Nuclear Chem
Also known as: Nuclear Chem OG, Nuclear Chemdog
Nuclear Chem Strain Overview
Nuclear Chem is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its powerful effects and distinctive chemical aroma. The strain was developed by crossing two legendary genetics: Chemdog and Chernobyl. This combination brings together the diesel-fueled intensity of Chemdog with the sweet, citrusy notes of Chernobyl, resulting in a strain that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The exact origins and development timeline of Nuclear Chem are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have stabilized the genetics, though it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s within the cannabis breeding community.
Visually, Nuclear Chem plants typically produce dense, resin-coated buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a crystalline appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's name reflects both its genetic lineage and its powerful, long-lasting effects that users describe as 'explosive' or 'nuclear' in intensity. Nuclear Chem has become particularly popular among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate high-THC varieties with complex flavor profiles.
Notable features of Nuclear Chem include its distinctive aroma profile that combines fuel-like notes with sweet citrus undertones, creating a complex sensory experience. The strain's effects are typically described as coming on strong and lasting for an extended period, making it suitable for evening or nighttime use for most consumers. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Nuclear Chem has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis markets and among connoisseurs who seek out its unique combination of genetics and effects.

Nuclear Chem Strain Growing Information
Nuclear Chem is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. Nuclear Chem prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors, with a bushy structure that may require some training and pruning to optimize light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions, as the strain can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and humidity changes. The plants produce a strong odor during flowering that requires adequate ventilation and odor control measures.
