Nectarine
Also known as: Nectarine Kush
What is the Nectarine strain?
Nectarine is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Nectarine is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Peach Ringz with the sativa-dominant Tangie. The strain first gained attention in the early 2010s through West Coast breeders who sought to create a cultivar with pronounced fruity aromas and well-rounded effects. Its name derives from its distinctive sweet, stone fruit scent that closely resembles fresh nectarines, making it particularly notable among fruit-flavored cannabis varieties.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure and vibrant coloration. The flowers typically display deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and bright orange pistils. The leaves are often curled and twisted, giving the buds a somewhat irregular appearance. Nectarine is known for its resinous texture and sticky feel when handled, which contributes to its popularity among concentrate producers.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that delivers both sweet and tangy notes, creating a multi-layered sensory experience. The strain has gained a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream hybrids, Nectarine maintains a dedicated following in cannabis communities that value unique aromatic expressions and versatile effects suitable for various times of day.

How do you grow Nectarine?
Nectarine is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Nectarine responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites, particularly during the flowering phase.
