Tiger's Blood
Tiger's Blood
Also known as: Tiger's Blood OG, Tiger Blood Kush, Tiger Blood
Overview
Tiger's Blood is a rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that serves as a potent phenotype of the legendary OG Kush. Originally bred by Virgin Seeds, this strain has gained recognition for its powerful sedating effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's genetics trace back to OG Kush lineage, inheriting its robust framework and therapeutic properties. Some sources indicate alternative genetics involving crosses with Tiger Paw, Cherry Pie, or Tres Dawg, though the OG Kush phenotype origin is most commonly cited. Tiger's Blood is characterized by dense, resinous buds with deep green and purple hues, accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of amber trichomes that give the buds a crystalline appearance. The strain features a complex aromatic profile combining spicy and earthy base notes with herbal undertones, complemented by sweet elements including strawberry, watermelon, and subtle citrus hints. This combination creates a distinctive fragrance that reflects its sophisticated terpene composition. Known for its immediate onset of sedating effects, Tiger's Blood delivers a powerful experience that begins with euphoric cerebral stimulation before transitioning into profound full-body relaxation and couch-lock.

Growing Information
Tiger's Blood is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring consistent care and attention. The plant exhibits low to medium height characteristics with a robust structure capable of supporting heavy, dense buds. Flowering time ranges from 53-70 days indoors (approximately 8-10 weeks), with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields can reach 14-18 ounces per square meter (approximately 450g/m²), while outdoor cultivation may produce 16-20 ounces per plant (around 510g/plant). The strain thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature (75-80°F day, 65-70°F night), humidity (55-60% vegetative, 40-45% flowering), and lighting can be precisely managed. It also performs well outdoors in warm, dry climates similar to California conditions. Cultivation benefits from training techniques like topping, fimming, and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light exposure.
