How to grow Chocolate Mint OG Auto
Taste
Seb's take
The autoflowering line of the same cross, stepped down with OG Kush Auto and a dose of ruderalis — mostly indica, with a sativa splinter for interest. Pungent chocolate and pine on the nose; the high is relaxed and creative, with an appetite to match. A tenth sativa goes a long way.
Where it comes from
Humboldt Seeds Organization brought Chocolate Mint OG into an autoflowering line by crossing it with OG Kush Auto, stepping the whole thing down with a dose of ruderalis. The result leans mostly indica, 70% of her makeup, with 20% ruderalis to flower her automatically under any light schedule and a 10% sativa splinter to lend interesting overtones to flavour and effect. A well-judged conversion of a distinctive photoperiod plant into something quicker and more forgiving, that tenth of sativa going a long way.
Nose & flavour
The nose is pungent, with the chocolate character of the parent line carried over a base of resinous pine. It is a deep, savoury-sweet aroma, the cocoa and pine playing off one another while a pungent funk keeps it grounded. A distinctive, characterful profile that keeps much of what made the original worth growing, in a plant a good deal easier to manage.
The high
The effect is relaxed and creative, with an appetite following close behind. It settles the body while keeping the head engaged enough to stay productive, that small sativa share lending it a mobility the indica bulk alone would not. A well-rounded, comfortable experience, easy company for an evening without pinning you flat to the chair.
Growing it
An autoflower with a medium frame between 100 and 150cm, flowering across a longer 75 to 78 days. Indoor yields sit at a solid 450 to 500 g/m², with THC stated at 18 to 21% and a trace of CBD at 0.1%. Being an autoflower, she flowers on her own schedule under any light regime, which makes her forgiving of a grower who would rather not fuss over timing. A dependable, characterful plant that returns a good crop across her flowering stretch for little intervention.
