indica-dominant strainAnimal Mints Cross
Animal Mints Cross combines Animal Mints with Face Off OG. Minty sweetness meets diesel, earth, pine and peppery spice. THC levels can reach approximately 30 percent. The indica-dominant cross often begins euphoric and head-focused, but subsequently becomes noticeably calmer, more physical and heavier than Animal Mints alone.

Editorial profile
Animal Mints Cross in detail
Origin & classification
Animal Mints Cross is a cross of Animal Mints and Face Off OG. The strain brings together the cool, sweet Mints and Cookies side with a powerful OG line. Face Off OG contributes diesel, earth and pine, while Animal Mints provides mint, pastry and a softer sweetness.
Aroma & flavour
Minty sweetness takes centre stage in the aroma. Beneath it are diesel, earth, resinous pine and peppery spice. Myrcene contributes earthy depth, limonene adds some freshness, pinene brings the forest note and caryophyllene provides the dry, spicy finish. The profile feels cooler than a classic OG, but noticeably gassier than Animal Mints alone.
Terpene profile
THC levels can reach approximately 30 percent depending on the selection. Actual potency depends on phenotype, maturity and batch. The effect tendency often begins euphoric, mood-enhancing and head-focused. The physical side then becomes stronger, leading to greater calm, relaxation and heaviness.
Effect tendency
In growth, Animal Mints Cross can develop strong side branches and medium stretch. Face Off OG provides structure, while Animal Mints contributes dense, heavily frosted flowers. An evenly opened canopy improves light distribution. Due to the compact flowers, good air movement is important through the end of maturation.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
Compared with Animal Mints, the cross comes across as drier, earthier and more diesel-forward. Compared with Face Off OG, it brings more mint, sweetness and a creamier surface. Both parents are clearly recognisable in the aroma, creating a distinct contrast between coolness and gas.
Further classification
Animal Mints Cross has strong genetic overlap with Animal Face, which also originated from Animal Mints and Face Off OG. Depending on the provider, the name may refer to a specific selection or a general cross name. For this reason, the shared parentage should remain visible rather than artificially constructing two completely separate families.
Further classification
The strain represents a potent OG-Mints combination with indica-dominant development. Mint, diesel, earth and pine are its key aromatic notes. The mental onset remains recognisable, but the later physical calm shapes the overall impression more strongly than in many livelier Animal hybrids.
