The Menthol

Hybrid

Also known as: Compound Genetics Menthol

What is the The Menthol strain?

The Menthol is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

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.
