Mint Candy
Also known as: Mint Candy Kush
Mint Candy Strain Overview
Mint Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Candyland. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California-based breeders seeking to combine the potent effects of the Girl Scout Cookies lineage with the sweet, approachable flavors of Candyland. The strain gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that lives up to its name.
The plant typically displays dense, conical buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that give it a sugary appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. Mint Candy's most notable characteristic is its aroma and flavor profile, which combines refreshing mint notes with sweet candy-like undertones, creating a unique sensory experience that distinguishes it from other dessert-themed strains.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Mint Candy has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor. The strain represents a successful example of modern hybrid breeding that combines desirable traits from both parent strains while creating something distinctive in its own right.

Mint Candy Strain Growing Information
Mint Candy is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Mint Candy responds well to training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and topping to maximize yield. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plant benefits from regular feeding with balanced nutrients throughout its growth cycle.
