Nuclear Tsunami
Also known as: Nuclear Wave, Tsunami OG
Nuclear Tsunami Strain Overview
Nuclear Tsunami is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two legendary parent strains, creating a cultivar known for its powerful effects and distinctive flavor profile. Breeders aimed to combine the cerebral stimulation of one parent with the physical relaxation of the other, resulting in a balanced yet intense experience that has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, resin-coated buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick layer of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are typically medium to large in size and have a dense, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex aromatic compounds.
Nuclear Tsunami is noted for its complex terpene profile that produces a unique combination of fuel-like, citrus, and earthy aromas. The strain's name reflects both its potency and the wave-like progression of its effects, which users describe as initially cerebral before transitioning to full-body relaxation. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Nuclear Tsunami has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced hybrid effects and distinctive sensory characteristics.

Nuclear Tsunami Strain Growing Information
Nuclear Tsunami is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to grow to medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Nuclear Tsunami responds well to techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and manage height. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage. Adequate airflow is essential to prevent bud rot due to the dense flower structure.
