Words & Pics: Green Born Identity – G.B.I.

When The Doc reads about “OG Kush” in a strain description of one of his favorite seed companies, he instantly falls for such a strain; like Pavlov’s dog, he almost starts to salivate and feels an irresistible urge to get it into his grow room as fast as possible…

Yes, he’s something like an OG Kush fetichist!

Not long ago, in the online catalog of Barney’s Farm, he discovered their new release, “Kush Mintz,” and it happened again – reflexively, he moved it into his shopping basket and ordered it. Kush Mintz contains Critical Kush, an OG Kush hybrid based on Himalayan OG Kush genetics.

Through the amalgamation of Critical Kush with Mintz, a first-class hybridization partner, something fascinating came into existence, according to Barney’s Farm:  A powerful, robust plant leaning to the indica side (70%), with a unique flavor and outstanding grow characteristics. For instance, the ample yields Kush Mintz can generate under both artificial and natural light – 600-650 g/sqm. These are attainable indoors, whereas outdoors, the dry flower outcome per plant may be counted in kilos even (up to 1.5 kg) if perfectly cultivated.

Another good message for outdoor cultivators is the strain’s early finish under natural light, ripening in the third to fourth week of September. But inside, Kush Mintz doesn’t dawdle either, reaching maturity within eight to nine weeks of flowering.

In the smell and taste department, it comes up with a charismatic flavor that has three main elements come to the fore: pine, coffee, and mint, enriched with a nice portion of sweetness. As a matter of course – how could it be any different with such a pedigree? Kush Mintz is also a rich resin producer, its beautiful buds wrapped in a thick blanket of trichome frost. The long-lasting, highly potent buzz it delivers is one of a relaxing and euphoric nature.
