Master Tuna (AAA+)

Description

Master Tuna

Master Tuna (AAA+) is a heavy indica strain known for its deeply relaxing, full-body experience and classic “gas” character. Fans reach for this cultivar when they want a strong, slow-down-the-day kind of session with rich, skunky notes that hint at diesel, earth and pine. The smoke is pungent, savory and slightly spicy on the exhale. Among indica lovers, Master Tuna has a reputation as a reliable evening companion with memorable aroma, weighty body feel and satisfying potency.

Genetics and History

Master Tuna is widely believed to be a cross between the legendary Master Kush and the pungent Tuna Kush, blending old-school indica genetics with West Coast bag appeal. While its exact breeder isn’t clearly documented, it rose to prominence across Canadian craft markets for its fuel-forward nose, dense frosty buds and heavy, end-of-day effects. As more growers began dialing in this cut, Master Tuna quickly became a go-to choice for kush and gas enthusiasts seeking rich flavour and serious wind-down potential.
