Tussin
Also known as: Tussin OG, Tussin Cough
Tussin Strain Overview
Tussin is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly associated with the San Francisco Bay Area. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with different sources providing conflicting information about its genetic lineage. What is generally agreed upon is that Tussin represents a carefully selected phenotype from a broader genetic family, likely involving OG Kush genetics crossed with other West Coast varieties. The name 'Tussin' is believed to reference the strain's distinctive effects and flavor profile, which some users compare to cough medicine, though this is a subjective association rather than a literal description.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Tussin's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones and a distinctive chemical or medicinal quality that some describe as reminiscent of certain cough syrups. This unique terpene profile contributes to both its name and its reputation among cannabis connoisseurs.
Tussin has maintained a somewhat underground status despite its potency and distinctive characteristics. It has not achieved the widespread commercial distribution of more mainstream strains, which has contributed to its reputation as a 'cult favorite' among experienced cannabis users. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Due to its relative rarity, reliable information about Tussin can be inconsistent, and some of the details circulating in cannabis communities may be based on anecdotal reports rather than verified data.

Tussin Strain Growing Information
Tussin is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant structure featuring dense branching. Yield is average to above average with proper care. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
