Stoned Cold Mint by Elev8 Seeds
Indica-dominant hybrids × Mint phenotypes
Stoned Cold Mint is an indica-dominant strain developed by Elev8 Seeds, noted for its distinct minty aroma and flavor profile. It was bred to combine aesthetic appeal with therapeutic properties, emerging from a period of focused exploration into novel terpene profiles and cannabinoid potency.
Appearance
The buds of Stoned Cold Mint are visually striking, characterized by a dense, crystalline sheen due to high trichome coverage. They display a vibrant spectrum of bright green hues, often interspersed with subtle silver and purple undertones, complemented by bright orange pistils against a dark, sticky background.
The plant's foliage exhibits an even distribution of mint green shades, which can appear almost fluorescent under UV light. This visual appeal is indicative of robust terpene production, with trichomes covering a significant portion of the bud's surface area.
Aroma & Flavor
Stoned Cold Mint offers a complex aroma dominated by a refreshing mint-forward presence, often described as peppermint with undertones of citrus and pine. This scent profile is largely attributed to its enriched terpene content, contributing to its invigorating and soothing qualities.
The flavor mirrors the aroma, beginning with a crisp mint taste reminiscent of crushed mint leaves, layered with subtle notes of citrus and earth. Menthol undertones blend with earthy and herbal hints, creating a cool, invigorating, and complex palate experience.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the provided notes, strains with similar terpene profiles and indica-dominant genetics often provide relaxing and potentially euphoric sensations. The focus on balanced effects suggests a nuanced experience that may appeal to both recreational users and those seeking relief.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Stoned Cold Mint is notable, with elevated concentrations often exceeding 1.2% of the total cannabinoid profile. Key terpenes identified include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene. The strain typically contains 10-20% THC and less than 1% CBD.
Growing
Stoned Cold Mint was bred for resilience, particularly in outdoor environments, though it can also be cultivated indoors. The strain's genetic background suggests it benefits from careful breeding to optimize terpene percentages and desired characteristics.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Elev8 Seeds, Stoned Cold Mint is the result of precise cross-pollination aimed at combining minty terpene characteristics with genetics known for resilience and balanced effects. The lineage is reported as a 50:50 genetic heritage, integrating traits from classic mint phenotypes and proven indica-dominant or balanced hybrids.
