Biscotti Mintz by Barney's Farm

Biscotti Mintz is a connoisseur cross that pairs two sought-after American cuts. Barney’s Farm took Biscotti, an 80% Indica plant with Cookies and OG Kush heritage, and crossed it with its exclusive Mintz phenotype. The result is an 80% Indica / 20% Sativa feminized strain testing at around 30% THC.

From Biscotti comes the potency and the cookie-dough backbone; from Mintz comes a creamy, smooth mint layer. Together they create a profile that tastes like chocolate chip cookies with cool cream and a touch of spice.

Indoors, plants stay compact at 80–110 cm (31–43 in) and finish in 56–63 days of flowering, yielding 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²). Outdoors, they reach 120–200 cm (47–79 in) and can produce up to 1500 g/plant (52.9 oz/plant), ready in the first or second week of October.

It is also a showpiece in the garden. Biscotti Mintz is a predominantly deep purple plant with trichome production that goes off the scale, and late in bloom the leaves turn shades of purple, orange and green.

Biscotti Mintz Lineage

Biscotti built its reputation on a Cookies-family variant crossed with OG Kush, giving heavy resin, dense structure and a sweet, nutty dough flavor. Barney’s Farm then selected a Mintz phenotype from its own collection for its creamy, smooth character, and combined the two in the lab.

The Indica side dominates the build. Expect short, sturdy plants with thick stems, broad leaves and tight internodes. The buds are boulder-shaped and dark green with bold purple highlights and long orange pistils, all buried under a heavy layer of trichomes.

The 20% Sativa share adds a creative, focused edge to the effect and keeps the high from turning purely sedating, a nice twist for such an Indica-heavy cross.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

Barney’s Farm lists the aroma as creamy, kush and earthy. In the jar, the scent is rich and dessert-like, with the classic Kush earthiness underneath. The breeder names limonene, caryophyllene and eucalyptol as standout terpenes, which explains the mix of zest, spice and cool freshness.

The flavor brings Kush, cookies and creamy mint together. Picture a warm chocolate chip cookie dunked in mint cream, with a peppery spice lingering on the finish. The taste stays on the palate long after the exhale.

The effect is described as creative, relaxing and body high. Barney’s Farm adds that it is focused at first, followed by a creeping, energizing body sensation that builds slowly. The mind stays clear and productive while the body loosens up.

At 30% THC, this is among the strongest strains in the breeder’s range, so experienced consumers will get the most out of it.

Growing Biscotti Mintz Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, switch to 12/12 once plants have filled about half of the final space. Biscotti Mintz finishes in 56–63 days of flowering and stays at 80–110 cm (31–43 in), which suits small and medium tents. Topping once or twice in veg, followed by a SCROG net, creates an even canopy of colas and helps push yields toward 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²).

The dense, resin-heavy buds need steady airflow and moderate humidity in the final weeks. Slightly cooler night temperatures late in bloom can bring out the purple, orange and green colors the breeder describes.

Outdoors, the plant grows to 120–200 cm (47–79 in) and can deliver up to 1500 g/plant (52.9 oz/plant) in a sunny, warm spot with rich soil. Harvest arrives in the first or second week of October, so it fits most temperate US climates where autumn stays dry.
