Tiger Style
Also known as: Tiger Style OG
Tiger Style Strain Overview
Tiger Style is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with different sources attributing its creation to various breeders in California and Oregon. What is generally agreed upon is that Tiger Style represents a carefully selected cross between two prominent West Coast genetics, combining the potent effects of OG Kush with the unique characteristics of another indica-dominant strain, though the specific second parent varies by account (commonly cited as either Bubba Kush or a similar Kush variety). The name "Tiger Style" is believed to reference both the strain's striking visual appearance and its powerful, assertive effects.
Visually, Tiger Style buds are typically dense and compact with a classic indica structure, though they can exhibit some sativa-like stretching during flowering. The flowers are known for their vibrant coloration—deep forest green nugs are often streaked with fiery orange pistils that resemble tiger stripes, hence the name. A thick coating of frosty trichomes covers the surface, giving the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex and pungent, blending earthy Kush notes with hints of pine, citrus, and diesel, often with a subtle spicy or peppery undertone.
Tiger Style is recognized among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced yet potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before settling into full-body relaxation. The strain has gained a cult following in certain medical and recreational cannabis communities, particularly on the West Coast, though it remains less widely available than many mainstream hybrids. Its rarity contributes to its mystique, and it is often sought after by connoisseurs interested in classic Kush genetics with a unique twist. Growers value Tiger Style for its robust growth characteristics and resin production, though it is not considered a beginner-friendly strain due to its specific needs and moderate difficulty level.

Tiger Style Strain Growing Information
Tiger Style is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Yields are moderate to high when grown properly, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants prefer a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Tiger Style plants tend to stay relatively medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, potentially taller outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and airflow. The strain is somewhat sensitive to nutrient levels and requires careful monitoring to avoid nutrient burn. It also benefits from proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds.
