Hindu Mints by Grow West A Floral Powerhouse with Old School Indica Roots

Strain of the Week: Hindu Mints 🌿

Looking to unwind and sink into a full-body calm after a long day? Hindu Mints by Grow West might be just what your stash box is missing. This limited-release indica offers classic relaxation with a floral-forward twist—pairing old-world genetics with modern terpene richness for a deeply calming experience.

At Haven, we’re excited to bring this powerful strain back to the shelves. Hindu Mints isn’t just another heavy indica—it’s a deeply aromatic, terp-heavy flower that makes an impression from first whiff to final exhale.

Let’s break down what makes Hindu Mints so unique—and why it’s earned a permanent spot in our nighttime rotation.

Lineage: Kush Mints x Andarab Afghani

Hindu Mints brings together two legendary parent strains for a result that’s rich, heavy, and full of depth.

Kush Mints, known for its potent body effects and minty sweetness, delivers a creamy smoke and calming sensation from head to toe.
Andarab Afghani, a landrace-style indica, adds an earthy, grounding layer of relaxation with a nod to traditional cannabis roots.

Together, they form Hindu Mints—a cultivar that leans hard into the indica spectrum with effects designed for deep relaxation, pain relief, and mental quietude.

This is flower built for unwinding—not for errand-running.


Aroma and Flavor: Earthy, Floral, and Wonderfully Complex

The moment you crack the seal on a fresh eighth of Hindu Mints, you’re hit with a heavy floral aroma that fills the air. It’s not subtle—this batch is loud in the best way. Expect a dominant sandalwood and floral nose, backed by earthy notes and a light sweetness that lingers.

On the Nose:

  • Bold floral overtones

  • Hints of earthy sandalwood

  • Soft sweetness with a touch of spice

On the Exhale:

  • Herbal and woody

  • Slight lemon and pine twist

  • Smooth and fragrant, with a creamy finish

If you’re into strains with depth—think Afghani Kush, Lavender, or LA Confidential—you’ll appreciate the classic feel Hindu Mints brings with a modern terpene punch.


Bag Appeal: Sticky, Frosty, and Dense

Visually, this is some of the best flower Grow West has put out recently. The buds are chunky and dense with deep green and purple tones, accented by vibrant orange hairs and absolutely coated in crystal-like trichomes.

Break apart a nug and you’ll immediately notice the stickiness—and that heavy floral scent intensifies. This flower isn’t just pretty—it’s clearly grown with care.

What You’ll Notice:

  • Compact, resin-coated buds

  • Deep purple sugar leaves and forest-green cores

  • Fiery pistils and heavy trichome coverage

This batch comes in at 25.81% total cannabinoids, with a terpene count of 3.15%, which explains both the potent effects and rich flavor.


Effects: Calm, Comforted, and Couch-Ready

Hindu Mints is one of those strains that starts in the shoulders and works its way down. The high creeps in with a soothing warmth, easing tension in your neck and back before fully settling into your limbs.

What I Felt:

  • A calming fog settled over my mind, quieting background noise and racing thoughts

  • My muscles relaxed and felt loose but heavy—in a good way

  • That “pause” button effect kicked in, locking me into the couch as time slowed down

After just a few hits, I felt fully at ease—both mentally and physically. This strain isn’t meant for high-energy tasks or productivity. Instead, it’s perfect for:

  • Ending a long day

  • Watching a movie or listening to music

  • Easing into sleep

  • Meditating or zoning out

If you deal with anxiety, chronic pain, or insomnia, Hindu Mints could become a go-to.


Personal Experience: A Nighttime Essential

I first smoked Hindu Mints after wrapping up a 12-hour shoot and editing session. I was fried—mentally and physically—and needed something to help my body decompress. I packed a bowl, sparked it up, and within two hits, I felt a noticeable shift. 

The floral aroma filled the room, and the first few pulls were incredibly smooth and flavorful. As I exhaled, I could feel the tension unraveling from my back. My legs got heavy, my mind slowed down, and I found myself locked into the moment.

Within 30 minutes, I was completely still—just vibing, eyes half-closed, the day’s stress totally gone. I didn’t knock out immediately, but I felt rested before even hitting the bed. That’s what makes Hindu Mints so powerful—it helps you disconnect without being disorienting.


Effects Summary:

Initial Onset: Full-body calm with mental fog
Mid-High: Sedation creeps in gently, relaxing muscles and easing pain
Come Down: Soft transition into sleep or quiet, still relaxation

Perfect for:

  • Nighttime use

  • Recovery days

  • Soothing anxiety or stress

  • Breaking a mental overdrive cycle


Medicinal Potential

While Hindu Mints is loved by recreational users for its powerful chill, it’s also an excellent medicinal option for people managing:

  • Anxiety: The calming, fog-like mental state helps ease tension and overthinking

  • Chronic Pain: Especially helpful for muscle aches and joint pain

  • Insomnia: Great for those who struggle to quiet their mind before bed

  • Appetite Loss: Mild munchies are common, making it useful before meals

  • Stress and Burnout: Replaces the mental “buzz” with grounded stillness

With a cannabinoid profile over 25% and a strong terpene presence, Hindu Mints offers full-spectrum relief that doesn’t feel one-note.

As always, individual results may vary—start low and slow if you’re new to indicas or sensitive to THC.
