High Tide
Also known as: High Tide OG
What is the High Tide strain?
High Tide is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
High Tide is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two West Coast classics: OG Kush and Blue Dream, creating a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. Breeders aimed to create a versatile hybrid that would appeal to both recreational and medicinal users, resulting in a strain that has gained moderate popularity in legal markets across the United States.
The strain's name references both its coastal California origins and its cerebral effects, which users describe as coming in waves. High Tide plants typically display dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a silvery appearance. The nugs often feature deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The strain's structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
High Tide is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines elements from both parent strains. The terpene expression typically leans toward the OG Kush lineage with earthy, diesel undertones, while maintaining some of the sweet berry notes characteristic of Blue Dream. This strain has remained somewhat niche compared to its more famous parents but has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

High Tide is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures.
