Natural Disaster
Also known as: Natty D, Disaster Kush
Natural Disaster Strain Overview
Natural Disaster is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to be a carefully selected phenotype from a complex breeding project involving several classic strains. The name 'Natural Disaster' reflects both its powerful effects and the chaotic appearance of its dense, trichome-covered buds that resemble frost-covered vegetation after an ice storm.
The strain is characterized by its visually striking appearance, featuring dark olive-green buds with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced with temperature fluctuations during cultivation. The flowers are exceptionally resinous, with a thick coating of milky-white trichomes that give the buds a frosted, almost crystalline appearance. Natural Disaster typically produces medium to large-sized, tightly packed buds with orange pistils that contrast sharply against the dark foliage.
Natural Disaster has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers for its balanced yet potent effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain is known for its resilience during cultivation and consistent performance across different growing environments. While not as widely distributed as some commercial hybrids, Natural Disaster has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where it originated.

Natural Disaster Strain Growing Information
Natural Disaster is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Natural Disaster plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation around the dense buds and monitoring for pests, as the thick resin production can attract certain insects. The strain is somewhat sensitive to nutrient levels, particularly nitrogen, during flowering.
