Mint Sunset is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Summer Sunset OG. Developed as a versatile option for cultivators, this strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from these plants, which require a moderate level of expertise and a 63-day flowering period to reach full maturity.
The sensory profile of this cultivar is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, with terpinolene serving as the primary aromatic compound. This is supported by myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene, followed by bisabolol, limonene, beta-pinene, and nerolidol. Deeper notes are provided by the inclusion of pinene, linalool, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, p-cymene, and ocimene. This diverse chemical composition results in a distinct aromatic experience that reflects its specific terpene balance.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Mint Sunset is recognized for producing effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the strain a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid with sleep. The genetic legacy of this plant continues through its notable offspring, Mint Gelato Sunset, which carries forward its parent’s lineage.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
