Growing Tips for Kush Mints

Kush Mints plants grow to a medium height indoors and slightly taller outdoors. The buds of the plants are dense and forest green with purple flashes throughout. Known for its resilience toward fluctuating temperatures. Like many cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a practical choice for growers with ample experience, as they can be difficult to maintain. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Kush Mints plants. Humidity levels should fall between 50-60% during the vegetative stage, and drop to 40-50% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture helps eliminate the risk of mold while encouraging a more potent terpene profile.

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, Topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) training techniques are best suited for this particular strain. These techniques require the grower to trim the non-producing parts of the plant while reinforcing the heavier branches and buds with screens or nets so the weight of the buds doesn’t compromise the integrity of the entire plant. Using stakes or trellises will help with the weight of the heavy buds and prevent the breaking of branches.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Kush Mints prefers greater amounts of nitrogen, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Kush Mints strain has a flowering period of approximately 60-70 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in early to mid-October. Indoor growers will produce up to 650 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 1000 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable. 

Dominant Terpenes in Kush Mints

Kush Mints’ unique peppermint flavor and earthy, piney, spicy aroma are due, in part, to dominant terpenes beta-caryophyllene, linalool, and limonene. Beta-Caryophyllene is a peppery and spicy terpene that can be found in cinnamon and black pepper. Linalool is found in several species of flower and when found in cannabis plants, gives off a lavender-like fragrance. Limonene is commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, and when found in cannabis plants, it gives off a fruity scent and flavor.
