Strain Overview
The Scrooge #2 is the candy-and-gas keeper from Compound Genetics’ Scrooge pheno hunt. The same Jokerz 31 x The Menthol cross that produced the menthol-leaning #3 also produced this denser, more candy-forward expression. The #2 expression earned her number on heavier bud structure, louder candy-fruit terps, and a cleaner gas back end than her sister phenos. The verified cut is the version that growers want when the menu needs a Compound cut that hits the candy-gas lane harder than the standard Jokerz family does.
She is a heavy hitter in the boutique catalog. Bag appeal scales with the cure. Resin coverage runs high. The candy-fruit nose lands loud enough to convert customers on smell, and the gas back end gives her replay value that pure candy hybrids rarely match.

Lineage & History: The Denser Sister of the Hunt
Compound’s Scrooge program crossed Jokerz 31 into The Menthol and produced multiple keepers. The #2 expression is the one that landed denser on bud structure and louder on candy-fruit terps without losing the menthol character entirely. Where the #3 pulled menthol-and-mint forward and leaned into color, the #2 pulled candy and gas forward and leaned into density and resin. Same parents, two different keepers, both worth running for different reasons.
What separates the #2 keeper from the broader Compound catalog is THC ceiling and bud weight. Most Compound cuts run in the high-20s for THC. The Scrooge #2 reliably tests in the 28-32 percent range, putting her at the top of the modern hybrid shelf. Her bud density runs higher than her sister phenos as well, which is part of why she earned shelf placement.
If you have run anything from the Compound family, the architecture will feel familiar. The Scrooge #2 is the version of the cross that hits hardest, and the verified cut is the one to run when the room needs a high-potency candy-and-gas hybrid.
Flavor & Aroma
Smells like a sour candy bag dropped next to a fuel pump. The first thing that hits is bright pink-candy and stone-fruit sweetness, with vanilla cream pulling underneath from the Jokerz 31 mother. Right behind, a quiet menthol-and-cream lift comes through from The Menthol parent, but on this pheno it sits behind the candy rather than dominating. The gas rolls in last. Diesel, a touch of solvent, cracked black pepper. Around week 6 the room loads up fast.
On the inhale, candy and stone fruit hit first. The mid-palate brings vanilla cream and a soft cool-mint lift. The exhale closes on heavy gas, pepper, and a long candy-fade that hangs on the tongue past the smoke. Smoke is dense and oily at a proper cure. Joints leave heavy resin rings on the rolling paper.
She presses into rosin at premium yields. The candy-and-gas profile amplifies in concentrate form, which is why this cut earned hash-maker attention. Live hash leans deeper into the candy. Rosin pulls the gas forward. Either format reads loud and modern.
Effects & What to Expect
Onset is fast and assertive. The first ten minutes pull you up and forward with a clean cerebral lift, but the THC ceiling tells you immediately that this is not a casual cultivar. The opening window is talkative and a little giddy, with a slight pressure behind the eyes that signals the high-THC arrival. Pacing matters.
Around the 30 to 45 minute mark, the body component takes over. It is heavy. Limbs settle. Appetite shows up. The headspace turns contemplative and slightly heady, with a relaxed, couch-friendly quality that builds through the next hour. Music gets richer. Conversations slow down. The total experience runs about two and a half to three hours with a long warm tail.
This is an evening cultivar. The body weight is too pronounced for sharp morning work, and the THC ceiling demands respect. New users should start with a small inhale and wait at least 15 minutes before going back. Tolerance breakers will appreciate her replay value.
Growing The Scrooge #2
She runs as an intermediate grow. The dense bud structure means humidity discipline matters in the back half of flower. She finishes in 56 to 63 days indoors. Most growers chop at day 60 for the brightest candy expression and at day 63 for a heavier, gas-leaning back end.
Structure runs medium with strong central cola dominance and good lateral branching. Top her at the fourth node and run a SCROG screen for a flat canopy. Stretch lands around 1.5 to 2x through the first three weeks of flower. Indoor yields land medium-to-high, around 1.4 to 1.7 oz per square foot under solid 600-1000W equivalents. Outdoor harvests come down early-to-mid October.
Feed her moderately. The Compound family rewards balanced nutrition rather than pushed schedules. Push EC past 2.4 in early flower and she will tip-burn. Keep humidity below 50 percent from week 6 forward. Her colas pack tight enough that any sustained RH spike turns into bud rot fast.
Cool the room in the last 10 days. Drop nighttime temps to 62-66°F to deepen trichome coverage. Slow dry, long cure. Her candy-and-gas character is volatile, and a rushed dry flattens both sides. Twelve days at 60 percent RH followed by a three to four week jar cure is where the full Scrooge #2 profile lands.
