Cannalope Kush strain guide
Cannalope Kush is a sativa-leaning hybrid from DNA Genetics, bred from OG #18 and Cannalope Haze. It smells sweet and tropical, with honey and a woody base, and people mostly describe it as happy, focused and upbeat.
Where does Cannalope Kush come from?
Cannalope Kush comes from DNA Genetics, the same breeders behind Cannalope Haze. They crossed Cannalope Haze with OG #18, an OG Kush cut, to add some Kush weight to the fruity Haze.
One strain database lists it as roughly 70% sativa, and another database calls it a hybrid. It also goes by Cantaloupe Kush, and that database lists Island Haze and Cantaloupe Crush among its offspring.
What does Cannalope Kush smell and taste like?
Sweet and fruity comes first: tropical fruit, honey and pear in one strain database's description, with citrus in others. A woody, earthy base sits underneath, which is the OG side showing through. The name points to melon, and some people do pick up a light cantaloupe note.
One strain database lists myrcene, caryophyllene and terpinolene as its top terpenes. Terpinolene is common in fruity sativas and often brings a fresh, slightly floral sweetness.
Cannalope Kush effects: what people report
People most often describe Cannalope Kush as happy, focused and uplifted. Reviews call it energizing and mood-lifting, with creative and euphoric coming up too, while a few find it more relaxed than expected. One reviewer on one strain database noted it wasn't especially focusing for them, so reports aren't uniform.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling paranoid.
How strong is Cannalope Kush?
One strain database lists it at about 19% THC, and another database gives a range of 21% to 25%. That's on the higher side, with very little CBD.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. Your label's numbers are what matter, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains them.
Buying Cannalope Kush in Canada
Cannalope Kush and Cannalope Haze are easy to mix up, so check the full name on the label. You may also see it spelled Cantaloupe Kush.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that sweet fruit smell.
Cannalope Kush vs Cannalope Haze
Cannalope Haze is one of Cannalope Kush's parents, and both come from DNA Genetics. Cannalope Haze is the purer sativa, with sweet melon and a light Haze spice and a creative, uplifted reputation. Cannalope Kush keeps the fruit but adds a woodier OG base from OG #18 and tends to list a little higher in THC. If you want the brighter, lighter original, go with Cannalope Haze. If you'd like the same fruit with a bit more weight underneath, try Cannalope Kush.
