Tropic Thunder Strain Overview
Tropic Thunder is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (80% sativa/20% indica) created through crossing Maui Wowie with another unknown hybrid strain.

The strain's appearance is characterized by fluffy, spade-shaped bright neon green buds with yellow undertones, thin orange hairs, and a coating of tiny golden amber crystal trichomes. The visual characteristics showcase heart-shaped, medium-sized buds adorned with colorful yellow, orange, and purple accents. Tropic Thunder offers a distinctive flavor profile with sweet mango and pineapple notes, complemented by woody undertones, spicy hints, and sour citrusy flavors with a touch of peppery sage. The aroma combines rich earthy sage, sweet tropical fruits, and sour citrus.
