sativa-dominant strain

Black Tuna

Black Tuna, also known as Tuna Black, combines a strong earthy and musky aroma with woody, sweet and spicy accents. Despite its sativa-dominant classification, the effects are predominantly described as euphoric, deeply relaxing, calming and sleepy. Myrcene and caryophyllene are recorded as terpenes.

Editorial profile

Black Tuna in detail

Origin & classification

Black Tuna is also listed in the dataset under the name Tuna Black. Herijuana and Lamb’s Bread are given as the parents, a genetic combination that is consistent in the German and English descriptions. The category is sativa-dominant, while the reported effects are notably heavy and physical. This contrast is part of the documented profile and should not be smoothed over by using a different category designation.

Aroma & flavour

The aroma is primarily described as strong, earthy and distinctive. Woody and sweet notes complement the dark base. Musky and spicy impressions are also present, associated with the recorded terpenes myrcene and caryophyllene. The English short text also mentions a distinctly damp, fuel-forward earthiness. As “gassy” or “fuel” is absent from the structured aroma list, this facet remains marked as a source-based addition rather than a confirmed primary characteristic.

Terpene profile

Myrcene and beta-caryophyllene make up the entire terpene spectrum named in the dataset. The source description associates myrcene with the musky, relaxing side of the aroma and caryophyllene with spicy depth. Exact dominance or concentration is not documented. The intensity of earth, wood, sweetness or spice may therefore depend on phenotype, batch, harvest and storage.

Effect tendency

Euphoria and a balanced mood are mentioned alongside deep physical calm. Relaxation, calmness and sleepiness are clearly at the forefront. The German description also uses medical and narcotic wording that is not suitable for a public strain text. What remains reliably supported is that experience reports describe Black Tuna as strongly calming and physically heavy. This implies neither therapeutic suitability nor a guaranteed effect.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The THC figures are particularly contradictory. The master data lists a maximum value of 16 percent. The German description typically gives 15 to 18 percent, while the English text states 19 to 23 percent. CBD is given once as less than 0.1 percent and in the master data as no more than 0.1 percent. Due to the wide THC range, no reliable general figure can be published; specific laboratory values should always refer to a particular batch.

Further classification

The dataset contains no reliable information on breeder, flowering time, yield or growth pattern. The editorial portrait therefore draws on the consistent Herijuana and Lamb’s Bread lineage, the earthy-woody, musky-spicy aroma and the repeatedly described combination of euphoria with heavy relaxation. The unusual tension between the sativa-dominant classification and the calm effect profile remains transparently presented.
