Cherry Mints
Also known as: Cherry Mintz, Cherry Kush Mints
Cherry Mints Strain Overview
Cherry Mints is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the contemporary dessert-strain wave of the late 2010s and early 2020s. This cultivar represents the intersection of two prominent flavor dynasties: the cherry-leaning Cherry Pie lineage and the cool, cookie-adjacent Mints family. The strain's precise lineage varies by breeder, with multiple genetic combinations producing similar cherry-mint profiles, though the most commonly reported crosses include Cherry Pie × Kush Mints, Cherry AK-47 × Kush Mints #11, and similar variations. The Green Organic Dutchman's version features genetics from Seed Junky, specifically Cherry AK-47 crossed with Kush Mints #11.
Cherry Mints presents as a well-balanced hybrid with some phenotypes leaning slightly indica-dominant while others maintain equal sativa-indica ratios. The flowers typically display dense, golf-ball to spear-shaped colas with substantial calyx stacking and generous trichome coverage. The buds often exhibit forest-green hues with vibrant orange pistils and may develop purple striping or fade coloration when exposed to appropriate temperature swings during late flowering. The strain has gained significant popularity in North American legal cannabis markets due to its distinctive dessert-like terpene profile and potent effects.
