Death Mints
Also known as: Death Mint Cookies, Death Mintz
Death Mints Strain Overview
Death Mints is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s from the crossbreeding of two notable strains: Death Star and SinMint Cookies. This strain gained popularity in the North American cannabis market, particularly in regions with established medical and recreational programs. The name reflects both its genetic lineage and its distinctive minty flavor profile, though some confusion exists in the cannabis community regarding whether Death Mints and Death Mint Cookies represent the same genetic expression or slightly different phenotypes.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. The flowers often display a range of green hues, from deep forest to lime green, frequently accented by purple undertones that become more pronounced with cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure. The plant structure tends to be relatively compact with tight node spacing, making it suitable for various growing environments.
Death Mints is recognized for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype and cultivation methods. The strain has developed a reputation among experienced cannabis consumers for its potency and complex terpene profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Death Mints has established a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those seeking high-THC varieties with distinctive flavor characteristics.

Death Mints Strain Growing Information
Death Mints is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce more substantial harvests in suitable climates.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor specimens can grow taller under ideal conditions. Death Mints benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) to maximize light exposure and yield. The strain is somewhat resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation and humidity control, particularly during the flowering phase when the dense buds are susceptible to botrytis. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
