Purple Mints 3 seeds

Genetics & Origin of Purple Mints

According to Paradise Seeds, Purple Mints stands in the tradition of the house's popular Indica strains. The lineage is Purple Kush × Skunk #1 × Cookies: from the cross of Kush and Skunk, the breeders selected a phenotype with a particularly complex terpene profile and crossed it with a selected Cookies specimen, which contributes sweetness in the flavour and additional potency. The manufacturer speaks of a strain from Cali. It gives the THC content as 22%; it does not state exact Indica and Sativa shares or a CBD value. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the switch to 12/12. The Skunk share is also said to prepare the plant better for wet autumn weather. You can find a Skunk #1 as a strain in its own right at Barney's Farm, for example: Skunk #1.

Who Is Purple Mints For?

Purple Mints is a high-yielding Indica for growers with experience. It suits:

• Experienced growers who want to make full use of a very high yield of 650 g/m²
• Indica fans looking for a heavy, sedating effect
• Aroma lovers with a taste for banana, strawberry, mint and pine
• Outdoor gardeners in Mediterranean, dry and hot locations
• Gardeners who appreciate easy-to-trim, rock-hard flowers

It is less suitable for first-time growers and for consumers with little experience; because of its potency, the manufacturer expressly attaches a warning to it. You can find more potent strains under Super High THC Content.

Growing Purple Mints: Indoor & Outdoor

Indoor Growing

Indoors, Purple Mints is finished after 60 to 65 days of flowering. According to Paradise Seeds, it shows a classic Indica growth pattern: most of the growth takes place in the vegetative phase, which is why the breeding team recommends filling the grow room as far as possible during this time. Pruning the branches opens up the flower sites and speeds up the development of large flowers. In flower the plant is very hungry for nutrients; let it ripen fully before harvest. The manufacturer estimates the yield at 650 g/m² – because of this very high yield, we rate it as a strain for experienced growers. You will find the basics on feeding in the Growpedia.

Outdoor Growing

In a Mediterranean, dry and hot environment, Purple Mints reaches its potential effortlessly, according to the manufacturer; it estimates the yield at 900 g per plant. It is suitable between latitudes 50° north and south, and harvest falls in early October. In cooler, wetter locations the risk of mould rises with this bushy Indica, but according to Paradise Seeds its Skunk heritage and early finish prepare it better for wet autumn weather than many other strains. The manufacturer does not state a plant height. Only grow where it is legal to do so.

Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Purple Mints

According to Paradise Seeds, dried flowers of Purple Mints smell like freshly baked banana bread; if you crush them, a stinky yet fruity pungency unfolds that hangs heavy in the air. In the flavour, initial strawberry is followed by layers of sweetness and banana, and the long aftertaste brings mint, pine and eucalyptus with a hint of gas. The manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile with individual terpenes. The effect begins with a rush of euphoria that quickly gives way to a strong heaviness; according to this description, even experienced consumers feel the sedating effect, and larger amounts make you very sleepy. The THC content is 22%, but Paradise Seeds emphasises that the power comes from the interplay of all the constituents, and recommends the strain only to experienced consumers. The intensity depends on dose and tolerance.
