Operation Mindcrime
Operation Mindcrime Strain Overview
Operation Mindcrime is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to have emerged from the underground breeding scene in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's name references the 1988 concept album 'Operation: Mindcrime' by the progressive metal band Queensrÿche, suggesting the breeders were fans of the band or the album's themes. Limited documentation exists about its exact origins, but it is believed to have been developed sometime in the early 2010s by independent breeders rather than large commercial seed companies.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes. The flowers are typically compact and chunky, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the bud structure. The aroma profile is complex, often described as a blend of fuel, pine, and sweet berries with a sharp, chemical-like undertone that some users compare to the scent of a mechanic's garage.
Operation Mindcrime is noted for its potent effects that begin with a cerebral rush before settling into a deeply relaxing body high. The strain has gained a cult following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its unique flavor profile and powerful psychoactive properties. Due to its limited commercial availability, most information about this strain comes from user reports on cannabis forums and community grow logs rather than official breeder documentation.

Operation Mindcrime Strain Growing Information
Operation Mindcrime is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when cultivated outdoors. 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 suitable climates.
The plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to improve light penetration and airflow. Operation Mindcrime prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with warm days and cool nights that can enhance the purple coloration in the buds. The strain is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good ventilation, especially during the flowering phase when the dense buds are susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that the plants respond well to slightly higher phosphorus levels during flowering.
