About Kush Mints
Kush Mints was bred by Seed Junky Genetics (also known as JBeezy) by crossing Animal Mints with OG Kush. The strain is a masterclass in terpene blending — the familiar diesel and fuel notes of OG Kush are layered with a cool, refreshing mint and pine character that creates an entirely unique profile. Buds are dense, dark green, and heavily coated in trichomes. Kush Mints effects are balanced and potent: a euphoric head rush that settles into deep physical relaxation without heavy sedation. The strain's unique terpene profile and consistent potency made it a commercial powerhouse and a favorite among breeders for further crossing.

The Story & Lineage Origin
Seed Junky Genetics became one of the most respected breeders of the 2020s, and Kush Mints was their breakthrough commercial hit. The strain's unique mint-kush profile was unlike anything on the market, bridging the gap between classic OG Kush fans and the new wave of dessert/exotic terp chasers.
Kush Mints was widely cloned and crossed, becoming a foundational parent for dozens of subsequent Seed Junky releases including Gush Mints. Its popularity helped establish JBeezy as a household name in cannabis breeding.
