Nuken is a strain that leans heavily towards indica dominance, with a genetic makeup of 80% indica and 20% sativa. It was created by crossing two popular strains, God Bud and Kish. Nuken is a powerful bud with a moderate THC level, ranging from 13-25%, and is known for its irresistible fragrance and flavor. The scent is reminiscent of sweet marshmallows with a hint of pungent skunk, while the taste is similar to that of freshly baked marshmallow pie with a subtle skunky aftertaste upon exhale. The buds of Nuken are large, dense, and covered in light minty green fur, accompanied by a thick layer of dark olive green leaves and sporadic fiery orange hairs. They are coated in a fine layer of crystal trichomes that glisten with sweet, sticky resin.

The high produced by Nuken is long-lasting and calming, without causing sedation or narcotic effects. It begins with a body buzz that starts in the spine and gradually spreads throughout the body, alleviating pain. This is accompanied by deep introspection, which can sometimes lead to feeling spaced out or distant. Due to its potent effects, Nuken is considered to be beneficial for treating chronic pain, mild cases of depression, chronic stress, and anxiety.
