Kush Mints

Kush Mints: An Evening Treat

Kush Mints seeds grow into medium-height, high-yield plants. With tons of forest green leaves forming a canopy below the main top bud sites, this plant is ready for harvest after a few short weeks of flowering. The buds are coated in crystal resin trichomes and feature orange and amber pistils growing from the top of the bud. Once the buds are completely dried and harvested, they are bright green with orange hairs deep within. The nuggets are dense and dank, and when broken apart, they release that enticing aroma we discussed earlier. While Kush Mints hasn’t won any major awards, it did take home the “Respect My Region” 2021 Strain of the Year award. This award, while not one of the major Cannabis Cup Awards, is well-respected in the cannabis community and holds a lot of weight with growers and weed engineers. Having this win on its resume has catapulted Kush Mints into being one of the most popular strains over the past 5 years.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The Kush Mints feminized marijuana strain can be grown both indoors and out with equal success, but some experienced growers advise growing it indoors. The reason some growers prefer to raise their Kush Mints female marijuana plants indoors is that they tend to produce larger yields when raised inside. If you’re growing indoors, experts say that you’re likely to end up with both larger yields and healthier plants if you can grow Kush Mints cannabis plants in a hydroponics setup. Grown outdoors, these plants prefer a warm, dry climate to really thrive in their harvest phase.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Kush Mints cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. To induce flowering, you will want to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This change will get you through flowering and into your harvest stage.
•  Moisture control: Maintain a humidity level of around 40-50% throughout the vegetative stage, while dialing back the humidity to 40% will ensure your plants hit the flowering stage without any mold or bud rot.
• Training Techniques: Topping, Low-stress training (LST) and Screen of Green training are the best options for this strain. These methods will produce higher yields by allowing more light and air to reach the lower branches of this grow. The more quality buds you have the higher your yields will be come harvest time.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Kush Mints:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Kush Mints seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying the Kush Mints strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 24%, the THC in this balanced hybrid strain is responsible for the uplifted and happy feeling you get when enjoying Kush Mints cannabis.

CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Kush Mints strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
