Punch Mints
Punch Mints
Also known as: Mint Punch
Overview
Punch Mints is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created from crossing Thin Mints (also known as Thin Mint GSC) and Purple Punch. This strain represents a sophisticated blend of two popular West Coast genetics, with Purple Punch contributing its sweet grape and berry flavors derived from its Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple lineage, while Thin Mints adds the distinctive minty, cookie-like characteristics that have made the Girl Scout Cookies family so renowned. The resulting cultivar maintains an even 50% sativa and 50% indica split, offering users a well-balanced experience that combines the best of both parent strains.
Punch Mints has gained recognition for its notably high THC content, typically ranging from 19% to over 33% in some batches, making it particularly appealing to experienced cannabis consumers. The strain exhibits dense, resinous buds with light green coloration, orange pistils, and a heavy coating of trichomes. Its terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol, contributing to both its distinctive flavor and therapeutic potential. Users report that Punch Mints delivers effects that begin cerebrally before settling into deep body relaxation, making it effective for both recreational and medicinal applications.

Growing Information
Punch Mints is considered a relatively easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. The plant exhibits medium to tall height characteristics and produces dense, frosty buds with heavy trichome production. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), while outdoor harvests are generally ready by October. The strain is reported to be resistant to pests and mold, making it appealing to novice growers.
