Also known as: Animal Face Mints #10, AFM
Animal Face Mints Strain Overview
Animal Face Mints is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by Seed Junky Genetics through crossing Animal Mints with Face Off OG. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the 'cookies' and 'mints' family of cultivars that gained popularity in California's medical and recreational markets before spreading nationally. The strain represents a careful selection from the Animal Mints lineage, specifically chosen for its exceptional terpene profile and balanced effects.
Visually, Animal Face Mints typically displays dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes. The flowers often exhibit purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its distinctive aroma profile that combines gassy, minty, and earthy notes.
Notable characteristics include its complex terpene expression and consistently high THC content, which typically ranges from 25-32%. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its potent effects and flavorful smoke, earning several awards in cannabis competitions. While primarily available through clones and select seed releases, its genetics have influenced numerous subsequent hybrid creations in the modern cannabis market.

Animal Face Mints Strain Growing Information
Animal Face Mints is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-7 feet outdoors. Yield is moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 1-2 ounces per square foot indoors or 14-18 ounces per plant outdoors.
Preferred growing conditions include controlled indoor environments where temperature, humidity, and lighting can be carefully managed. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Outdoor cultivation is possible in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to dense bud structure, careful nutrient management as plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, and monitoring for common pests like spider mites. The strain benefits from a 1-2 week flush before harvest to optimize flavor.
