Green Shark
Also known as: Shark, Green Shark OG
Green Shark Strain Overview
Green Shark is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2000s, possibly as a phenotype selection from the broader Shark family of strains. Some sources suggest it may be related to the Great White Shark strain, though this connection is not definitively established. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in certain markets, particularly in Europe and North America, though it is not among the most widely distributed commercial varieties.
Visually, Green Shark typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to amber pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's name likely references both its coloration and the potent, sometimes overwhelming effects that users report.
Green Shark is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, herbal notes with sharper, more pungent undertones. The flavor experience often begins with earthy, woody notes that transition to more herbal, sometimes spicy characteristics on the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as initially cerebral and uplifting before settling into a more physically relaxing state, making it popular among users seeking balanced hybrid effects.

Green Shark Strain Growing Information
Green Shark is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. 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 generally moderate to high, with approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to remain at a manageable height of 1-1.5 meters indoors but can reach 2 meters or more outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation and monitoring humidity levels during flowering, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in humid conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
