Nexus
Also known as: Nexus OG
What is the Nexus strain?
Nexus is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Nexus is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a well-rounded hybrid with consistent effects and robust genetics. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, Nexus has gained recognition for its reliable performance and pleasant user experience. The strain represents a careful blending of indica and sativa genetics, resulting in a plant that offers both physical relaxation and mental stimulation.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the structure. The buds are generally quite resinous, making them suitable for extraction purposes. Nexus plants tend to have a moderate branching structure with broad leaves that display the classic cannabis shape.
Notable features of Nexus include its consistent effects profile and adaptable growth characteristics. The strain has developed a reputation among users for providing a balanced experience that doesn't tend toward extreme sedation or overstimulation. Its genetic stability has made it a favorite among both home growers and commercial cultivators seeking reliable results. While not as widely known as some mainstream commercial strains, Nexus has maintained a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where it was originally developed and popularized.

How do you grow Nexus?
Nexus is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but tends to perform best in controlled indoor settings where environmental factors can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-6 feet when grown outdoors, while indoor plants can be kept more compact through training techniques. Nexus prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors.
Special growing considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) methods to maximize light exposure and yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants develop their dense bud structure. Regular pruning of lower growth is recommended to direct energy toward the main colas.
