Tar Pit Strain Overview
Tar Pit is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the classic LA Confidential with the legendary Chemdawg. The strain was developed by DNA Genetics, a respected breeder known for creating stable, high-quality genetics. Tar Pit inherits the best characteristics from both parent strains, combining LA Confidential's relaxing body effects with Chemdawg's cerebral intensity and distinctive fuel-like aroma.
The strain's name reflects its appearance and effects - the buds are typically dark green with purple hues and covered in a thick layer of resinous trichomes that give them a sticky, tar-like texture. The dense, chunky nugs are often accented with vibrant orange pistils. Tar Pit is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, fuel-like notes with hints of pine and citrus, creating a pungent scent that lingers in the air.
Tar Pit has gained popularity among indica enthusiasts for its powerful, long-lasting effects that are both physically sedating and mentally uplifting. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to induce deep relaxation while maintaining some cerebral clarity, making it suitable for evening use. Its high THC content and balanced terpene profile contribute to its reputation as a reliable strain for those seeking strong indica effects without complete mental incapacitation.

Tar Pit Strain Growing Information
Tar Pit is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for experienced growers. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of dense, resinous buds. The plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them suitable for both growing environments. Tar Pit prefers a warm, dry climate with good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Proper curing is essential to bring out the strain's complex flavor profile.
