Bright orange pistils add contrast to the resin-rich structure.

Growing
Cultivating Triangle Mintz requires attention to its dense structure and potential for mold due to heavy trichome coverage. Growers should manage airflow and environmental controls carefully. Phenotypic variations exist, with some plants leaning towards the characteristics of Triangle Kush and others towards Animal Mints, potentially affecting their cultivation needs and sensitivities.
Origins & Lineage
Triangle Mintz is understood to be a cross between Triangle Kush, a Florida-origin strain, and Animal Mints, which itself descends from Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies. This lineage combines the deep, earthy, and fuel-like notes of Triangle Kush with the sweet, minty, and dessert-like qualities of Animal Mints. It is also noted that a specific phenotype, Triangle Mints #23, is widely recognized as Wedding Cake.
