Pillow Mints


Origin 1: Bonafide Cannabis bred and grew an Oregon cultivar called Pillow Mintz or Pillow Mints by 2020, crossing Woody Kush with Cheese Gas. A documented flower batch tested at 16.76% THC and 0% CBD. The reviewer described an initially warm, relaxing body buzz that grew increasingly sedating, spacey, and disorienting as the session unfolded.

Origin 2: Grassroots, Curaleaf's cannabis brand, now sells a separate in-house-bred Pillow Mints with substantially higher reported potency. Its exact genetics remain unsettled: some listings claim Foreign Kush Mints × Sugarcane Kush, while another identifies Bubba Kush × Animal Mints. Grassroots' own product copy does not publicly settle the lineage, so neither cross should be treated as canonical. This version carries a cool mint and sweet vanilla profile layered over pine, earth, dough, and light pepper, with consumers commonly reporting a calm mental onset followed by deep physical relaxation.

Same pillow, different stuffing. The Bonafide version is an older Woody Kush × Cheese Gas hybrid, while the current Grassroots strain is a separate proprietary indica with disputed parentage. Check the producer before assuming the name tells you what's inside.

Reviewers describe both versions as deeply relaxing, but they do not follow the same path. Bonafide’s older cultivar reportedly begins with a warm, sedating body buzz before becoming spacey and disorienting, while the Grassroots version is more often described as a gradual slide from a calm headspace into heavy physical relaxation and sleepiness. The cool mint and vanilla character belongs specifically to Grassroots’ version, so neither its flavor nor its substantially higher potency should be applied to Bonafide’s unrelated Woody Kush × Cheese Gas cross.

Pillow Mints is a moderate-difficulty grow that reaches 3–4 feet indoors and stretches to 5–6 feet outdoors, with a dense, compact structure that benefits from topping at the fifth node and light low-stress training to open up its thick canopy for better light penetration. Flowering takes roughly 8–9.5 weeks, producing yields around 350–550 g/m² indoors and 400–900 g/plant outdoors when given adequate light and airflow. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a warm Mediterranean climate with temperatures between 68–80°F and humidity kept around 45–50% during flowering to prevent mold on its resin-heavy colas. Nutrient sensitivity is moderate with a tendency toward calcium hunger, so supplementing with silica and keeping a steady feeding schedule works best.
