Enlightenmint
Also known as: Enlighten Mint
Enlightenmint Strain Overview
Enlightenmint is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies with a phenotype of Thin Mint GSC. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a variant that combined the potent effects of GSC genetics with a distinctive minty flavor profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Enlightenmint has gained recognition for its balanced effects and unique sensory characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often display purple hues, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures, adding to their visual appeal. The structure is generally compact with a moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Enlightenmint is noted for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines sweet, earthy notes with a pronounced minty freshness. The name accurately reflects both its cerebral effects and its distinctive mint characteristics. While not among the most widely cultivated commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced hybrid nature and unique sensory qualities.

Enlightenmint Strain Growing Information
Enlightenmint is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage.
