The Menthol
Also known as: Compound Genetics Menthol
The Menthol Strain Overview
The Menthol is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Compound Genetics in the late 2010s during the wave of dessert-fuel hybrids. Created by crossing Gelato 45 with a complex fuel lineage consisting of White Diesel × (High Octane × Jet Fuel), this strain was specifically bred to combine classic genetics with a modern cooling mint essence. The development process began in early 2018 with the goal of infusing a cooling, minty quality into a robust genetic foundation. The Menthol features dense, compact buds with spade-shaped dusty green nugs adorned with thin orange hairs and light amber undertones. The flowers are completely covered in a coat of milky amber crystal trichomes, giving them a frosty, disco ball-like appearance. This unique visual presentation showcases vibrant color contrasts and hints at the strain's high resin production and potency. The genetic precision achieved through Compound Genetics' advanced breeding techniques has resulted in a strain that stands apart in the cannabis market for its distinctive mint-vanilla-gas flavor profile and exceptional bag appeal.

The Menthol Strain Growing Information
The Menthol is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate difficulty level. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) with yields ranging from 450-650 grams per square meter, with exceptional grows achieving 700+ grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 0.7-1.5 kg per plant in Mediterranean climates, with harvest ready in early to mid-October. Plants grow to medium height and develop vigorous, well-branched structures with flexible branches forming a pyramid shape. Growers should maintain indoor temperatures between 24-28°C (75-82°F) and humidity levels at 50-60% during vegetative stage. The strain responds well to various training techniques including SCROG, SOG, topping, and tutoring. Plants exhibit moderate genetic heterogeneity from seed with roughly one-third expressing dessert-sweet phenotypes, one-third fuel-dominant, and one-third displaying the signature mint-vanilla profile.
