Which Should I Choose?
These are close cousins — Melmac is a stabilized descendant of the Penis Envy line — so both are high-potency, introspective strains for experienced users only. Choose Penis Envy for the iconic, well-documented benchmark of high-potency cubensis. Choose Melmac if you want that same PE-style depth with somewhat more consistent, faster-growing genetics; many users find it marginally more predictable. Either way, dose well below a standard cube, arrange a calm setting and a sitter, and avoid risky combinations.
