Watermelon Zum Zum

Anyone expecting a distinct watermelon aroma from the name will not find it confirmed consistently in the user reports on Watermelon Zum Zum: some consumers describe the flavor as generally fruity or berry-forward. The hybrid is attributed to Dying Breed Seeds and traces back to a cross of The Original Z and Adonai. Several breeders have crossed it further, including Dying Breed Seeds itself, which bred Watermelon Zkittlez from a selection designated #3.

Community Experiences:

Relaxation is the common denominator in the reports read; beyond that, the accounts diverge. Some consumers describe a euphoric, uplifted mood and become talkative, while others notice mainly an effect in the body that can turn into drowsiness. A rapid onset is mentioned several times, a long-lasting effect once, and one further report describes a tingling in the body. Dry mouth appears as an accompanying effect.

Consumers describe the smoke as mild and the buds as compact and slow-burning. Observations from cultivation come from individual growers: one reports strong stretch up to the tent ceiling, several thick colas and very sticky buds, another dense, fruity-smelling colas.

Genetics and Origin:

Strain descriptions list The Original Z from Dying Breed Seeds and Adonai as parents. The Original Z is another name for Zkittlez, whose lineage is given as (Grape Ape × Grapefruit) × unknown; UKHTA 420 accordingly names the parent Zkittlez. Adonai combines Russian Kush in the LA Cut, Silver Tooth and Sweet Tooth. The original version is listed only as a clone.

One strain description deviates from this: it classifies Watermelon Zum Zum as sativa-dominant with 70 % sativa and 30 % indica and assumes descent from Watermelon Zkittlez. The other pedigrees show the reverse relationship, with Watermelon Zkittlez as an offspring. As the second parent of this cross, the sources name OG Eddy in some cases and Zkittlez in others.

Further documented descendants are:

• Lemon Verzace from Lemon Adonai × Watermelon Zum Zum, by Massive Creations; one source also lists the cross under Dying Breed Seeds
• Chubby Melon (× Raskal Berries) and Zummy Bearz (× Blue Power), both by Sin City Seeds
• Blue Melon by GLK Genetics, a multi-stage cross with Wedding Cake and Blue Z, among others
• JJJ by Legacy Genetics, crossed via Lemon Tree and Wildberry

Versions from Different Breeders:

Alongside the clone version from Dying Breed Seeds, there is an S1 line from UKHTA 420, created by selfing one of the breeder's own clones and available only in feminized form. For this version UKHTA 420 gives a flowering time of 9 weeks and a yield of 450 to 500 g/m²; the breeder names indoor, outdoor and greenhouse as growing locations. The breeder describes the buds as medium-sized and densely coated with resin and rates the odor intensity at 2 out of 5. The breeder recommends SCROG and hydroponics. The effect is described as activating, with a possible dampening aftereffect. UKHTA 420 has also crossed the line further with Watermelon ZumZum x Fruit Gum.

Aroma and Flavor:

UKHTA 420 describes a watermelon aroma for its version and a rarer phenotype with added mango. Other strain descriptions name citrus, pineapple and a sour note alongside sweetness, and floral and spicy notes in the scent; another lists berries, citrus and tree fruit. Limonene, myrcene and linalool are named as dominant terpenes in one strain description.

THC Content:

The figures from strain descriptions range from 17 to 21 % and 20 % THC respectively, one of them additionally stating 1 % CBG. For the S1 line, UKHTA 420 gives a THC potential of 24 %.
