Bluefin Tuna

Western Canada is where Leafly places the roots of Bluefin Tuna, the Tuna Kush and Blueberry cross behind this flower.

Bluefin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna Kush or Blue Fin Tuna

Bluefin Tuna Kush and Blue Fin Tuna are the other names Leafly gives, and AllBud uses Bluefin Tuna Kush as its main name. AllBud’s split is 60% indica and 40% sativa, from the classic Tuna Kush crossed with Blueberry, while Leafly classes it as a hybrid. What those percentages and labels mean is the subject of our guide to the indica, sativa and hybrid split.

Pepper-shaped buds in dusty green and amber

AllBud describes fluffy, pepper-shaped buds in dusty green with light amber tones, orange pistils and a frosty coat of sandy amber trichomes. One AllBud reviewer praised the bag appeal, pointing to blue leaves and a crystal coat that looks dusty, and said the tuna comes through alongside DJ Short’s Blueberry in the taste.

Sweet blueberry against diesel and rotten fish

AllBud’s tasting notes start with sweet blueberry, then bring in pungent diesel and a strong rotten-fish note, and the aroma follows suit under a heavy spicy, diesel overtone. It pitches the strain to people who want a very unusual flavour and a well-balanced high.

On Leafly the nose reads piney and fruity and the taste earthy, menthol joins blueberry and diesel among the flavour tags, and myrcene is the dominant terpene. Leafly reviewers add a fresh minty, spicy aroma, a balance of pine and lemon, and a bag that smelled of cheese when first opened.

Energetic on Leafly, dreamy on AllBud

Euphoric, energizing effects are what Leafly associates with Bluefin Tuna, and its gauge leans mostly energizing; energetic, uplifted and focused top the reports from its reviewers, one of whom got a lot of cleaning done. AllBud describes energizing yet dreamy effects: creative energy builds slowly, and the mind moves between dreamy introspection and sharp focus before a heavy body high sets in. One AllBud reviewer called it an evening strain that energized the mind and relaxed the body.

THC for the strain comes to 23% on Leafly and averages 20% on AllBud, where 31 votes give it a 4.5; Leafly’s 17 ratings come to 4.2. Health Canada‘s lower-risk advice for smokers is one or two puffs to start, using products at 10% THC or below; the effects of smoking arrive within seconds to minutes, it explains.
