OG Melon Strain Review (Aurora)

Strain Reviews · By Arkady Kats · Updated · 3 min read

Contents

This OG Melon made by Aurora was sold as a Sativa-dominant strain.

This batch had moderate THC and a small amount of CBD. Its dominant terpene was limonene, and the rest of the profile was pretty complex, with nerolidol, myrcene, caryophyllene, and linalool also listed.

Below is an in-depth breakdown of this strain:

  • Type: Sativa-dominant (as labeled)
  • Potency: Moderate THC, low CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
  • Terpene Profile: Limonene, nerolidol, myrcene, caryophyllene and linalool (as labeled on this batch)
  • Packaging Details: Tested and reviewed 12 days after packaging
  • Pricing Details: Ordered from Aurora on their Daily Special, purchased 15 grams for $75.00 ($5.00 per gram)

A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy. We could not confirm this strain's parent strains on a breeder page, so we don't list a lineage.

This product was bought legally in Canada. The legal age and rules differ by province, and Health Canada advises buying only from legal sellers.

In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law, outside a 2026 rescheduling rule that covers only FDA-approved products and state-licensed medical marijuana. State laws differ.

Appearance: 1/5

OG melon weed nug

OG Melon nug

There was absolutely nothing good about the appearance of this weed.

When it comes to bag appeal, all of the nugs in the container were little, empty popcorn buds. Everything was badly trimmed and dry.

Aroma: 4/5

This was my favorite aspect of this entire OG Melon strain review.

The aroma goes all over the place, from citrusy to sweet, with some spiciness on top.

It’s the only score here that’s above average, so if you only buy weed based on smell (which I doubt), then you may like this!

Flavor: 1.5/5

When it comes to flavor, most of it got muted compared to the aroma.

I barely got anything other than slight herbal and woodsy notes on the inhale, with a bit of citrus on the exhale and aftertaste. It was too subtle for me, and the smoke left an itchy feeling in my throat.

Effects: 3.5/5

This OG Melon gave me a cerebral, euphoric feeling and an energizing, uplifting high. It felt functional and social to me.

Although I was pretty stoned right away, I stayed functional. There wasn’t much of a downer once the high wore off about an hour later. For me, it suited socializing, getting something done or creative work.

Effects differ from person to person, and NIDA's cannabis overview notes that anxiety, panic and hallucinations are more likely with strong products or large amounts. Start low if you're new.

Overall: 2.5/5

This OG Melon strain from Aurora is average at best, and personally, I don’t think I would rebuy it. If you like that couch-glued, completely stoned feeling, this won’t get you anywhere close.

I would suggest grabbing some Tsunami or AK-47 for that; the effect this emitted was ok but the whole experience left me wanting more.

Alternatives

  • Tsunami: If you want a heavier experience, try Tsunami. In my experience it is more relaxing and sedating than the energizing high of OG Melon.
  • AK-47: A well-known strain with a stronger, more intense high than OG Melon for many people.
  • Lemon Haze: If you enjoy the citrusy aroma of OG Melon, Lemon Haze is a citrus-forward option with an uplifting reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OG Melon strain indica or sativa?

The OG Melon I bought from Aurora was labeled Sativa-dominant.

How does OG Melon compare to other strains in terms of price and availability?

Price and availability vary by province, store and batch. I paid $5 per gram on a daily special, which was cheaper than most flower I buy.

What are the effects of OG Melon and how long do they last?

For me, OG Melon gave a cerebral, euphoric and energizing high that faded after about an hour. Duration depends on dose, tolerance and how you consume it.
