Power Mints
Also known as: Power Mintz
Power Mints Strain Overview
Power Mints is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Animal Mints with a selected phenotype of the Cookies family. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the ongoing development of dessert-themed cannabis varieties that combine potent effects with complex flavor profiles. Breeders sought to create a strain that would deliver both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, resulting in this balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, mint-green buds that are often heavily frosted with milky-white trichomes, giving them a sugar-coated appearance. Orange pistils weave through the compact flower structure, creating visual contrast. The buds typically have a tight, indica-dominant structure despite the strain's hybrid classification, with leaves that may display subtle purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. The visual appeal is enhanced by the generous resin production that makes Power Mints popular among concentrate producers.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, minty, and earthy notes with hints of gas and spice. The strain is known for its potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Power Mints has become particularly valued for its versatility, appealing to both daytime and evening users depending on dosage. The strain's genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a favorite among cultivators seeking reliable results with commercial appeal.

Power Mints Strain Growing Information
Power Mints is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors when given adequate space.
Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal control over environmental conditions, though the strain can perform well outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent warmth and low humidity. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to fungal issues in humid conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and bud development. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage. The strain exhibits good resistance to common pests but benefits from preventative measures in outdoor grows.
