Slush Mint Cake grow report: a colourful showstopper with top ratings from the USA

Slush Mint Cake feminised seeds grow review by ChiTownCannaChica

When it comes to well-known genetics, Dutch Passion never disappoints. One of their standout newer strains (that they hunted and bred), Slush Mint Cake, caught my attention with its promise of dessert-like terpenes, strong vigour, and heavy-hitting potency. After running it through a full cycle—2 plants via seed, I can say it exceeded my expectations on nearly every level.

Genetics and First Impressions

Slush Mint Cake is a cross of Slurmint x Ice Cream Cake, two powerhouse strains known for resin production, flavour, and potency.

From the very start, the plant showcased strong genetics with rapid germination and a uniform structure.

I have grown both genetics from seed as well. The Gelato from the Ice Cream Cake was the predominant trait in Slush Mint—from structure and terps. The frost most definitely came from the in-house Slurricane.

After running it through a full cycle—2 plants via seed, I can say it exceeded my expectations on nearly every level.

Grow room set-up

For this run, I used:

This Indica-leaning hybrid seemed adaptable to both styles of feeding—organics brought out deep terpene richness, while the salt-based boosters (mineral nutrients) added weight and density to the buds. The combination worked beautifully—I swear by it.

Vegetative stage

The plant grew with steady vigour, producing broad indica leaves and a strong main stem. Internodes were tight. I topped once and did a little defoliation. Slush Mint Cake responded well, showing no stress and quickly filling out into a bushy, symmetrical plant.

Once flipped to 11/13, Slush Mint Cake wasted no time stacking flowers. Buds formed quickly and grew into thick, frosty colas with heavy trichome coverage.

By week 6, the resin was already impressive and the aroma began shifting from fruit and floral toward sweet dessert notes with hints of mint and gas.

Growing in a cooler Chicago basement gave the leaves a deep purple colour near harvest. She stretched moderately, which made canopy management easy—perfect for tents or medium-height rooms.

…Some of the best results I’ve had with very minimal effort—big yields, loud terps, and great resin production.

Slush Mint Cake harvest info and results

By week 9 of flower, the plant was fully mature with cloudy trichomes and purple-tinted sugar leaves. Harvest was heavy, with dense, rock-hard buds that trimmed easily thanks to minimal leaf.

Yield: Above average – thick colas and great bud-to-leaf ratio and very DENSE nugs

Bag Appeal: Excellent – frosty, chunky buds with a deep purple colour. Love the kinetic sand texture on the grind—not too dry, not too greasy, and very sticky.

Flavour & Aroma: A layered profile of sweet mint, creamy vanilla, and a touch of earthy Kush. The flavour holds on the exhale, making it a real treat for flavor chasers. Heavy on the Gelato terps. Very smooth.

Effects: Potent and long-lasting. A relaxing, euphoric high that leans toward evening use without being overwhelmingly sedative.
