OG Mint
Also known as: OG Mintz, OG Mint Kush
What is the OG Mint strain?
OG Mint is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
OG Mint is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of two well-established strains: OG Kush and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. This combination brings together the classic OG Kush genetics with the dessert-like qualities of the Cookies family, resulting in a strain that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. Breeders specifically sought to create a variety that maintained the potency and structure of OG Kush while introducing the unique minty and sweet characteristics of Thin Mint GSC.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size, displaying a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, while vibrant orange pistils weave through the flower structure. The visual appeal is complemented by the strain's aromatic complexity, which combines earthy, piney notes from its OG Kush lineage with sweet, minty undertones from the Cookies genetics.
OG Mint has become particularly notable in the cannabis community for its consistent quality and reliable effects. The strain has been adopted by numerous commercial growers and breeders due to its stable genetics and desirable characteristics. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, OG Mint represents the ongoing evolution of cannabis breeding, where established classics are combined to create new varieties with enhanced or novel attributes. The strain's popularity has led to its inclusion in various cannabis competitions and has made it a staple in many dispensaries across legal markets.

How do you grow OG Mint?
OG Mint is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. OG Mint requires careful attention to nutrient levels, particularly during the flowering stage, as it can be sensitive to overfeeding. The dense bud structure makes proper airflow and humidity control essential to prevent mold and mildew. Some phenotypes may benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light exposure and yield.
