Tiger Indica was a formulation that an individual was developing from late 70's to early 80's in Minnesota. The idea was an attempt to get a strain that would produce in our local growing season. This was just before the time when folks started looking more seriously at Ruderealis. There was 3 5-quart ice cream pails of seeds and a group representative from here that Nevil Schoenmakers invited on a 30 day Eurail pass with instructions to "stop by when you get to Amsterdam". Seeds were transferred through the mail at that time as bird seed. They were offered as a strain from The Seed Bin, I believe, in 1986 or 85. Don't recall for sure. I know that the historical catalog is posted somewhere on the net. I kinda smiled to myself when I saw the ad. Just previous to this one of the teenage Dauphins of the master grower was busted with a couple buds that the police had tested at 27% THC. It made the 2 major news papers here, as no one had seen anything like it, and the "reefer madness" ensued from the civilians until the panic died down. I don't know what happened to the strain after that. I do know that the next season the "kush" families out of Canada started showing greater THC contents than previously offered. I'm not discounting the work that everyone has done in their breeding efforts. I do think that the grower from MN should get a little credit for his labor in this endeavor. The only reason I know this stuff is because at 19 I worked for the guy as Sherpa hauling water, collecting from the gorilla grows, and trimming bud till the cows came home. After 40 years I still have issues with my thumb from the scissors. I've lost contact with this individual over the years, but wouldn't trade the experience and knowledge that I had gained for anything.
