differences between thinmint cut and forum cut?
In my experience, the thin mint cut is a lot more like a glorified cut of OG. The nugs are mostly green, however it's a shade of green that's a little bit on the yellow side of the spectrum. There's usually a small amount of blue/purple on the sugar leaves, but other than that, there's hardly any secondary color at all, even with low temps. The nugs have a
very prominent OG smell, but there's also a very noticeable mint smell, which to me, smells more like a York peppermint than the green mint that's in the
actual thin mint GS cookies. But when you grind or break up the nugs, a lot of the OG smell fades, and for whatever reason, the white peppermint smell kinda changes into the green thin mint smell that GSC gets its name from. When ground, the smell is a real good balance between OG fuel and green thin mint. In all honesty, for me at least, the body high is lacking in comparison to the forum cut. The forum cut is very unique in many ways, but it's a lot more consistent with most of the other cuts than the thin mint cut is. Everybody knows what the forum cut looks like, just do a google search. The nugs are a beautiful blue/purple color, with lime green undertones and bright orange hairs. When the grower lets it go for a longer amount of time, a beautiful amber sheen may develop. The nugs have a very unique and almost indescribable smell. Compared to the thin mint, the forum cut only has a small hint of OG smell. It's mostly a very sweet, almost cookie like smell, with a little bit of cardboard or something thrown in the mix, topped off with a strong thin mint fragrance. It's a smell that's different from anything that I've ever experienced before. The taste is very on par with the smell, almost exact in my experience, except for the fact that the OG comes through a little bit more so in the taste department. The high is very well balanced and hits fucking hard on all levels. Although they both produce
extremely dense rock hard nugs, the yield and cola/nug size for the thin mint cut is going to be far larger and more plentiful than the forum cut. Overall I think that these are both great phenos, but for me, the forum cut just has so many interesting and unique aspects of it, along with a well balanced knockout high, which in my book makes it the danker, more satisfying choice..... but that's just my opinion though.
