Where Triangle Mints Comes From
Both Leafly and AllBud list Triangle Mints as a cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, with Leafly crediting Seed Junky Genetics. AllBud says it is also known as Octagon Kush. Leafly describes GSC and OG Kush influences, which fit the parentage, and lists Wedding Cake and Trophy Wife as offspring.
That last point is worth a caution: Leafly’s page also carries the alias Wedding Cake, so it appears to blur two entries. Treat offspring claims loosely.
Triangle Mints Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly reviewers report uplifted, focused and tingly effects, and rate the overall experience as mostly energizing. Many add relaxed, euphoric, happy and creative. AllBud also lists euphoria, focus and uplift, with some relaxation.
At around 27% to 28% THC this is not a beginner strain. The old post on our site noted that too much can leave you slumped on the couch, which fits reviewer reports of dizziness at higher doses. A small amount in the daytime is the sensible approach.
Triangle Mints Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Leafly lists mint, ammonia and menthol as top flavors, with herbal, spice and earthy notes and diesel undertones. AllBud lists herbal, menthol and sweet flavors with dank, earthy and fuel aromas. One Leafly reviewer noted a fertilizer-like taste.
Leafly reports caryophyllene first, then limonene and myrcene: pepper, citrus and herbal tones.
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
