Indica Dominant Hybrid – 90% Indica / 10% Sativa
THC: 19% – 26%
Rockstar Tuna, also known as “Tuna Rockstar” or “Tuna Star,” is a heavily indica dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the classic Tuna Kush X Rockstar strains. This bud steals its aroma from its infamous Tuna Kush parent, with a super pungent overtone that’s accented by rotting fish and a touch of spicy grapes and herbs. The flavor is on the lighter side, with an earthy skunky taste that’s accented by sweet grapes and spicy herbs. The Rockstar Tuna high is just as unique as the high, with lifted effects that will leave you totally relaxed and ravenously hungry for hours on end. The high starts with a rush of lifted effects that leave your mind soaring through totally unfocused bliss. As your mind lifts higher and higher, your body will begin to fade away into a deep sense of relaxation and ease without sedation. Thanks to these effects and its high 19-26% average THC level, Rockstar Tuna is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, appetite loss or nausea, chronic pain, cramps or muscle spasms, or inflammation. This bud has rounded minty green nugs with lots of orange hairs and a coating of frosty thick amber crystal trichomes.
Rockstar Tuna, or Tuna Kush, is a new strain that’s been making big waves. A cross between the classic Rockstar and the heavyweight Tuna Kush, Rockstar Tuna is known for its high potency and intense high. While it’s a hybrid, the high, taste, and appearance manifest its indica lineage. Hailing from British Columbia, this strain has been making its way across North America, becoming more and more popular each day. For those looking for a knockout strain, Rockstar Tuna delivers a hell of a punch.
High
For fans of great kush, the buzz provided by Rockstar Tuna is perfect. Right away, it comes floating in with dreamy, euphoric feelings that kush is known for. After a few minutes, the high continues to settle in, sinking into muscles while easing anxieties. It’s a dream-like high that’s rich and comfortable. Once the high starts to fade and the burnout creeps in, Rockstar Tuna really stands out. Unlike other heavyweight kush, the burnout is light, pleasant, and won’t leave you glued to the couch.
For medicinal purposes, Rockstar Tuna is an effective strain at managing pain, nausea, and other physical ailments. Its strong high can lower feelings of unease and discomfort, while the light burnout still leaves cognitive and motor functions in good shape.
Taste and Smell
The buds are beautiful with long leaves, a mix of pale green and dark forest shades, and covered in a fine coating of crystal. To match its attractive appearance, the fragrance of the bud is wonderful — clean, fresh, and with skunky undertones. Right away, from the visual appearance and smell, it’s clear that Rockstar Tuna has been bred with expert care and skill.
While the smoke is thick and heavy, it’s surprisingly easy to smoke and has a unique, memorable flavor. The first thing to notice is its skunky, earthy taste — letting you know it’s a kush — but is then chased with a clean, spicy aftertaste. The combination of indica and sativa genes really shines with its flavor, making this one familiar and different all at the same time.
