Black Tuna OG Kush
Also known as: Black Tuna OG, Black Tuna Kush
Black Tuna OG Kush Strain Overview
Black Tuna OG Kush is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from the crossbreeding of the legendary Tuna Kush with OG Kush genetics. The strain's origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources tracing it to Canadian breeders who sought to combine the heavy sedative properties of Tuna Kush with the distinctive piney, earthy aroma and balanced effects of OG Kush. The name 'Black Tuna' reportedly refers to the strain's dark, dense buds and its lineage from the Tuna Kush family, which itself was named for its pungent, fish-like aroma when properly cured.
Visually, Black Tuna OG Kush is characterized by its dark forest green buds that often display deep purple and almost black hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The strain's aroma is complex and pungent, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle undertones of citrus and spice. When consumed, the flavor profile tends to mirror the aroma, with a smooth smoke that delivers earthy, piney flavors with hints of lemon and pepper on the exhale.
Black Tuna OG Kush is known for its powerful, long-lasting effects that begin with a cerebral euphoria before transitioning into a deeply relaxing body high. The strain has gained popularity among experienced users seeking relief from various conditions, though it may be overwhelming for novice consumers due to its high THC content. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Black Tuna OG Kush has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in Canada and select medical markets in the United States.

Black Tuna OG Kush Strain Growing Information
Black Tuna OG Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like climate outdoors. Plants tend to stay relatively short to medium in height, making them suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme cold to encourage purple coloration) and ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
