Animal Face potency is average.

Animal Face is a modern hybrid-sativa strain developed from the genetics of its sole parent, Animal Mints. It is credited to the modern era of selective breeding, where its genetic architecture prioritizes a high-yield potential. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing the plant in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering period that concludes at 67 days.

The terpene profile of Animal Face is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. These primary compounds collectively shape the sensory profile of the strain. This chemical composition contributes to a distinct aromatic and flavorful experience, grounded in the prevalence of its dominant caryophyllene and myrcene content.

As a THC-dominant cultivar with 24.2% THC, Animal Face provides effects described as creative, uplifted, and happy. These characteristics make the strain well-suited for social interactions, focus-intensive tasks, and the pursuit of creative endeavors. The genetic legacy of the strain continues through its notable offspring, which include Bernside and Animal Face x Kush Mints #11.
