Botanical and Scientific Overview:

Genetic origin: Thin Mint x Sour Pinot Auto is a new-generation feminised autoflowering hybrid developed by Barney’s Farm. It is a stabilised cross between Thin Mint and Sour Pinot Auto. This combination results in a pronounced Sativa dominance (60% Sativa / 40% Indica), ensuring a balanced effect with an emphasis on mental stimulation and mild physical relaxation.

Morphology: The plants develop a “robust structure with lush green leaves”. “Dense, heavy buds are thickly coated with a layer of resinous trichomes, creating a ‘frosty’ effect”. “As night-time temperatures drop during the final stages of flowering, the plants may take on striking purple and blue hues”, which indicates the presence of anthocyanins and enhances the variety’s ornamental appeal.

Photo/Autoflowering: This is an autoflowering strain that automatically enters the flowering phase regardless of light conditions. This makes it ideal for beginners and for producing multiple harvests during a single warm season. The full life cycle is “70–75 days from seed to harvest”.

Cannabinoid profile: It is characterised by a very high THC content – up to 26 per cent – which places it in the ultra-potent category. Its sativa-dominant nature (60 per cent) delivers an effect that begins with a mental lift and creative stimulation, gradually transitioning into gentle physical relaxation.

Terpene profile: The strain has a “complex and pungent bouquet”, where “a blend of sweet baked goods, fresh mint, wild berries, earthy notes and a light herbal undertone’ is complemented by ‘distinct notes of ripe grapes and sweet berries’, as well as ‘a dense, sharp diesel base (gas) and a refreshing minty aftertaste’. This indicates a rich content of terpenes, such as myrcene (earthy, berry), limonene (sweet, berry), caryophyllene (spicy, diesel), pinene (pine) and, possibly, menthol or pulegone (minty).
