Kush Mintz

Kush Mintz or Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 24% – 28% (Can reach up to 30%+ in optimal conditions) and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Minty, Doughy, Gasoline, and Earthy Pine profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (Indoor: 30–60 inches; Outdoor: up to 72 inches) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate to Heavy (Heavy feeder in mid-flower, sensitive in early veg).

This Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Bubba Kush x Animal Mints. The Kush Mintz strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Kush Mintz in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) is 6.0 – 6.5 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Kush Mintz needs to maintain a target temperature of 75°F – 80°F ($24°C – 27°C$) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Kush Mintz needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Kush Mintz is 18/6 or 20/4 (Standard Photoperiod) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Kush Mintz will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 72°F – 78°F ($22°C – 25°C$) is maintained and a target humidity of 50% – 60% RH is achieved, the Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Bubba Kush x Animal Mints is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 18/6 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Kush Mintz is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High (Highly responsive to Topping, LST, and ScrOG).

The most exciting phase, when growing Bubba Kush x Animal Mints is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Kush Mintz will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 68°F – 75°F ($20°C – 24°C$) and 40% – 50% RH (Crucial for mold prevention) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Kush Mintz is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Hybrid (Indica-Dominant; approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Sturdy, lateral branching with dense, resin-heavy colas

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Perspective & TipsAirflow is Non-Negotiable: Because the buds are exceptionally dense and "chunky," stagnant air is your biggest enemy. Ensure you have oscillating fans moving air both above and below the canopy.The "Frost" Factor: To bring out the signature purple hues and maximum trichome density, try dropping your "lights-off" temperature during the last two weeks of flower to around 60°F – 64°F ($15°C – 18°C$).Feeding Strategy: Start with a "light hand." Kush Mintz can be finicky with high EC (salts) early on. Once she establishes a strong root system in mid-vegetative, you can ramp up the Nitrogen. In flowering, she loves Phosphorus and Potassium (PK) boosts during weeks 4–7.
