Megabowl by 11s Genetics
Unknown Strain (Original Strains) × Guide Dawg (implied) × Jacky Moon (implied)
Megabowl is a contemporary hybrid developed by 11s Genetics, a breeder recognized for creating balanced expressions of indica and sativa. This cultivar is consistently described as a hybrid rather than leaning heavily to one side, reflecting a deliberate effort to combine modern potency with a versatile effect profile suitable for various times of day.
Appearance
Megabowl typically grows into a medium-tall plant with a symmetrical structure and responsive apical dominance. Its leaves are often mid-width, and internodal spacing is moderate, promoting good light penetration. During flowering, buds form dense, compound colas with firm calyxes and a favorable bract-to-leaf ratio. The bud density is described as hybrid-like, which can improve airflow.
The plant may exhibit coloration ranging from lime to mid-green, potentially deepening to forest green with purpling at the calyx tips under cooler night temperatures. Resin development is robust, with trichome heads becoming visible as the plant matures.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma and flavor profile of Megabowl is reported to be complex, often described as gassy with sweet and floral undertones. Based on its potential genetic influences, it may integrate notes reminiscent of diesel with brighter citrus and sweet floral characteristics.
Effects
As a balanced hybrid, Megabowl is designed to offer a versatile effect profile. It aims to provide functional clarity rather than extreme sedation or stimulation, fitting a niche for consumers seeking potency with a balanced experience. This makes it suitable for a wide spectrum of use cases and potentially for different times of the day.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Megabowl is noted for its potential for modern THC levels, typically ranging from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is thought to contribute to its layered aroma and flavor, with Myrcene, Limonene, and Humulene mentioned as key components.
Growing Characteristics
Megabowl is generally considered a manageable cultivar for growers, with a flowering time commonly around 8 to 10 weeks. It exhibits moderate stretch during the flowering phase, typically 1.5x to 2x its height. The plant's structure is often described as stable and repeatable, making it suitable for both craft and commercial cultivation environments, performing well indoors and outdoors.
Origins and Lineage
Megabowl was developed by 11s Genetics, a breeder known for balancing indica and sativa traits. While the breeder has not publicly disclosed a definitive pedigree, public genealogy sources suggest it emerged from a diverse hybrid pool, potentially influenced by lines related to Unknown Strain from Original Strains, Guide Dawg, and Jacky Moon. This suggests a lineage that may integrate characteristics from chem-diesel and citrus-floral families.
