Gush Mintz is Purple City Genetics' Oakland-built flagship, a three-way stack of Kush Mints, F1 Durb, and Gushers that hits harder than its dessert-shop name lets on. Kush Mints brings a Bubba Kush and Animal Mints backbone, while F1 Durb roots back to Durban Poison genetics, giving the blend an unexpected sativa spine underneath all that indica weight. Crack the jar and menthol hits first, cool and sharp off the Kush Mints side, with gassy diesel sitting right underneath. A fruity, berry-forward finish traces back to Gushers, and that gassy, minty scent lingers long after the jar's closed.

Regulars on this one tend to describe a slow build: a heady lift up front that eases into a weighty, couch-leaning calm as the session goes on. Fans of the strain often reach for it later in the day, when the plan is to slow down rather than stay busy. The flower backs up the reputation visually, with chunky, tightly packed nugs that run dark green under deep purple streaks and a heavy coat of trichomes that leaves the buds looking frosted and resin-slick.

Gush Mintz is a moderate-difficulty indica-dominant grow that seed-bank data sheets estimate at roughly 5–6 feet indoors and up to around 10 feet outdoors, forming dense, resin-heavy buds that often take on deep purple hues. Flowering runs an estimated 9–10 weeks, or about 63–70 days, with outdoor plants usually ready to harvest in early-to-mid October in the Northern Hemisphere. Reported yields from seed listings reach up to around 650 g/m² indoors and up to about 800 g/plant outdoors under good conditions. It handles both indoor and outdoor setups and leans toward a warm, stable, Mediterranean-style climate, and since growers note it can be prone to powdery mildew, steady airflow and controlled humidity through flowering are worth keeping an eye on. These height, yield, and flowering numbers largely trace to seed-bank versions of Gush Mintz, so treat them as estimates rather than guaranteed figures.
