  • Nearly equal indica/sativa split; great for balanced growth & effects
  • Unique scent profile: floral + orange blossom + sour-mint
  • Strong yield potential indoors (up to 2.2 oz/ft²)
  • Ideal for creative + energetic sessions

Germination: Starting Your Kush Mints Grow

  • Use the tried-and-true paper towel method: seeds between two damp (not soaked) towels, covered and warmed (~70-75°F).
  • Once a ~½″ tap-root emerges, plant root-tip down about ½ inch into your moist medium.
    ⚠️ Avoid sealed bags, airflow is key to healthy germination.

Week 1: Seedling Stage

Your plant is freshly sprouted and needs a gentle environment.

  • Humidity: ~65–70%
  • Temperature: 72–77°F
  • Light: 18–24 h cycle, low intensity
  • Mist lightly or water around root zone (avoid over saturation)
  • Ensure a soft breeze to build stem strength

Expect true leaves emerging and a bright green colour.

Week 2: Early Veg + CAN Training

Growth begins accelerating; you can start canopy training to get more from your light.

  • Begin LST or mild SCROG canopy training to get even coverage
  • Feed with ¼-strength veg nutrients
  • Humidity: ~60–65% |  Temp: 73–78°F
  • Water around edges of pot, not over watering

Your plant will begin to show branching and structure.

Week 3: Veg Expansion

Now the plant settles into full veg mode.

  • Height: ~10–14 inches
  • Increase nutrient feed to ~½-strength veg
  • Humidity: ~55–60% |  Temp: 73–78°F
  • Optional topping above 5th node to promote multiple colas

You’ll notice the signature minty-floral scent becoming perceptible.

Week 4: Pre-Flower Transition

Your plant is preparing for bloom stretch.

  • Remove lower leaves that block light or airflow
  • Humidity: ~50–55% |  Temp: 72–78°F
  • Tie down any tall branches, finish major training
  • Flip to 12/12 cycle indoors
  • Transition feeding to bloom nutrients

Pre-flowers begin to show. Flowering is almost here.

Week 5–6: Flower Initiation

Switch to bloom mode and watch buds begin forming.

  • Light: 12/12 cycle
  • Humidity: ~45–50% |  Temp: 70–77°F
  • Use bloom nutrients (higher P & K, lower N)
  • Aroma evolves into floral-mint over diesel base

The plant begins to stack buds and thicken.

Week 7–8: Bud Formation

The thickening stage when bud sites swell and resin production increases.

  • Humidity: ~40–45% |  Temp: 68–75°F
  • Maintain bloom formula and consistent watering
  • Provide support if branches become heavy
  • Expect heavy trichome coverage and strong floral-mint fragrance

By end of week 8 you’ll have dense, aromatic colas.

Week 9–10: Ripening & Flush

The final push to harvest time.

  • Begin flush with plain, pH-balanced water for 5–7 days
  • Temp: 65–70°F |  Humidity: ~35–40%
  • Monitor trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber
  • Harvest when pistils are ~70-80% darkened

Proper flushing gives smoother smoke and cleaner flavour.

Harvest & Curing

  • Dry: Hang plants in dark space for ~10–14 days at 60°F/55% RH
  • Cure: Place trimmed buds in glass jars; burp daily the first week
  • Let cure for 3–4 weeks to bring out rich floral-mint aroma and smooth profile
