Nuclear Forest
Also known as: Nuclear Forest OG
Nuclear Forest Strain Overview
Nuclear Forest is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, primarily within the Pacific Northwest cannabis cultivation community. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development rights, though most sources trace its lineage to established West Coast genetics. The name 'Nuclear Forest' references both its potent effects and the distinctive appearance of its buds, which develop dense, tightly-packed structures resembling miniature coniferous trees.
The strain's physical characteristics are notable for their visual appeal. Nuclear Forest plants typically produce medium-sized, conical buds with a deep forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that contributes to its name. The buds are often described as exceptionally resinous, with a sticky texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand.
Nuclear Forest has gained a reputation among experienced cannabis users for its balanced yet powerful effects. While not widely available in commercial markets, it has developed a cult following in certain regional cannabis communities where it's prized for its complex flavor profile and reliable performance. The strain's rarity means that verified information comes primarily from grower reports and limited testing rather than extensive laboratory analysis or large-scale commercial production.

Nuclear Forest Strain Growing Information
Nuclear Forest is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited 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 moderate to high, 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, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds. Nuclear Forest plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation around the dense colas and monitoring for pests, as the resinous buds can attract insects. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements but are sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
