Mint Pie
Also known as: Mint Pie OG
Mint Pie Strain Overview
Mint Pie is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that typically exhibits indica-dominant effects while maintaining some sativa characteristics. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the desirable traits of its parent strains, particularly the minty flavor profile and potent effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes and orange pistils. Mint Pie typically produces a strong aroma that combines sweet, minty notes with earthy undertones and hints of cherry. The flavor profile follows this aromatic complexity, offering users a smooth smoke with distinct mint and dessert-like qualities.
Mint Pie has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and appealing flavor. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where its parent strains are popular. The strain's effects are generally described as relaxing yet uplifting, making it suitable for various times of day.

Mint Pie Strain Growing Information
Mint Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and providing adequate support during flowering as buds can become heavy.
