Today, WiFi Mints from Seed Junky might be garnering the<br \/>\nmost hype of any new strain up and down the West Coast \u2014 and that\u2019s thanks to<br \/>\nits legendary parents.<\/p>\n<p>One side of the WiFi Mints lineage comes from the WiFi 43 bred by California seed breeder OG Raskal and hunted down by famed Los Angeles cultivators <a href=\"\/planting-the-seed-the-complete-history-of-the-jungle-boys\/\">the Jungle Boys<\/a>. The other side of the lineage is the very same Animal Mints male that Seed Junky used to create the similarly popular Wedding Cake strain. (Animal Mints is a cross of Animal Cookies paired with Blue Power and Girl Scout Cookies.) The results are buds that smell like both mint and pine, with a light fuel note in the background and a hard kush flavor punching through.<\/p>\n<p>But a notable heritage isn\u2019t the only thing establishing WiFi Mints as a strain to watch. WiFi Mints has garnered so much enthusiasm because one of the top breeders in the world at the moment \u2014 <a href=\"\/tag\/the-village\/\">The Village<\/a> \u2014 added it to his rotation. <\/p>\n<p>The Village has been working with WiFi Mints for over a year and a half. He received a cut of the strain from the Jungle Boys, who originally scored the most-famed WiFi Mints phenotype from Seed Junky, who in turn was gifted the strain by the grower who popped it. In an Instagram post describing the lineage of how the cut got around, Seed Junky noted that in The Village\u2019s hands, Wifi Mints was being grown to its full potential.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Erik-Christiansen-Photography.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46379\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Village told Cannabis Now that he received<br \/>\nthe WiFi Mints cut the second time he linked up with the Jungle Boys. \u201cI didn\u2019t<br \/>\nknow much about it. The [Jungle Boys] were just like, \u2018Here, try this.\u2019 And it<br \/>\nwas right when Seed Junky was blowing up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Though he thought at the time that it was cool to<br \/>\nget another strain from Seed Junky, given the buzz Seed Junky was starting to<br \/>\ncreate, The Village still didn\u2019t know much about the gem he\u2019d gotten his hands<br \/>\non. After his first batch was harvested he realized it was impressive. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had some buddies try it and they were like, \u2018Dude,<br \/>\nthis is some of the best kush I\u2019ve ever tasted.\u2019 It actually has that minty<br \/>\nkind of kush taste,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>From there, The Village did a full run of the<br \/>\nWiFi Mints in one of his rooms. He brought the resulting flowers to the High<br \/>\nTimes Sacramento Cannabis Cup in 2018. While The Village made it to the podium<br \/>\nwith his personal cut of Mimosa and not WiFi Mints, some of the most excitement<br \/>\nthat weekend swirled around the WiFi Mints.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSacramento was where we released it and it got<br \/>\npretty big, because everyone just loves it,\u201d he said. \u201cI always tell people<br \/>\nnine out of ten times I\u2019m getting tagged online, it\u2019s because of WiFi Mints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Village said he has yet to make any extractions with the WiFi Mints because the flowers are just so nice and in demand. Of course, he says, he wouldn\u2019t mind smoking some fat WiFi Mints <a href=\"\/diamond-mining-thca-diamonds\/\">THCA diamonds<\/a>, but part of the fun is seeing that immaculate flower through to the final end stages \u2014 holding high quality in your hands before you roll it up and flaunt it at the world of boof pre-rolls. <\/p>\n<p>To go along with the<br \/>\nflavor and eye-catching buds, WiFi Mints is also enjoyable to grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I like is it doesn\u2019t stretch much,\u201d The Village said. \u201cI have never grown the WiFi 43 from the Jungle Boys, but it has a short-grown kind of style. I wouldn\u2019t say it is like a bubba or indica-leaning [strain], because it just doesn\u2019t have any crazy internode spacing or anything<br \/>\nlike that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Village also enjoys that it stays short when<br \/>\nit enters the flowering stage, which is always a plus for indoor cultivators. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/WiFi-Mints-The-Village.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46376\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOverall, it\u2019s just an easy plant to grow,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t have to do anything crazy if she\u2019s happy overall. She throws down. She doesn\u2019t change much on the look when other strains might change batch to batch. I enjoy growing her and basically have had her in every room for a long time now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Village said the WiFi Mints is a staple<br \/>\nstrain for any garden, which is high praise from a guy who needs the space to grow<br \/>\nall his own original genetics. When asked how a strain like WiFi Mints seals<br \/>\nthe deal on getting real estate in one of his grow rooms, he said the process<br \/>\nchanges, but he tends to keep an eye out for trends and what people are liking.<br \/>\nThat methodology has led to the WiFi Mints in every room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLately, I\u2019ve been switching it up with other<br \/>\nstrains,\u201d The Village said. \u201cWe just got that Modified Grapes I\u2019m trying to get<br \/>\nin every room. We just got a Kombucha cut we\u2019re trying to get in every room. So<br \/>\nit changes as I find things, but WiFi Mints, Jungle Cake, Wedding Cake\u00a0\u2014<br \/>\nthose are kind of my go-tos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Village also noted that he\u2019s not really growing<br \/>\nBanana Punch or Mimosa anymore because they\u2019ve gotten so popular. This might<br \/>\nmean that one day, WiFi Mints will be phased out of his grow room. But for now,<br \/>\nit\u2019s the star.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US<\/strong>, have you ever smoked<br \/>\nWiFi Mints?<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published in Issue 37 of Cannabis Now. <a href=\"\/print-digital-magazine\/\">LEARN MORE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/strain-hotspot-wifi-mints\/\">Strain Hotspot: WiFi Mints<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/strain-hotspot-wifi-mints\/\" target=\"_blank\">Strain Hotspot: WiFi Mints<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It starts as a tale of great genetics, as most strain stories do.
