Also known as: Sunset Mint
Mint Sunset Strain Overview
Mint Sunset is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis market. The strain was developed through careful breeding programs aimed at creating a balanced hybrid with distinctive flavor profiles and reliable effects. While its exact origin story varies among different breeders, most agree it represents a deliberate cross between complementary parent strains designed to produce consistent results for both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that intensify under cooler growing conditions. Mint Sunset buds are often densely packed and coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a visually appealing contrast against the darker background colors.
Notable features of Mint Sunset include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition for its ability to provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its name accurately reflects the prominent minty notes in its flavor profile, which are complemented by subtle fruity undertones. The strain has become particularly popular among users seeking a versatile option suitable for various times of day and social situations.

Mint Sunset Strain Growing Information
Mint Sunset is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers within 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. 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 growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully regulated. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow slightly taller outdoors. Mint Sunset prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final flowering weeks to enhance coloration and terpene production.
