Hybrid

Origin

Nuken is God Bud crossed with Shishkaberry, credited to the Canadian breeder Cash Crop Ken. God Bud brings the heavy, resinous body; Shishkaberry brings the sweet, berry-adjacent side that reads here as marshmallow. It has no descendants on file. It is a genuine Canadian release with a small but devoted following.

About

Nuken is a Canadian cult indica with a sweet-and-skunky nose.

Cash Crop Ken crossed God Bud with Shishkaberry for it, an 80 percent indica. THC varies a lot, anywhere from the low teens to the mid twenties. The effect is euphoric and then deeply relaxing.

Sweet nose, wide THC.

What to Expect

Nuken is a euphoric lift that settles into a deep, relaxing heaviness. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 75 percent of a solid sample, with happiness at 54 and a euphoric reading at 47, and the weighted data ranks the deep relaxation near the ceiling. It slides toward sleep at the end.

The negatives stay low: dry mouth at 26 percent, dry eyes at 15, a dizzy note near 6 and nothing beyond that. A moderate dose keeps it comfortable, and it is a night strain.

Flavor and Aroma

Nuken smells pungent and sweet, described as marshmallow with a sharp skunk edge over earth. The flavor is earthy with a distinct nutty note. The sweet-and-skunk contrast is the memorable part.

Terpenes Explained

Nuken has no measured terpene data, with only Myrcene, Camphene and Caryophyllene named.

Nothing is quantified, so neither the marshmallow sweetness nor the skunk can be tied to a compound. A jar that genuinely carries both, the sweet and the sharp, is the one true to the description.

Cannabinoids and Potency

Nuken THC is reported across a very wide band, from about 13 to 25 percent, with no clean lab sample in our data. That spread means the jar's own number matters more than the strain average. CBD is a trace.

Nuken can test anywhere from the low teens to the mid twenties, so read the label before you judge the dose.
