Honey Mints
Also known as: Honey Mintz
Honey Mints Strain Overview
Honey Mints is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular cultivars: Wedding Cake and Animal Mints. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with the potent minty characteristics of Animal Mints. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Honey Mints has gained recognition primarily through West Coast cultivators and has since spread to legal markets across North America.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives the flowers a sugary appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. Honey Mints is noted for its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet, creamy notes with undertones of mint and earthiness. The buds are usually compact and resinous, making them suitable for various consumption methods including smoking, vaporizing, and extraction.
Honey Mints represents a balanced hybrid expression, though individual phenotypes may lean slightly toward indica or sativa dominance depending on cultivation practices and genetic expression. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and complex flavor profile. As with many modern hybrids, Honey Mints demonstrates how contemporary breeding techniques can create strains with specific aromatic and effect profiles tailored to consumer preferences.

Honey Mints Strain Growing Information
Honey Mints is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the expression of its minty characteristics.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to remain medium in height, making them manageable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Honey Mints responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The strain prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to overfeeding.
