Also known as: Mint Macaroon
Mint Macaron Strain Overview
Mint Macaron is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies with an unknown macaron-flavored phenotype. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the dessert-themed cannabis trend, gaining popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. Breeders sought to combine the potent cerebral effects of the Girl Scout Cookies lineage with unique minty and sweet dessert flavors, resulting in this carefully crafted hybrid.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often tightly packed and resinous, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage. Mint Macaron's most notable feature is its complex aroma and flavor profile, which combines sweet, herbal, and minty notes with subtle earthy undertones.
Mint Macaron has gained recognition in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its versatile effects and appealing sensory characteristics. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor combination and reliable effects. The strain represents a successful example of modern breeding techniques focused on enhancing specific terpene profiles while maintaining desirable psychoactive properties.

Mint Macaron Strain Growing Information
Mint Macaron is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Mint Macaron responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from adequate nutrient support during the flowering phase to develop their full flavor profile.
