For indica fans who relish the couch lock effect, Purple Mints is in the tradition of some of Paradise’s big hit indica strains.
It comes with a warning due to its extreme potency, and is recommended for experienced consumers only.
With THC levels at 22%, this Cali strain delivers extreme potency along with a terpene profile that is unique, complex, and full of flavor surprises.
Purple Mints is ready for harvest in 55–60 days and yields an estimated 650 grams per m² indoors or 900 grams per plant outdoors.
As the plant matures, it exhibits an attractive palette of colors, including purples, oranges, and resinous white tones, making it as visually appealing as it is potent.
Lineage
Purple Mints is a Purple Kush x Skunk #1 x Cookies cross.
From the Kush x Skunk cross, a very special phenotype was chosen for its complex terpene profile, which adds depth and uniqueness to the strain.
The selected Cookies parent adds sweetness to the flavor as well as additional potency.
Aromas, Flavour and Effect
Aromas and Flavour:
The terpene profile of Purple Mints is a true standout.
Its dried buds smell like fresh-baked banana bread, but when crushed, the aroma intensifies into a fruity, pungent explosion with hints of strawberries, sweetness, and banana.
The aftertaste is equally complex, combining mint, pine, eucalyptus, and subtle gas (fuel) notes for a layered flavor experience.
Recreational:
Despite its indica dominance, Purple Mints offers an initial euphoric rush, followed by a powerful, sedative heaviness.
Even experienced consumers will feel its potent effects, which can lead to deep relaxation or even hibernation-like sleep when consumed in larger quantities.
Medical:
The sedative and anti-anxiety properties of Purple Mints are notable, making it a good choice for consumers seeking deep relaxation or relief from stress.
However, due to its extreme potency, it is not recommended for patients with limited cannabis experience.
Cultivation
Indoors:
Purple Mints displays a classic indica growth pattern, with most of its development occurring during the vegetative stage.
Growers are advised to maximize grow space during vegging and prune branches to open up bud sites for enhanced flower production.
In the flowering stage, the plant is nutrient-hungry, and letting it complete its full cycle will ensure a bountiful harvest.
Indoor Yield: 650 g per m²
Outdoors:
In Mediterranean or dry environments, Purple Mints can reach its full potential effortlessly.
While cooler, more humid conditions may pose a mold risk, the strain’s Skunk lineage and early outdoor finish make it better equipped to handle such challenges compared to other indicas.
With proper care, the plant will reward growers with dense, resinous buds.
Outdoor Yield: 900 g per plant
Suitable for growing outside between 50º n.L. and 50º s.L., Purple Mints finishes early in October when grown outdoors.
