Early Seeds (2009-2013): MasterballMelts (@jaxonsgarden) started growing in 2009 with a 99-plant setup. After a failed run & a leg injury, he stepped away-earning a business degree focused on HR & quickly rising to HR manager. But the plant never stopped calling.
First Dabs: While recovering, jaxonsgarden sister introduced him to dabs using a titanium “basketball hoop” nail. That sesh lit a fire-his passion shifted from flower to full melt.
Back to the Grow: Post-college, jaxonsgarden returned with a 4-light wash room, inspired by early bubble hash & rosin pioneers. From day one, it was small-batch, high-standard resin only.
Birth of the Brand: The name Masterball Melts came
mid-sesh during Pokémon-themed brainstorming: “If I had a brand, it’d be Masterball Melts-’cause only a Master Ball can catch these melts.” Equal parts nostalgia & elite resin metaphor-it stuck.
Melt-Only Mission (2020-Present): In 2020, he left cultivation behind to focus solely on washing. He began sourcing fire from living soil legends like Will Ardz & Tar Hill-refusing to touch material that didn’t meet full melt standards. Melt > yield, every time.
Hash Hall of Fame:
Dab Rite Invitational 2023 – 1st Place (Grape Gas)
Ego Clash – 2x 2nd Place (NorCal & Spain)
King of Z Hill (SF) – 3rd Place
Zalympix 2025 – Best Overall, Taste & Terps (@tornadoterpz x Beyond Organics)
Culture First: Built on consistency-not clout-Masterball Melts grew through word-of-mouth & pure intent. “I just want to make the best hash possible & help people,” he says. The work speaks to meltheads who value purity over polish.
Dab Legend Status: On @hotdabspod(2023), @jaxonsgarden hit a 900° dab with a 60-second hold, pressed Z Berries live, & dropped a Pikachu rig tee-blending craft, culture & content like a true terp Pokémon master.
What’s Next: With new collabs, an shifting to single sourcing & rising standards, Masterball Melts keeps pushing the melt game forward. The message is simple: passion > scale. Always.
