Dead Mints
Also known as: Dead Mintz, Dead Mints OG
Dead Mints Strain Overview
Dead Mints is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain is believed to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure due to the underground nature of many contemporary breeding projects. It represents a carefully selected cross that combines desirable traits from its parent genetics, resulting in a plant that appeals to both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking strong effects.
The strain's name references its two most prominent characteristics: the 'dead' likely alludes to its powerful, potentially couch-locking effects, while 'mints' describes its notable cooling, minty flavor notes. Visually, Dead Mints typically produces dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a white, almost snowy appearance. The nugs often display deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant green, accented by fiery orange pistils. The combination of high trichome production and colorful pigmentation makes this strain particularly photogenic and sought after in the cannabis community.
Dead Mints has gained recognition for its balanced yet potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's popularity has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations in cannabis circles and social media platforms, where users frequently share images of its striking appearance. While not as historically established as some classic strains, Dead Mints represents the ongoing innovation in cannabis breeding that focuses on maximizing both aesthetic appeal and psychoactive potency.

Dead Mints Strain Growing Information
Dead Mints is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. It prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent warmth and low humidity. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to stay medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management due to the plant's sensitivity to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield.
