About Gush Mints

Gush Mints was created by Seed Junky Genetics, crossing their own Kush Mints with F1 Durb (a Do-Si-Dos x Durban Poison cross). The strain takes the cool minty-diesel profile of Kush Mints and adds a layer of gas, fruit, and funk, creating a more complex and punchier terpene profile. Buds are dense, dark green, and coated in trichomes. The effects are powerfully balanced — an immediate euphoric rush followed by full-body relaxation that doesn't sedate. Gush Mints became a parent of several notable crosses including the coveted 'Gush Mints #1' phenotype. The strain was nominated for Leafly Strain of the Year in 2025, cementing its status as a modern classic.
