The Tiger King
Also known as: Tiger King
The Tiger King Strain Overview
The Tiger King is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity around the time of the Netflix documentary series of the same name. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it appears to be a carefully crafted hybrid developed by crossing notable parent strains to create a balanced yet potent experience. The strain name references the flamboyant and controversial figure Joe Exotic from the popular documentary, though the connection appears to be primarily marketing rather than reflecting specific breeding characteristics.
Visually, The Tiger King typically displays dense, resinous buds with a distinctive coloration pattern that may include deep green hues with occasional orange pistils that some users describe as resembling tiger stripes. The buds are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining elements from its genetic lineage to create a memorable sensory experience. Growers note that it tends to produce medium to large yields under optimal conditions, with flowering times typical for modern hybrids.
As a hybrid strain, The Tiger King offers effects that balance cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on individual tolerance and consumption amount. Its popularity stems from this versatility combined with its distinctive flavor profile. While not as historically significant as some classic strains, The Tiger King represents the continuing innovation in cannabis breeding where new varieties are developed to meet evolving consumer preferences for specific effect profiles and flavor combinations.

The Tiger King Strain Growing Information
The Tiger King is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, potentially taller outdoors) and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain requires good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and benefits from proper nutrient management during flowering.
