Melted Strawberries by Bloom Seed Co
Unknown Berry-Fruit Line × Unknown Dessert/Gas Lineage
Melted Strawberries is a hybrid cultivar developed by Bloom Seed Co, noted for its prominent strawberry aroma and a rich, smooth texture. This dessert-leaning strain combines uplifting mental clarity with a deeply relaxing physical sensation, making it suitable for afternoon or evening use.
Appearance
Melted Strawberries typically presents dense, conical or spear-shaped buds with tightly packed calyxes and minimal small leaves. The best specimens display a vibrant green base, sometimes accented with magenta or violet hues, and are heavily coated in a frosty layer of trichomes. Peach to orange pistils add contrast to the colorful calyxes.
The buds are characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which simplifies trimming and enhances visual appeal. When broken apart, the interiors reveal a sticky, resinous quality consistent with the strain's name, often leaving a tacky residue on the fingers.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Melted Strawberries is dominated by a distinct strawberry scent, reminiscent of macerated berries with a sugary sweetness. Underlying this are creamy, vanilla-like notes that contribute to its dessert profile. Some phenotypes may also exhibit a subtle hint of fuel or chem in the background, adding complexity.
Upon inhalation, the flavor mirrors the aroma with fresh strawberry and sweet sugar notes, followed by a creamy, vanilla-like mid-palate. The exhale can carry a faint fuel or chemical undertone, balancing the sweetness. Lower temperature vaporization best preserves the nuanced fruit and cream flavors, while combustion may introduce caramelized sugar and toasted pastry notes.
Effects
Melted Strawberries is described as a hybrid that provides a balanced high, combining mental uplift and clarity with significant physical relaxation. The effects are generally composed and not overly stimulating, making it a versatile choice for various activities.
Consumers often find this strain suitable for social occasions, creative endeavors, or simply unwinding. The experience can range from mildly energizing to deeply calming depending on the individual and the dosage, with effects often lasting from afternoon into the evening.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles and cannabinoid percentages can vary between phenotypes and growers, Melted Strawberries is known for its significant resin production. The strain typically contains 18-22% THC and less than 1% CBD. The aromatic and flavor profiles suggest the presence of terpenes commonly found in dessert and fruit-forward strains.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Bloom Seed Co, Melted Strawberries is a modern, dessert-leaning hybrid cultivar. Its name suggests a lineage combining a bright, berry-fruit component with a heavy, resinous element that contributes to its characteristic texture. While specific parent strains are not universally published, it is thought to be a cross that bridges fruit-forward genetics with dessert or gas-type lineages, potentially analogous to influences from families like Gelato/Sherb or Chem/GMO.
Growing
Melted Strawberries is generally considered a moderately vigorous hybrid with a responsive lateral growth structure. It benefits from topping and trellising, and most phenotypes exhibit a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, indicative of good trichome production. Indoor growers can expect a stretch of approximately 1.5 to 2 times the plant's height after the light cycle flip.
Growers may encounter variations in candy intensity, creaminess, and the presence of back-end gas notes, making pheno-hunting beneficial for selecting specific traits. The line is known to clone reliably and maintain its aromatic qualities through the curing process. Environmental factors and humidity management are important for preserving the nuanced bouquet.
