Strain Overview
Cement Mints is a heavyweight handshake between two of the loudest names in the modern dessert-and-gas conversation. Cement Shoes brings the couch-locking body presence that put it on the map. Kush Mints layers in cool, cookie-mint top notes and resin-drenched bag appeal. Stack them and you get a flower that hits like Cement Shoes and smells like a freshly opened tin of Thin Mints, an oddly specific combination that has caught on fast with connoisseur buyers.
This is a clone-first cultivar. It is not a seed-bank workhorse, which means provenance matters as much as the genetics themselves. Buy from the wrong source and you are gambling on a renamed pheno hunt with no paperwork. Our cut comes from a verified mother, mounted in tissue culture, screened for HLVd before any cuttings leave. The cut you order is the cut you get.

Lineage and History: Two Stoney Lines, One Bouquet
Cement Shoes is the slightly indica-dominant cult cut usually documented as Animal Cookies x OG Kush Breath x Wet Dream. Heavy resin, dense structure, dessert-meets-fuel nose, and a body presence that earned the name. AllBud lists the average testing in the 15-23% THC range with sweet nutty citrus and a minty berry exhale.
Kush Mints is the Seed Junky Genetics cross of Animal Mints and Bubba Kush. The line tests 20%+ regularly and has fathered or mothered a long shelf of modern cultivars across the dessert-gas family. Stack the two together and the grandparent list reads like a who’s-who: Animal Cookies, OG Kush Breath, Animal Mints, Bubba Kush. That is why Cement Mints lands like a greatest-hits hybrid instead of a one-trick pony.
Cement Mints is a clone-first cut that started in a closed circle and worked its way out through trusted nurseries. The lineage on the slip is the actual product. Ours is Cement Shoes x Kush Mints, mother held in tissue culture, screened for HLVd, ready to plant the day it lands.
Flavor and Aroma
Crack a fresh jar of well-cured Cement Mints and the room fills with menthol, butter, and a quiet OG funk. The first impression is chilled cookie-dough sweetness, think crushed Thin Mint with a faint dusting of cocoa. Underneath, the Cement Shoes side asserts itself: a savory, almost concrete-mixer earthiness with a kerosene-and-pine background that lets you know this is not a candy strain.
On the inhale, the flavor leans cookie and creamed mint, smoothing over the tongue rather than punching it. Mid-palate the menthol opens up. The exhale tilts darker: diesel, baked dough, a peppery bite that sticks to the back of the palate. Some phenos throw a soft floral lift behind the cooler mint character.
Concentrate runs amplify the menthol and the gas while quieting the sweetness, which is why processors covet this cut. Live rosin and hash rosin both reward a careful wash. The flower is its own animal, denser, more savory, and noticeably gassier through the back half of the bowl.
Effects and What to Expect
Cement Mints is a slow-rolling, body-forward hybrid that earns its name. Onset hits inside the first ten minutes, a warm pressure behind the eyes and across the cheeks that shifts quickly into the shoulders and limbs. The headspace is calm and a little dreamy rather than racy. Thoughts slow, conversations soften, the day’s tension drifts down a notch at a time.
Within the first half hour, the body side takes over. Cement Mints carries the same heavy, gravitational pull that made Cement Shoes a couch favorite, smoothed slightly by the more upbeat top from Kush Mints. Limbs feel pleasantly heavy. The urge to settle into the nearest deep chair is real. Despite that weight, the headspace stays clear enough for music, movies, and easy conversation. Fans of this cross describe it as uplifting at the start, couch-friendly at the back end.
Time-of-day fit: late afternoon, evening, pre-bed. Not a wake-and-bake unless your morning involves a long hammock. Pairs naturally with low-stakes social settings: a slow Sunday with friends, a long dinner, a night of gaming or albums. Talkative early, quiet late once the body load deepens. For experienced consumers it is a flavorful nightcap. Lower-tolerance users should keep portions modest. The body presence sneaks up.
Growing Cement Mints
She is a moderate-difficulty grow that rewards growers who already understand a Cookies-style canopy. Indoor flip to chop runs 8 to 9 weeks, with most growers pulling day 60 to 63. Outdoor finishes the first week of October at temperate latitudes. Structure pulls from both sides: Cement Shoes’ shorter, stockier frame combined with Kush Mints’ chunky internodal stacking.
Plants run medium-tall in veg, then squat down and pack on weight in flower. Lateral branching is solid, but the side limbs are not always strong enough to hold the cement-block colas this strain produces. Trellising is not optional past week three. Two layers of horizontal trellis netting will save your side branches from snapping under finished bud weight.
Top early at the 4th or 5th node and run gentle LST. Aggressive supercropping is unnecessary and can stall her. Yields run 1.0 to 1.6 oz per square foot (roughly 400 to 500 g/m squared) in dialed rooms. Outdoor in 100 to 200 L pots she can deliver 1 to 2 lb per plant with full sun and good IPM. She is a heavier feeder than her size suggests. Run base nutrients at 1.4 to 1.8 EC through stretch, then dial up calcium and potassium during weeks 5 to 7 to support density.
The biggest pitfalls are botrytis in late flower (those colas get tight) and powdery mildew if RH drifts above 55% during weeks 4 to 6. Hold flower RH below 50% from week 5 onward, defoliate selectively, keep airflow under the canopy. A 10 to 12 degree day-night swing in weeks 6 to 8 will pop the purple tones some phenos carry and tighten resin production. Slow-cure for the terps. Burp jars daily for the first two weeks, then drop to weekly. The menthol-cookie nose blooms after a 30-day cure.
