Also known as: Double Mint OG, Double Mint Cookies
What is the Double Mint strain?
Double Mint is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and earthy flavor profile.
Double Mint is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype or cross of the famous Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) lineage, potentially involving Thin Mint GSC or other mint-forward varieties. Breeders have selectively cultivated Double Mint to emphasize its unique terpene expression, resulting in a strain that stands out in both aroma and taste. The strain emerged during the early 2010s as part of the 'Cookies' family expansion, becoming particularly noted in medical and recreational markets in the western United States before spreading more broadly.
Visually, Double Mint plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that exhibit a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The leaves tend to be dark green with some serration. One of the most notable characteristics of Double Mint is its pronounced aroma, which combines sweet, minty notes with underlying earthy and sometimes slightly fruity undertones, making it immediately recognizable to experienced users.
Double Mint is considered a relatively stable hybrid, offering effects that many users describe as well-balanced between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation for its consistency when grown under proper conditions, though some phenotype variations exist. Its unique flavor profile, which genuinely evokes fresh mint with sweet cookie-like notes, sets it apart from many other hybrids. The strain's popularity has led to its use in various crossbreeding projects, contributing to the development of other mint or dessert-themed varieties in the cannabis market.

How do you grow Double Mint?
Double Mint is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests generally occur in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control to maximize the minty terpene expression. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Yield is average to above average with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors. Double Mint prefers a stable climate without extreme temperature fluctuations and benefits from techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot, especially in dense colas.
