Hemp 2 Magicbullet X Magicbullet

Magicbullet x Magicbullet

Hemp #2 (Magicbullet x Magicbullet) is a hybrid hemp cultivar developed as an in-line cross of the Magicbullet strain. It is recognized for its stable Type III chemotype, producing CBD-dominant flowers with compliant THC levels when harvested appropriately. This strain is valued for its consistent phenotype, dense flowers, and appealing aroma profile.

Appearance

Hemp #2 typically presents a medium plant stature, reaching 1.2–2.0 meters outdoors and commonly finishing at 90–120 cm indoors when trained. The plant architecture is semi-compact with a conical shape, featuring dense, resinous colas high in calyxes relative to sugar leaves. Anthocyanin expression may contribute violet or plum tones to bracts and sugar leaves, especially under cooler night temperatures.

Flowers are characterized by tight nodal stacking, often described as a “golf-ball” appearance on upper branches. Stems are robust, and root development is vigorous in well-aerated media, contributing to improved drought tolerance.

Aroma and Flavor Profile

The aroma of Hemp #2 is a complex bouquet derived from its Magicbullet parentage, featuring prominent dark fruit notes like blackberry and black cherry, layered with spice, fresh pine, and subtle cocoa undertones. Initial scents often include a musky aroma from myrcene, complemented by the peppery notes of beta-caryophyllene.

The flavor profile on the dry pull offers sweet berry jam with a herbal, slightly bittersweet edge akin to cacao nibs. When vaporized, brighter fruit and floral notes are retained, while combustion tends to emphasize spiced wood and pepper with a lingering berry aftertaste.

Effects

Users have reported that Hemp #2 can promote a focused state. As a CBD-dominant hemp cultivar, it is generally cultivated for its non-intoxicating properties while offering potential therapeutic benefits.

Terpenes and Cannabinoids

Hemp #2 is a Type III chemotype, meaning it is CBD-dominant with minimal THC. Typical CBD:THC ratios are reported in the range of 25:1 to 35:1, aligning with U.S. hemp regulatory standards. The terpene profile is influenced by its lineage, with notable terpenes including myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, alpha-pinene, and farnesene.

Growing Characteristics

This strain is bred for field reliability and manageable plant stature, making it suitable for both outdoor and indoor cultivation. It exhibits a preference for well-aerated media and benefits from practices that support strong root development. Growers may observe improved uniformity in canopy height and flowering timing compared to broader genetic crosses.

Hemp #2 targets a Type III chemotype with high CBD yields and desirable terpene output. It possesses some resistance to late-season botrytis and can develop attractive anthocyanin coloration under cooler temperatures. The flowering period is typical for hemp cultivars, with dense flower development in the later stages.

Origins and Lineage

Hemp #2 is the result of an in-line cross, specifically Magicbullet bred to itself. This self-pollination approach, also known as line-breeding, aims to increase homozygosity for desired traits such as stable Type III chemotype expression, flower density, and terpene production. The Magicbullet parent was developed during the early stages of U.S. CBD hemp breeding, focusing on high CBDA expression and resin density.

Frequently asked questions

What is the primary chemotype of Hemp #2?
Hemp #2 is a Type III chemotype, meaning it is CBD-dominant with significantly lower levels of THC.
What are the dominant aromas and flavors?
The strain features dark berry notes like blackberry and black cherry, complemented by spice, pine, and subtle cocoa. Flavors include sweet berry jam with herbal and cacao nib-like undertones.
