Overview
Cool Mints, also known as Cool Mint or Cool Mintz, is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created as a phenotype of the legendary Girl Scout Cookies strain. This strain represents a hybrid cross containing Durban Poison and OG Kush genetics through its GSC lineage. Cool Mints has gained recognition for its distinctive minty flavor profile and balanced effects that provide both mental clarity and physical relaxation. The strain exhibits dense, grape-shaped forest green buds with super thin amber hairs and a heavy coating of tiny, golden-amber crystal trichomes. Dark green and royal purple hues peek through the heavy coat of crystals, giving the buds a visually striking appearance. With THC levels typically ranging from 20-28%, Cool Mints delivers potent effects while maintaining the balanced characteristics inherited from its Girl Scout Cookies genetics. The strain's sweet minty aroma gives a clear explanation of its name, offering users a refreshing sensory experience that sets it apart from other cannabis varieties.

Growing Information
Cool Mints is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it more suitable for cultivators with some experience. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with controlled conditions recommended to maximize terpene development and preserve the strain's distinct minty aroma. Plants typically reach medium height and develop sturdy stems capable of supporting dense buds. The flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks, which is standard for balanced hybrid strains. Cool Mints prefers moderately warm climates when grown outdoors and responds well to proper environmental control. The strain exhibits good calyx-to-leaf ratios, making trimming easier, and produces dense, resin-rich buds with substantial yields when properly cared for.
