Mike Tyson

This flower takes its name from the boxer Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, according to Leafly, whose strain page goes by the shorter title Tyson.

Tyson, Mike Tyson OG or just Mike

Leafly lists Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson OG and Mike as other names for the strain, and AllBud‘s page, also titled Tyson, gives Mike Tyson as an alternative. Leafly classes it as an indica, and AllBud describes a 100% pure indica said to descend from OG Kush. Our guide to what the type labels really mean covers indica, sativa and hybrid in more depth.

Lime-green buds with a golden frost

AllBud describes large, lumpy buds in bright lime green, threaded with vivid orange hairs and dusted with a fine frost of milky crystals that have a golden tint.

Skunk, diesel and notes of chocolate

According to AllBud, the aroma is a classic pungent skunk, and breaking the buds apart releases a sharp chemical-diesel note; the taste is spicy, pungent diesel with a skunky aftertaste that lingers. AllBud tags the flavour berry, diesel, spicy and sweet, with earthy and skunky among its aroma tags. Leafly’s flavour tags are diesel, chemical and pungent, and its text names myrcene as the dominant terpene. One Leafly reviewer noted a chocolate aftertaste, and an AllBud reviewer picked out dark chocolate and Turkish coffee next to the diesel.

Effects and THC as reported

Leafly’s text describes indica effects that leave the body deeply relaxed, and relaxed is the feeling its reviewers report most. AllBud describes a mild cerebral onset that leaves people uplifted, happy and euphoric before a body high creeps in, adding that the strain stays functional if needed. Leafly’s text gives THC as 20% and AllBud gives 21%. Ratings stand at 4.7 from 80 on Leafly and 4.9 from 8 votes on AllBud.
