Slush Mint Cake is an extremely potent hybrid USA cultivar
with an intense terpene profile and a very high THC level of between
23-27% on average. Even more is possible in ideal conditions.
This
Indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain has super compact buds that
smell and taste powerful. If you like that intense Cali weed experience,
then you have come to the right place. Notes of sweet candy, creamy
ice-cream, and sour fruit come together in this beautiful American
cross.
Slush Mint Cake has a relatively fast
flowering time of 8-9 weeks on average. The buds are super white and
very photogenic. In addition, they are easy to cut and manicure with
unique bag appeal.
An XL yield marking means
seriously impressive yields are possible. The hybrid effect is strong,
long-lasting and has a fantastic head-high in addition to a relaxed body
stone. The high is a great combination of both a strong physical and
euphoric mental effect.
Antonio’s rigorous
pheno-hunting and lab-backed approach guarantee consistency, with Slush
Mint Cake already capturing the 2025 Highlife Cup’s “Mostly Indica”
category.
Slush Mint Cake has a very pungent and intense aroma
with a predominantly candy, gassy and creamy terpene profile with both
sweet, sour and fruity notes
Slush Mint Cake really has a very
pungent and intense terpene profile! This American Indica dominant
hybrid has a powerful sweet and sour, gassy and fruity aroma with
overlying notes of candy and creamy ice-cream.
Actually,
all phenotypes smell incredibly strong and powerful, some have that
real 'stinky & gassy' intense Cali scent profile, comparable to the
intensity of a GMO-type strain for example. There are phenotypes that
are a bit more reminiscent of the Ice Cream Cake genetics, here too you
can easily recognise the pungent Cali-weed scent. In general, this aroma
seems a bit fruitier and more like forest fruits mixed with cream. Very
tasty both in the vape and in a joint!
The
most dominant terpenes in this strain are limonene, linalool,
caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene and pinene. In addition, there is also a
relatively large amount of fenchol and terpinolene in the buds. There
are also trace amounts of camphene, ocimene, farsene, nerolidol,
menthone. And in half of the plants small amounts of geraniol can be
found. All plants get beautiful hard, compact flowers that glisten with
trichomes!
If you like potent, compact buds
with unique bag appeal then this is the strain for you! She smells and
tastes fantastic and her 25%+ THC levels ensures that she hits you
delightfully hard.
Slush Mint Cake® is a new
American hybrid that came from a special breeding project by Antonio who
has dozens of cannabis cups and one of Europe’s best independent
collections of elite genetics. This strain was created by crossing a
Slurmint mother with the well-known and award-winning Ice Cream Cake
genetics.
The Slurmint mother comes from a
‘pheno-hunt’ of the Slurmint IX, which is a cross between a cup winning
Slurricane and a Platinum Kush Mints. The Slurricane (also known as
Purple Punch x Do-si-dos) is an incredibly potent and compact USA strain
that is praised for the highest quality flowers with exceptional bag
appeal.
By crossing this again with a stable
Platinum Kush Mints, a very high-quality product has been developed. The
Slurmint has been popular with growers and smokers in Antonio’s
collective for years. By crossing her with the Ice Cream Cake genetics, a
new strain has been created that is unparalleled!
In
terms of growth pattern, she most resembles a hybrid with a reasonable
dose of Indica genes. This is most evident during the cannabis flowering
phase, where you will clearly recognise her Indica background by the
compactness of the buds. During the vegetative growth phase and the
beginning of bloom, you will see that Slush Mint Cake can develop large
leaves. These leaves usually have slightly longer stems than normal.
This is a typical characteristic of this strain.
Slushie
also has a somewhat stretched growth pattern. So using LST (Low Stress
Training) or HST (High Stress Training) growing techniques is
recommended to keep this lady under control. It is best to grow her with
the SCROG method (screen of green) and support her with nets.
During
the late flowering phase, the blooms become top-heavy and can sometimes
collapse under their own weight. Most plants will continue to stretch
for about 2 to 3 weeks following switching the light to a 12/12 cannabis
light cycle in an indoor grow.
Outdoors she
will also continue to stretch for a relatively longer period at the
start of the flowering phase. This makes for large XL plants that will
yield an average of between 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs) of dry buds. Especially
when grown in a sunny and dry climate. The average flowering time is
between 8 and 9 weeks.
The flowers of this
strain are bright white and very sticky! If you look at the buds with a
microscope you can imagine yourself in a winter wonderland! In general
Slush Mint Cake has an average-to-large internode distance. This makes
the buds grow more as individuals rather than merging together. The main
blooms can become very full and thick, and despite their slightly
smaller size, they can weigh quite a bit.
Because
this is an Indica dominant cross, the effect has a powerful, yet
relaxing, effect. These effects lean more towards a body-stone but
without feeling sluggish or sleepy. Unless you consume too much of
course, then she can deliver a real knock-out punch. But as long as you
use this strain in moderation, she will give you a wonderfully relaxing
body-high. The hybrid high feels both slightly euphoric and uplifting
and that will put a big smile on your face!
Due to
the very high THC level, this is a strain that is recommended for the
more experienced users who want to get well stoned - nice & high
with intense enjoyability. She is a hybrid cannabis seed variety with a
hybrid effect that is perfect for both day and night use.
Great
to relax with after a stressful day at work or after dinner when you
feel like an evening of Netflix & Chill or playing your favourite
games. Slush Mint Cake provides a long-lasting high that you can enjoy
endlessly. And because she tastes so great, you really can't get enough
of her!
Slush Mint Cake has a high XL yield in a
relatively short flowering time. The buds can become quite full and
hard but are usually average in size. However, these buds have a very
high density and because they become so compact they carry quite a bit
of weight. The flowers usually have an average-to-large internode
distance and therefore never grow completely closed. They grow more like
individual buds on the stem.
In an indoor
grow, Slush Mint Cake can provide large harvests. A yield of around
500g/m² (15oz per square yard) is usually certainly achievable. In the
hands of an expert, even more is possible and with the help of the right
growing method (SCROG) you can even reach around 600-650g/m² (18-19oz
per square yard).
Outdoors, plants grown in a
warm and sunny climate will yield around 1kg/2lbs per plant, especially
when they have been properly pre-grown indoors before the outdoor season
has started. Outdoors, it is best to SCROG her and/or provide her with
support nets. Because the buds become very heavy and compact and can
bend at the end!
Slush Mint Cake is an Indica dominant hybrid
cannabis seed variety that grows and blooms with great vigour. Her
branches grow quickly with the characteristic long leaf stems. These
longer stems let the leaves stand further outwards, away from the plant.
In
a compact indoor grow you will want to remove some leaves occasionally,
especially in a scrog. But in an outdoor grow this extra space ensures
better ventilation and light penetration. She generally has a somewhat
stretchy and 'leggy' growth profile. This should be considered when
considering the layout of the grow space and the final height of the
plants.
However, this stretching makes her
absolutely ideal for growing with the SCROG method. With this you can
also achieve the highest yields. If you can SCROG well and have managed
to fill the SCROG net, you will be surprised at her harvest potential.
She
is not the easiest or most predictable plant to grow. This makes her a
little less suitable for beginners but more for experienced expert
growers who know how to slow down and manipulate plants when desired.
During the late flowering phase, always provide a dry climate of around
40-50% RH with sufficient ventilation. This is necessary since the buds
can become genuinely rock-hard.
