Tiger's Eye

Tiger's Eye is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Tiger's Eye is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. Most sources suggest it emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, though specific breeding details remain uncertain. The name likely references the gemstone tiger's eye, which displays chatoyancy—a luminous band that appears to move across the stone—possibly alluding to the strain's visual appeal or shimmering trichome coverage.

Visually, Tiger's Eye typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex coloration pattern that may include shades of deep green, purple, and orange, often with amber pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. The buds are usually heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, often described as a blend of earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle sweet undertones. Growers note that Tiger's Eye plants tend to have a moderate to high resin production, making them potentially suitable for concentrate extraction.

While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Tiger's Eye has developed a reputation among experienced users for providing a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's relative rarity means that specific characteristics can vary between different growers' phenotypes, and consistent standardized testing data is limited. As with many cannabis strains, individual experiences may vary based on cultivation methods, phenotype expression, and user tolerance levels.
