flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and offers grows a high yield of flowers for their efforts.
Somewhat difficult to come by, Watermelon is worth snatching up if spotted on dispensary shelves. If you bring this bud out in social situations, its irresistible fruity aroma is sure to turn some heads — so be sure to bring enough to share.
