Purple Tuna
Also known as: Purple Tuna Kush
Purple Tuna Strain Overview
Purple Tuna is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the iconic Purple Diesel X Tuna Kush strains. There is some conflicting lineage information, with some sources suggesting crosses involving Purple Kush, Lamb's Bread, or other genetics, but the Purple Diesel x Tuna Kush parentage appears most widely documented. Named for its amazing parentage and heavy stench, Purple Tuna is the perfect tasty hybrid to help you kick back and relax after a long or stressful day. This strain originates from British Columbia, Canada, where it has gained recognition as a potent and distinctive variety among cannabis connoisseurs.
The strain is characterized by dense and conical emerald-green nugs with dark purple leaves, thin red-orange hairs and tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Despite its hybrid classification, Purple Tuna exhibits strong indica-leaning effects, delivering deep physical relaxation that can lead to couch-lock. The smell of Purple Tuna will fill any room, with a blend of super dank, fishy herbs accented by skunky kush and spicy earthiness, while the flavor is very similar with a sweeter twist, adding in layers of fruity berries and grape wine to the whole mix. The strain is particularly noted for its extremely pungent aroma that some describe as fishy or oceanic, inherited from its Tuna Kush parent genetics.
