Top Gun
Also known as: Top Gun OG, Top Gun Auto
Overview
Top Gun is an indica-dominant Atlas Seeds classic strain. Atlas Star crossed with Cotton Candy creates a couchlock candyland of sugary sweet terps laced with earthy, nutty goodness. Top Gun emerged during the 2010s as legal markets expanded and breeders began reviving candy-forward profiles in hybrid lines. Top Gun is the product of a meticulous genetic process that combines Atlas Star and Cotton Candy, with additional influences from ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. The strain's lineage was carefully curated to capture the best qualities of each component, leading to the celebrated hybrid that it is today. Its hybrid genetics demonstrate the perfect balance between the uplifting effects of sativa and the relaxing undertones of indica, with the ruderalis infusion introducing auto-flowering traits that many modern cultivators appreciate.
This positions Top Gun as a crowd-pleaser for consumers who prioritize taste without sacrificing potency. Nonetheless, the strain's sensory throughline remains remarkably stable: spun-sugar sweetness layered with berry, soft florals, and a peppered finish. Its bud structure tends to be medium-dense with a thick frost, reinforcing its reputation as a trichome-forward dessert hybrid. In retail menus and user forums, Top Gun is most commonly described as a sativa-leaning hybrid with dense, resinous flowers and a pungent, high-octane nose. The name Top Gun naturally signals speed, altitude, and performance, and the strain's reported effects often align with that branding. Most accounts emphasize a quick takeoff of uplift and focus before settling into a smooth, balanced cruise.
