This gem of Barney's Farm is the result of a master cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sour Pinot Auto, designed for growers looking for “dispensary” in automatic format. Thin Mint Auto provides the density and menthol chocolate aroma typical of the Cookies lineage, while Sour Pinot Auto injects acidic wine and grape notes and a more resistant structure. With 60% Sativa y 26% THC, is a variety that breaks the myth that autos are less powerful, offering a very complete hybrid effect: it starts with a energetic and social brain boost to end in one pleasant physical calm that does not reach couch-lock. Its terpene profile is a gourmet delight: ripe berries and grapes, diesel, fresh mint and earthy and herbal notes that merge into a unique sensory experience.

Plant morphology. Thin Mint x Sour Pinot Auto develops an intense and lush green structure, with buds densely covered with frosty trichomes that accumulate even on the leaves surrounding the flowers. Reach between 90-120 cm indoors and up to 140 cm outdoors. In somewhat cooler night temperature conditions, the buds can develop purple and bluish tones which significantly increase the visual appeal of the plant. Resilient and adaptable, it responds well to low-stress training during the first weeks.

Appearance of the flower. Thin Mint x Sour Pinot Auto buds are dense and very visually attractive, with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a shiny and crystalline appearance. Its color varies from intense green to purple depending on temperature conditions, being especially striking when grown in cool climates at the end of flowering. The aroma when ripe is complex and refined: Ripe berries and sweet grape in the foreground, followed by fresh mint, diesel and notes of spice and earth that make every puff a memorable experience.

Cultivation tips

• What is the ideal climate to grow Thin Mint x Sour Pinot Auto ? It develops especially well in warm and sunny climates, although it tolerates temperature changes well.
