Citrus Tsunami
Also known as: Citrus Tsunami OG
What is the Citrus Tsunami strain?
Citrus Tsunami is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Citrus Tsunami is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Lemon Skunk with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the energetic, citrus-forward qualities of Lemon Skunk with the relaxing, physically soothing characteristics of OG Kush. While its exact genetic lineage beyond the primary parents remains somewhat proprietary, Citrus Tsunami has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive terpene profile and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, though it often exhibits some sativa-like stretching during flowering. The flowers are characterized by vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and bright orange pistils. The name "Citrus Tsunami" accurately reflects the overwhelming citrus aroma that dominates the sensory experience, though experienced users can detect subtle undertones of earthiness and fuel characteristic of its OG heritage.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time for a hybrid and its adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in West Coast markets and medical dispensaries, though it hasn't achieved the widespread commercial distribution of some other citrus-forward hybrids. Breeders have occasionally worked with Citrus Tsunami genetics to develop new strains, capitalizing on its unique terpene combination and balanced effect profile.

How do you grow Citrus Tsunami?
Citrus Tsunami is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain flowers in approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors but can stretch taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration.
