Thin Mint Cookies

Thin Mint Cookies is cannabis flower, and Leafly describes the strain behind that name as a major sub-type of GSC. Leafly lists it as a hybrid out of OG Kush and F1 Durb. AllBud‘s entry under the same name is a hybrid too, with sativa and indica both put at 50%.

The family tree, from OG Kush to Lava Cake

Leafly’s genetics panel puts OG Kush and F1 Durb above the strain, with Gorilla Cookies and Lava Cake below it as children. Leafly adds that the strain draws on indica, sativa and hybrid ancestors, which it credits for a strong full-body effect.

AllBud writes the cross as GSC, OG Kush and F1 Durban Poison, and adds that the strain was among the finishers at the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup. If the type labels are new to you, our guide Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid breaks down what they mean.

THC readings from two sites

Leafly puts THC near 20%, with 1% CBG, and AllBud puts it at 24%. AllBud’s text adds that at least one test went above 24%. Health Canada’s lower-your-risks guide puts the peak of smoked or vaped effects at up to 30 minutes in; its advice for starting out is no more than 2 puffs, choosing a product at 10% THC or below.

Leafly’s grow notes

Leafly’s grow tips say the plant does best with a moderate amount of fertilizer and responds well to training, whether it is grown out as a multi-branched plant or run in a sea of green (SOG) setup. It puts the average yield at 25 to 30 g per plant.
