Tommy Gun
Also known as: Tommy Gun OG
What is the Tommy Gun strain?
Tommy Gun is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Tommy Gun is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain's name references the Thompson submachine gun, colloquially known as the 'Tommy Gun,' likely alluding to its powerful, fast-acting impact. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, it is generally accepted to be a phenotype or closely related variant of the OG Kush family, sharing many characteristics with classic OG strains. The strain emerged in the early 2010s within the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California, and has since developed a following among users seeking strong relaxation effects.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are forest green in color, often interspersed with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky white trichomes. The buds are usually compact and chunky, with a structure common to many indica varieties. A notable feature is its pungent aroma, which combines earthy, diesel, and pine notes with subtle undertones of citrus, creating a complex olfactory profile that is both sharp and inviting. The flavor upon consumption generally mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth yet potent smoke or vapor that leaves a lingering earthy-pine aftertaste.
Tommy Gun is primarily cultivated for its high THC content and deeply relaxing physical effects, which are characteristic of its indica heritage. It is considered a reliable strain for evening or nighttime use due to its sedative qualities. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream OG varieties, it maintains a presence in certain medicinal and recreational markets, particularly among connoisseurs who appreciate classic, Kush-derived genetics. Its cultivation requires some experience, as it can be sensitive to environmental stressors, but it rewards growers with solid yields of high-quality flower.

How do you grow Tommy Gun?
Tommy Gun is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant tends to stay relatively short to medium in height, often between 3 to 5 feet tall, making it suitable for indoor grows with limited vertical space. It prefers a stable, warm, and dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers often achieving around 14 to 18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The plant responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure and bud production. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control.
