Brain Melt
Also known as: Brain Melt OG
Brain Melt Strain Overview
Brain Melt is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, cerebral experience with strong physical relaxation. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources agree it represents a carefully selected cross between established genetics rather than a completely novel lineage. The strain gained popularity through word-of-mouth recommendations among experienced consumers seeking intense psychoactive effects.
The strain's name reflects its reported effects, with users describing a sensation that begins with strong cerebral stimulation before transitioning to deep physical relaxation. Brain Melt plants typically display characteristics of both indica and sativa varieties, with dense, resinous buds that are often medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a distinctive appearance with deep green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually tightly packed with a dense structure that breaks apart to reveal complex internal patterns.
Notable features of Brain Melt include its complex aromatic profile and potent effects that many users describe as 'cerebral' or 'mind-melting.' The strain has developed a reputation among connoisseurs for its ability to produce strong psychoactive experiences while maintaining a relatively clear-headed quality in moderate doses. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, Brain Melt has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its balanced hybrid characteristics and reliable performance.

Brain Melt Strain Growing Information
Brain Melt is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Brain Melt responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height. The plants prefer stable temperatures between 20-26°C (68-79°F) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Special considerations include providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become heavy and ensuring good air circulation around the plants.
