Okay, so here’s the Mexican Melon #2 smoke report.
In case anybody’s forgotten, the Melon #2 was the plant that grew really randomly, with branches kind of growing out all over the place. This one:
I chopped her on day 64 or maybe day 63, when I chopped everything else, but she should’ve flowered for another two weeks, at least. Maybe even three more weeks. Having said that, she turned out really, really good. I’m super-impressed and actually a little,“Damn, how much better would she be if she finished properly…?” haha.
Anyway. Looks:
I could see the “Regular Joe” dickheads looking at this weed and being like,“Uh, yeah, do you have any Zkittles?” but anybody who knows anything about cannabis would probably look at it and be like,“Okay, yes, I’m very interested in blazing that nug…” haha. It looks like some serious Sativa shit, for sure. Not as crystal-y as usual, but again, I think raising the temps in the grow room and then washing it might’ve had something to do with that. Plus, it was chopped way too early, so there’s that.
Smell: Fucking UNREAL. Straight-up spicy/wintergreen/peppermint/spearmint. I’ve grown some weed that has a little “wintergreen” or “spearmint” thing going on, but nothing like this. I’ve sniffed around here and there for hints of anything else, but there isn’t. The Mexican Melon #1 has some “earthy/peat moss” shit going on (I’ll post that review later), but the Melon #2 is just full-on peppery, minty, unique, one-of-a-kind sorta smell. Very good and interesting.
I’ve mentioned this to a few people in DM’s, but if you’ve never read this before, you should: https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/strains-of-yesteryear-by-dj-short.76/
DJ Short’s description of the Mexican strains in that article, specifically the Guerrero and Michoacan, reeaalllyyyy reminds me of the Melon #2.
Flavor: same as the smell. And it really lingers. After smoking it, I feel like I just brushed my teeth haha. It’s just a peppermint/wintergreen/spearmint/“fresh breath” sorta thing that I still taste hours and hours after blazing it. Again, unique.
Effect: Just what I was hoping for, really. I smoked this for the first time on Friday afternoon, after not having smoked any weed at all for a couple weeks. But I’ve smoked it multiple times after that and the effects have been the same. Very giggly, very happy, very positive. Verrryyyyy stony. Very smile-y. I hate it when reviews of strains say,“Relaxing, but not sleepy,” but that’s exactly how the Mexican Melon #2 smokes. So far, I’ve hit joints of it three, four and five times. Seems like the more you smoke, the higher you get. When I hit the joint only three times, it actually made me a little sleepy and I ended up taking a nap. But when I hit the j four and five times, I was up up up. But it wasn’t racy. I hit a j four times and then ate a turkey sandwich the first time I smoked it. Usually after I eat a turkey sandwich, I crash-the-fuck-out an hour later, but I was wide awake this time. And laughing my ass off the whole time.
Having said that, it’s not “racy” or “speedy” or whatever. It’s spacy, a little bit, I’ve definitely zoned the fuck out and gotten in my head some while my girl and I are watching tv or whatever, but it’s not… I dunno. I wouldn’t call it “introspective,” either. Its just good-ass weed. Kind of exactly what I was hoping for with this cross, actually. Makes me feel like I’m in eighth grade again, smoking weed for the first time. Almost.
It’s also an extremely long-lasting high. I rolled a j of this one for my friend Natalie just a couple days after I got the #2 in jars, about a month ago. I didn’t partake myself, but she smoked it, we hung out for a few hours and then she went home. Texted me later and was like,“Man, I’m still pretty high,” like six hours after she smoked. I was a little skeptical, especially because the only time she blazes is when she comes over to our house. But yeah, she was right, the high definitely lingers. It’s a good, solid two hour stone, followed by another two hour slooowwwwwww comedown. I still feel this weed four or five hours after blazing. Not baked the whole time, of course, but I feel it for a long time. Again, very impressive for a plant that was chopped way early.
Overall: 10+++. Or AAA+++. Whatever. This is goddamn good weed. I’m SUPER-fucking impressed with it. Looking forward to growing it again. I kinda wish I had planted some more seeds of it for the current run, just so I had a bunch for next summer. That’s what kind of weed it is. Good-time weed, for sure. I don’t think anybody could have a bad experience blazing this one. Very nice job, @Doc.D.
I’m too nervous about knowing where, in fact, the brink of death is so I usually only let them go a few days past where I think they need help.
