Tysons
OG Kush (likely) × Chem (likely) × Kush (likely)
Tysons refers to a family of cannabis cultivars associated with Mike Tyson, including the indica-dominant Tyson OG and newer Tyson 2.0 genetics. These strains are recognized for their high potency, dense resin, and a deeply relaxing, evening-friendly experience.
Appearance
Tyson strains typically exhibit a compact, indica-like structure, characterized by dense, tightly packed buds resembling golf balls or eggs. The flowers often display deep green coloration, with occasional hints of lavender or plum appearing under cooler growing conditions. They are notable for their heavy trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is often dominated by a strong diesel-fuel pungency, layered with notes of black pepper, earthy undertones, and a subtle pine freshness. Some varieties may also present a savory, garlicky scent, similar to GMO strains. Upon grinding, sharper citrus and woody notes emerge, with a spicy and gassy inhale, and a lingering peppery, resinous exhale.
Effects
Users report that Tysons strains provide a potent, calming sensation that can lead to a couch-lock effect. Despite the heavy relaxation, some individuals also experience enhanced focus. These effects make the strain well-suited for evening use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Tyson strains are known for high THC content, frequently testing between 18% and 32%, with a common market median of 23-26%. CBD levels are typically very low, usually below 1%. The terpene profile often includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene, contributing to the strain's distinct aroma and effects. Total terpene content commonly ranges from 1.5% to 3.0%.
Origins & Lineage
Tyson OG, also known as Mike Tyson or Mike Tyson OG, is an indica-dominant cultivar with roots in the OG Kush family. Newer strains under the Tyson 2.0 brand, such as The Toad, are often described as crosses combining traits from Chem- and Kush-dominant genetics. While exact parentage can vary and is sometimes proprietary, the family is united by its OG-style structure and potent, sedative qualities.
Cultivation
These strains generally favor an indica-leaning morphology, producing dense, resinous buds. Growers can expect a manageable trim due to a medium-to-high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The plants benefit from techniques that promote a strong apical dominance, such as topping early in the vegetative stage, to encourage an even canopy and maximize yield. They are known for high THC production potential.
