Budtender Strain of the Month: Kush Mints

If your cannabis stash is in need of a fresh new addition, then the Kush Mints strain is here and ready to do exactly that!

Like a sweet dream where mint and cookies collide into an uplifting treat, this strain will leave you feeling calm, happy, relaxed, and energetic. As a perfectly balanced indica-sativa with high levels of THC, it’s heavy-hitter capable of delivering a euphoric high.

With that said, here’s everything you need to know about Kush Mints, courtesy of Ontario’s fastest-growing dispensary, True North Cannabis Co.!

A Brief History of the Kush Mints Strain

So, what’s the story behind the Kush Mints strain?

A standout hybrid, it inherited extraordinary characteristics from its legendary parents, Bubba Kush and Animal Mints. Seed Junky Genetics in southern California cultivated this incredible mix that has since become one of the most popular strains around.

Along with Kush Mints, Seek Junky Genetics is known for being the creators of other well-known hybrids and sativas like Wedding Cake, Girl Scout Cookies, Animal Cookies, Sour Diesel, and Gelato.

Renowned for its balanced sativa-indica ratio and packed with 25% THC and 0.01% CBD, the Kush Mints strain has made a name for itself as a heavy-hitter that offers a potent high. This strain is best enjoyed at night and after work.

Brace yourself for a whole new world of relaxation and euphoria.

Kush Mints Strain Profile

As you probably know, there are three main types of cannabis strains: indica, sativa, and hybrid. Indica typically offers more of a body high thanks to its elevated CBD content, while sativa is typically more head and energizing high. Hybrid strains tend to fall somewhere in between.

These different strains are also identifiable by their physical characteristics, whether that’s how they look, smell, or taste. They also tend to have distinguishable terpene profiles—we’ll explain what those are in more detail a little later.

In the meantime, let’s delve deep into the tantalizing allure of Kush Mints to explore how it’s captivated both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to the world of cannabis!

Appearance:

There’s no denying that Kush Mints is a visually striking bud. Besides its perfect blend of bright green hues, the trichomes of this plant make it appear as if it was covered in an icy layer of snow. Rusty orange pistils weave their way through the dense buds, adding a pop of colour to this mesmerizing strain.

Aroma and Flavours:

Prepare to be enchanted by the delightful fusion of peppermint and earthy undertones as you open the container and they waft through the air. The scent is both refreshing and inviting, leaving you eager to indulge.

When it comes to flavours, Kush Mints is a true symphony for the taste buds. Upon the first inhale, you’ll be greeted with a burst of cool mint, reminiscent of fresh peppermint leaves. This cooling sensation gently gives way to a rich, earthy taste, creating a harmonious balance that lingers on the palate.

The complex flavour profile of Kush Mints is truly one of a kind and does not disappoint.

Terpene Profile:

Ah yes, the terpenes. The simplest way to understand them is that they’re naturally-occurring chemical compounds in the plant responsible for its aromas. While the exact percentages may vary, this strain is typically rich in:

Limonene (0.61%)
Caryophyllene (0.34%)
Myrcene (0.28%)

If that piques your interest, then Kush Mints could be just what you’ve been looking for in a cannabis strain.

The strain’s balanced hybrid nature ensures that it offers both physical relaxation and a gentle cerebral euphoria. Get ready to unwind and bask in a dreamy and contented mindset. Remember, as with any strain, it’s always best to start slow and gradually work your way up.

How Kush Mints Is Grown

If you’re a beginner who’s decided on becoming a grower, then you’ll be ecstatic to hear that Kush Mints is actually relatively easier to grow compared to other strains.

This strain thrives best when grown indoors and done hydroponically, but can also be successfully grown outdoors in the right climate conditions.

Indoors, you can expect its flowering time to be 9 to 11 weeks and a yield of 16 to 19 oz. per square foot. Outdoor growers are likely to experience a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks and a yield of 11 to 14 oz. per square foot.

Kush Mints grow up to be about 30 to 60 inches tall indoors and 60 to 80 inches outdoors.

A Similar Strain Worth Trying

You wouldn’t say “no” to Girl Scout Cookies, would you?

Then you probably shouldn’t say no to a strain with the same name, either. Answer that knocking at your door to meet Kush Mints’ equally-impressive cousin.

With OG Kush and Durban Poison as its parents, Girl Scout Cookies has clearly got kush running through its veins. While not quite as potent, this strain has an average THC value of 19%—perfect for beginners looking to dip their toes in the lineage.

The best part is both strains share more than just dessert-y names, they also produce the same effects of euphoria, relaxation, happiness, and hunger. If Kush Mints passed your vibe check, so will Girl Scout Cookies.
