Kush Mints

This Kush Mints flower comes from a cross of Animal Mints and Bubba Kush, a strain Leafly also lists as Kush Mintz.

Breeders and a 50/50 split

Leafly and AllBud, which lists it as Kush Mint, both rate the strain an even hybrid, 50% sativa and 50% indica. Leafly’s write-up names Mr. Nice Seeds as the breeder. Our Kush Mints guide notes that most sources credit Seed Junky Genetics, a breeder based in California.

Fluffy forest-green nugs with amber hairs

AllBud describes large, fluffy, forest-green nugs with amber undertones and amber hairs, covered in sparkly clear trichomes. One Leafly reviewer describes small, very green buds flecked with purple and orange, with a creamy, piney nose and a little gas.

Sharp mint over coffee and earth

AllBud’s tasting notes are a very sharp mint with coffee and earthy-cookie undertones, and the aroma it gives is woody and sweetly earthy, with a rich, spicy coffee note and a strong hit of mint. Leafly’s flavour tags are menthol, mint and ammonia, its reviewers compare the taste to fresh mint, and its terpene data lists limonene first, then caryophyllene and linalool.

Grinding right before rolling is Steven De Guzman’s advice in our guide: the jar can smell faint, because the mint and gas often wait until a bud is snapped or ground. Once it opens up, he describes cool mint and pine on top of a gassy kush base with a biscuit note.

28% THC in Leafly’s write-up

On Leafly, reviewers pick relaxed, euphoric and creative more often than any other effects. AllBud describes a warming tingle in the spine that grows into deep relaxation through the limbs.

Leafly’s text puts THC at 28%, with CBG near 1%, and a potency reading above average; AllBud gives an average of 22 to 24%. Against those numbers, Health Canada‘s lower-risk guidance starts a first try at a puff or two of something at 10% THC or less, and allows up to 30 minutes for inhaled effects to peak. On Leafly, 509 ratings average 4.6; AllBud’s 91 votes average 4.7.
