sowed six Nebula seeds (all of them sprouted), kept them in vegetative growth for four weeks and ended up in three females after having shortened the light cycle to 12 hours. The plants were grown on soil, together with other strains 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. 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. The grower`s three Nebula plants were ripe after 8-9 weeks of flowering, exactly matching the time period stated in Paradise Seeds`catalogue (which at that time was 56-63 days, nowadays it`s 60-65 days). They were rich in resin, but could not quite compete with the sheer abundance of White Widow. Nevertheless these big buds delivered a stronger and more complex buzz than White Widow amazing. Furthermore the high effects resembled those of the previously tested Nebula water hash pretty much, even though somewhat less intensive, of course. 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 16-20%.

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. Luc reports that Nebula also performs very well in a sea of green setup, recommending 20 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, in figures 500-600 grams per plant according to Paradise Seeds.

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...
