What is the Animal Mint strain?
Animal Mint (better known as Animal Mints) is an indica-leaning Cookies-family hybrid from Seed Junky Genetics in Southern California, most often traced to Animal Cookies × SinMint Cookies; this seed is its autoflowering form, crossed with ruderalis. The photoperiod original is reported at roughly 15–30% THC with a minty, earthy cookie smell. The documented auto version is listed at up to 21% THC, 8 to 9 weeks from seed, and about 80 cm (2.6 ft) indoors.
Animal Mint Auto keeps the herbal mint and pine smell of Seed Junky's clone on a plant that finishes in about two months.
Animal Mint strain specs
Seed Junky shares little about Animal Mints, so the strain rows lean on SeedFinder and GreenState. The grow rows come from Zamnesia's Animal Mints Auto, the most fully documented autoflower version; other seed makers' autos may differ a little.

Where does the Animal Mint strain come from?
Animal Mints was popularized by Seed Junky Genetics in Southern California, and its usual family tree is Animal Cookies × SinMint Cookies. SinMint Cookies is Sin City Seeds' Girl Scout Cookies × Blue Power cross, so Girl Scout Cookies sits on both sides. Seed Junky has said little about the recipe, and GreenState and some growers instead describe it as Blue Power × Animal Cookies, with Fire OG possibly involved; SeedFinder marks the lineage as uncertain.
This product is not the clone itself: seed makers took Animal Mints and crossed it with a ruderalis plant, then bred the autoflowering trait in. Zamnesia's version, listed on SeedFinder as Animal Mints × unknown ruderalis, is the auto with the most published data, and it is sold only as feminized seed. Note that Beaver Seeds lists the strain as Animal Mint, singular; it is the same Animal Mints line.
How is Animal Mint Auto different from the photoperiod Animal Mints?
Animal Mint Auto is faster, shorter and a little milder on paper than the photoperiod Animal Mints. The auto is listed at 8 to 9 weeks from seed and about 80 cm indoors, while the photoperiod plant needs a long veg plus a flowering period that GreenState gives as 10 to 12 weeks. Published potency for the auto tops out near 21% THC, against roughly 15–30% reported for the original clone, which comes from dispensary and lab figures rather than a breeder sheet.
Animal Mints went on to parent other famous strains. Seed Junky crossed it into Kush Mints (with Bubba Kush), and GreenState also lists Wedding Cake among its offspring.
How does Animal Mint taste, and what kind of high do people report?
Aroma and flavor
Animal Mint has a sweet, doughy cookie base cut with fresh mint, pine and a sharp diesel note, and Zamnesia also describes herbal and turpentine-like hints on the auto version.
- Mint
- Cookie dough
- Pine
- Diesel
- Herbal
- Sweet
Terpenes
- Myrcene
- Earthy, musky base listed for the photoperiod clone
- Caryophyllene

- Woody, herbal note listed for the auto version
Animal Mint's terpene list differs by source, and no seed maker has published lab percentages for the auto.
Reported effects
Animal Mint is mostly reported as a strong, euphoric head high that settles into deep body relaxation, and SeedFinder notes it can turn sleepy at moderate doses. Zamnesia describes the auto as mellow and best for afternoons, evenings and quiet time.
- Euphoric
- Relaxed
- Sleepy
- Happy
- Calm
Reported Animal Mint downsides include dry mouth, lethargy and headaches, and some people report paranoia or anxiety at higher doses.
The Animal Mint effects above draw on SeedFinder, GreenState and Zamnesia's description of the auto. People react differently, so read them as reports only; nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Animal Mint seeds?
Animal Mint Auto seeds are an easy grow: sow them straight into the final pot, keep training gentle, and let the plants autoflower on their own, with harvest about 8 to 9 weeks after the seed sprouts under 18 to 20 hours of light a day.
- GerminateDays 1–7
Plant Animal Mint Auto seeds directly in their final container, since autos lose growing time to transplant shock.
- Early growthWeeks 2–4
The bushy plants branch fast. Tie side shoots down lightly with LST in weeks 2 and 3 instead of topping.
- FlowerWeeks 4–8
Animal Mint Auto starts budding by itself around week 4; keep the same light schedule and watch humidity as buds firm up.
- HarvestAbout 8–9 weeks from seed
Harvest when most trichomes turn cloudy with a few amber. Outdoors, plants sown in late spring finish by midsummer.
Grow tips for Animal Mint
- Pick the final pot on day one. A container of about 11–15 L (3–4 gal) gives Animal Mint Auto room for roots without any transplant.
- Train gently, or not at all. With only about two months to grow, Animal Mint Auto recovers poorly from topping; low-stress bending opens the canopy safely.
- Plan for the smell. The mint, pine and diesel aroma builds strongly during bloom; an indoor carbon filter keeps it contained.
- Keep humidity low in bloom. Animal Mint buds are dense and resinous, and GreenState notes the line prefers drier air during flowering; aim for about 40–50%.
- Feed lightly. Compact Animal Mint Auto plants are easy to overfeed; begin nutrients at about half strength and raise them only if leaves pale.
- Use the summer twice. Because it finishes in about 9 weeks, Animal Mint Auto can fit two outdoor runs in a warm, long season.
Is Animal Mint the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want Animal Mints flavor without growing a tall, slow photoperiod plant
- Grow in a small tent, balcony or stealthy outdoor spot
- Are a newer grower who prefers no light schedule changes
- Like minty, earthy Cookies flavors and evening relaxation
Think twice if you
- Want the full potency reported for the original Seed Junky clone
- Like to top, clone and veg plants for months to build big yields
- Prefer a bright, energetic daytime strain
- Need a plant that can stay small without any odor control
