Mint Delight
Also known as: Mint Delight OG, Mint Delight Kush
Mint Delight Strain Overview
Mint Delight is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies with a phenotype of OG Kush, creating a balanced hybrid that combines the cerebral effects of its sativa heritage with the physical relaxation of its indica lineage. Breeders specifically selected for the distinctive minty flavor profile and potent effects that have made this strain popular among connoisseurs.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex layering of calyxes. The visual appeal is enhanced by occasional purple hues that may appear in cooler growing conditions.
Notable features of Mint Delight include its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet mint with earthy undertones and subtle diesel notes. The flavor follows through on the aroma with a refreshing mint taste complemented by hints of lemon and pine. The strain's effects are known for their balanced nature, providing both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. This makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage.

Mint Delight Strain Growing Information
Mint Delight is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Mint Delight responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense buds. The strain benefits from a balanced nutrient regimen and may show nutrient sensitivity during flowering if overfed.
