Mint Slushie
Also known as: Mint Slush, Mint Slushy
Mint Slushie Strain Overview
Mint Slushie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable characteristics from its parent strains. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the trend toward dessert and beverage-inspired cannabis varieties, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. Breeders sought to create a strain with both appealing flavor profiles and balanced effects, resulting in this particular genetic combination.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that often display a striking contrast between deep green foliage and vibrant purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The nugs are typically coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a glistening appearance reminiscent of frost on mint leaves. Mint Slushie's name derives from its distinctive aroma profile, which combines cooling mint notes with sweet, fruity undertones.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other dessert strains and its adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and unique flavor combination, though it remains less widely documented than some more established varieties. As with many modern hybrids, specific characteristics can vary between different phenotypes and growing conditions.

Mint Slushie Strain Growing Information
Mint Slushie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation is generally recommended for better environmental control. Mint Slushie plants tend to be medium in height, typically reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may benefit from temperature fluctuations during late flowering to enhance purple coloration. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
