Take Mint Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip - SinMint Cookies taken to Green Ribbon, and put it over Meat Breath, Meat Breath - the strain that made savoury a selling point. That is Lamb Chops (Mint chocolate chip x Meat Breath). Thug Pug work from a very small stable of males. The consistency people talk about comes from that, not from luck.

Mint Chocolate Chip sits on the seed side here, Meat Breath on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Mint Chocolate Chip. Exotic Genetix's SinMint Cookies and Green Ribbon cross. That one comes from given as SinMint Cookies x Green Ribbon BX. The SinMint Cookies parent is Sin City's - Forum Cookies over Blue Power - so this plant carries their house male two generations back. The Green Ribbon backcross was chosen to lift the mint note and improve vigour and yield.
• Father: Meat Breath. Thug Pug's savoury flagship. That one comes from given as Meatloaf crossed to the Mendo Breath F2 male, Studly Spewright. Mendo Breath behind it is OGKB crossed to Mendo Montage, so the mutant Cookies line runs right through this. The other parent, Meatloaf, is genuinely obscure - some accounts call it a Girl Scout Cookies phenotype with an unusual savoury nose, but that has never been confirmed and should not be stated as fact. Meat Breath and Thug Pug's other OGKB crosses started travelling in 2015.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The two halves stack rather than blend, which is the whole reason to run it.

• The Aroma. Cookie dough and peppery spice from the SinMint side with a mint-herbal top note over it from the Mint Chocolate Chip side, against savoury and pungent - garlic and roasted notes against sharp chemical diesel, with earth, musk and a sweet vanilla-caramel undertone from the Mendo Breath side from the Meat Breath side.
• The Taste. Mint over sweet dough up front, turning to earth, nut and spice with diesel behind it through the exhale.

What each side brings

• What to budget. The documented side, Meat Breath, runs eight to nine weeks. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• The smell is a negotiation. Cookie dough and peppery spice from the sinmint side with a mint-herbal top note over it on one side against savoury and pungent - garlic and roasted notes against sharp chemical diesel, with earth, musk and a sweet vanilla-caramel undertone from the Mendo Breath side on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Structure varies hard here. A balanced hybrid, usually put at fifty fifty from one parent; dense purple-tinged flower under a wet, greasy frost from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Mint Chocolate Chip at balanced, with a brighter onset than the Cookies side alone would give and Meat Breath at heavy; caryophyllene leads its terpene profile. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Mint Chocolate Chip is a balanced hybrid, usually put at fifty fifty. Meat Breath is dense purple-tinged flower under a wet, greasy frost.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. Meat Breath runs eight to nine weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Mint Chocolate Chip as balanced, with a brighter onset than the Cookies side alone would give.
• The Body. Meat Breath is reported as heavy; caryophyllene leads its terpene profile, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
