KushMints x Blue Power (Rabid Hippie Cut x Blue Power) is Kush Mints crossed to Blue Power. Kush Mints is Kush Mints - the Bubba cut taken to Animal Mints. Blue Power is Sin City's flagship, and the male behind most of what they have released since. Between them they cover ground neither reaches alone. The known parent is doing real work here - it is what turns an interesting pairing into a line that comes out the same way twice.

Written this way, Kush Mints is the mother and Blue Power the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Kush Mints. Kush Mints - the Bubba cut taken to Animal Mints. That one comes from given as the original Bubba Kush cut pollinated by a selected Animal Mints phenotype. Bred by JBeezy at Seed Junky. Bubba brought the earth and the relaxation; Animal Mints brought the sweetness and the look.
• Father: Blue Power. Blue Power - the plant Sin City have leaned on for over a decade. Its own cross is a Power clone crossed to a White Moonshine male in 2010; the Power side is given as Sour Double x Master Kush, and White Moonshine as The White x Blue Moonshine. The mother was bought simply as Power from Progressive Options, a Prop 215 shop in the San Fernando Valley that dealt in elite cuts, and a persistent rumour says it was really the cup-winning Sour Dubb. Nobody has settled that.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Sweet mint over Bubba's earth from the Kush Mints side, against sweet kush and sour diesel with creamy blueberry and vanilla behind it from the Blue Power side.
• The Taste. Earthy Bubba with the mint sweetness on top up front, turning to berry and lemon over an earthy close through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• What to budget. The documented side, Kush Mints, runs eight to ten weeks. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sweet mint over Bubba's earth; the other gives sweet kush and sour diesel with creamy blueberry and vanilla behind it. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Two frames in one pack. Kush Mints is described anywhere from an even fifty fifty to seventy percent indica, depending who is writing. Blue Power is indica-dominant, usually put around eighty twenty. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• Opposite ends. Kush Mints is reported as relaxing, and it tests high - figures around twenty-eight percent are quoted; Blue Power as heavy on the body with the mood lifted rather than flattened. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Kush Mints is described anywhere from an even fifty fifty to seventy percent indica, depending who is writing. Blue Power is indica-dominant, usually put around eighty twenty.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. Kush Mints runs eight to ten weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Kush Mints as relaxing, and it tests high - figures around twenty-eight percent are quoted.
• The Body. Blue Power is reported as heavy on the body with the mood lifted rather than flattened, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
