Nebula is a high-performance hybrid sativa with a Mediterranean heart, cherished by growers and consumers alike for its exceptional potency and clarity. This multi-award-winning strain remains a staple in the cannabis community, combining a quick flowering time with high yields. With a flowering period of 8–9 weeks indoors and an early October harvest window outdoors, Nebula produces up to 500 g per m² indoors and 750 g per plant outdoors. Its distinct honey-sweet aroma, dense resin-coated buds, and uplifting effects make it an outstanding addition to any grow operation.
Lineage
Nebula is a cross between Afghan Skunk x Nebula Cut, bringing together robust indica genetics with a refined sativa influence. The Afghan Skunk parentage enhances resin production and bud density, while the Nebula Cut contributes stability, growth vigor, and an energetic cerebral effect.
Aromas, Flavour and Effect
The terpene profile of Nebula is dominated by Caryophyllene, Beta-Pinene, and Terpinolene, delivering a signature honey sweetness with fruity undertones. In the grow room, its fragrance is rich and inviting, and once dried, the fruit-forward aroma intensifies with a sugary smooth finish.
The effects of Nebula are quick-hitting and energetic, making it an excellent strain for enhancing creativity and motivation. Whether for a night out, home entertainment, or daily tasks, this strain provides an inspiring and invigorating experience. As the high progresses, a gentle indica relaxation follows, rounding out the effect.
Medical users appreciate Nebula for its mood-enhancing properties, making it a popular choice for those seeking an uplifting and energizing strain.
Cultivation
Indoors, Nebula thrives under artificial lighting, making it ideal for Sea of Green (SOG) setups. Due to its sativa genetics, it can stretch considerably, requiring training techniques to manage height. When properly cultivated, it rewards growers with dense, resin-coated buds.
Indoor Yield: 500 g per m²
Outdoors, Nebula flourishes in sun-drenched regions but is also adaptable to more temperate climates. Given the right conditions, it grows vigorously, producing an impressive yield of compact, trichome-rich buds.
Outdoor Yield: 750 g per plant
Grow Report
Below is a detailed grow report of this strain tested by Expert grower, The Doc.
Germination and Vegetative Stage
The Doc sowed six Nebula seeds (all of them sprouted), kept them in vegetative growth for four weeks. The plants were growing soil, under a 600 W HPS lamp and exhibited great uniformity. At the beginning of the flowering stage, they were 50-60 cm high, with moderate side-branching and dark-green leaves.
Flowering Stage
The flowering cycle revealed that the plants would stretch a little bit, finally reaching approx. 80-90 cm at harvest time, still an optimum indoor height. Nebula exhibits strong, long hairs and very densely packed flower clusters that are coated with large amounts of resin glands in the course of flowering. However, note that this strain has rather high light requirements, never expose it to low light setups, but make use of the fact that Nebula will reward extra light with extra buds.
Breeder Paradise reports that Nebula also performs very well in a sea of green setup, recommending 10 plants per square meter for this method (potential yield: up to 500 grams per m2). Nebula will do well in hydro, coco or soil indoors. But this is not the whole story: It can also be grown successfully outdoors even in Holland (harvest time: mid-October), generally being an appropriate choice for outdoor gardens in temperate zones that offer a minimum flowering time of 9 weeks before the first frost. Once again: Nebula needs plenty of light, so locations with southern exposure will yield the best results. The Doc’s Nebula plants were ripe after 8-9 weeks of flowering and yielding 23-28 grams per plant.
Smell and Smoke Report
A very fast effect onset is followed by a long-lasting cerebral sativa high, accompanied with a certain degree of indica stonedness after some time – Sativa & Indica at their best. Some people even describe Nebula’s high as trippy or psychedelic. As for the Nebula’s THC potential, Paradise Seeds states 18-20%.
And yes, these guys have any legitimation to maintain that Nebula earns its second nickname honey pot for its sweet smell and distinctively honeyed fruit flavor. Both smell and taste of the grower’s Nebula buds were fantastic, indeed very sweet and fruity, and also very smooth in the lungs.
Nebula is a remarkable high-quality strain with the extra plus of great versatility. Grow it, smoke it, get ready for take-off and then reach for the stars…

Hi, Team Paradise! In regards to the strain above, I was blown away by it. Initially I had received it as a free gift and could not believe at how easily it grew-and how HUGE. And I LOVE the strain. Personally, for me, it’s very helpful for sleep and anxiety. I ordered it again, but unfortunately I messed up this latest round and was beseiged my mould! I have sense learned many valuble lessons but was broken hearted to have to dismantle every thing early.
