Duke Nukem, also known as "Nukem" and "Nuke Em," may be named after a video game character who spends his days obliterating &ldquo;alien bastards,&rdquo; but this strain is a lot more laidback than its action hero namesake. The mostly sativa hybrid produces an active mental high that is uplifting and may have you feeling more creative than commando. It&rsquo;s a cross between Chemmando and <a href="/strains/chernobyl">Chernobyl</a> and flowers in 9 to 11 weeks. The strain is a fairly easy plant to grow and should give medium to high yields. Its buds are known to be especially colorful with shades of frosty pinks and oranges. Careful not to confuse this strain with Nuken, which is a different indica dominant hybrid.

Strain Highlight: Chernobyl, the Mental Pain Reliever

Best Cannabis Strains for Fighting Seasonal Affective Disorder

I was told this was an indica dominant strain when I bought it, so when I looked it up and found it was sativa dominant I was nervous. Sativa strains usually make me really anxious and paranoid. We're about 10 minutes into this smoke, and so far I'm feeling totally fine. 

This flower is beautiful. Like fluffy little trichome covered clouds. You would think that would have tipped me off to this being a sativa but I am a dingus. And the smell!! So pungent and earthy. You definitely taste a dirty flavor, but it's coupled with a more citrusy flavor so it works. Maybe dirt is my thing, who knows. A clean, tasty smoke. 

This is a perfect daytime flower. I feel relaxed but energized, which is a strange combination I'm not used to. I am so used to fighting the indica sleepy vibes during the day. I'm focused and feel like I can get shit done right now. 

This is a strain I'm coming back to. It's not overwhelming the way I find sativas to be, but I don't feel couch-locked. Ace daytime flower. I feel weird about the name but hey, what's a little reminder of a catastrophic nuclear event with your daily smoke? 

Chernobyl a hybrid that emanates a strong, pungent, aromatic scent of lime - with a slight hint of cherry.  It sharply affects your sense of smell as you inhale it's green,  provocative odor. This assault on your senses is just a foreshadowing of what is in store for you whether you smoke or vape this beautiful Sativa dominant hybrid.  Large, bright, frosty green buds can not be mistaken- to be any other strain I have found so far.  This unique fragrance sets my mouth watering when I get a whiff of it.  - For me it had a penetrating power that was not only mentally stimulating - causing a burst of creativity but, - it works swiftly (almost immediately) on chronic severe pain.  Bonus!  This strain is very appealing for a variety of reasons - but I love the long lasting effects of the head/body high. Did not leave me feeling tired.  This strain did not knock me out - although I would say the reaction I have when using this is an exceptional pain reliever.   I have to say I can think of no NEGATIVE effects of this bud.    I would strongly recommend this strain to those that are dealing with pain & need a break up from the monotony.  It alleviates stress, depression & anxiety like a charm.  I enjoy it immensely for the giggles it gives me too. 

I've tried this strain a couple of times before. My current sample is the best I've had with a light green color mixed with light orange hairs and covered in trichromes. The buds are of loose density and are sticky with resin. Vaping produced a thick vapor but didn't make me cough. The taste is pleasant and extremely unusual. There is a slight lime undertone but it's not profound. The effect hit almost immediately with a uplifted, creative, energized feeling. This isn't a pure sativa, though. I also feel a pleasant body numbing, that took care of my back pain. My nausea is gone, leaving me with a medium munchie factor. This strain doesn't provide the same mental focus that many other sativas do for me, although it doesn't reduce my focus either.  I'd say the effects are close to 50/50, although leaning slightly to the indica side. This is a more active strain than a couch lock one. After about 60 minutes, the effects dissipate fairly quickly. Left me with a dry mouth and eyes. Overall, is a a good balanced strain to treat issues such as pain, anxiety, stress, nausea and poor appetite, without jitters or being glued to a soft horizontal surface. The overall effect is so unusual, that I can't think of another strain to compare it to. Definitely worth the experience. -sy

Trainwreck X Trinity X Jack the Ripper......need i say more!  A subcool best.  Cherry Limeade flavor uplifting high that lasts through the day...  Take this girl to 9 weeks and find deep lavanders along with huge trichome production starting early.  The high hits like a mule kicks yet she will not take you over the edge without over consumption....

this is my newest and most favorite strain , because of what it has done for not just one but multiple problems , first it was suggested that I try this strain for its ability to calm me from my anxiety, but then I noticed that my headaches ,and diabetes were under control as well as minor aches and pains .
 the smoke is like a thick yet mellow drift of pine wood burning and a smell that triggers you memory centre and reminds you of a quick joint behind the back stop in high school, it tastes like a  mouthful of lemon heads and lime mike and ikes, if flushed correctly the taste is so strong it will stay with the bowl till suck through.
chernobyl takes about 30 seconds to 3 minutes to take effect , the unbearable feeling of lightness ,super floaty, no more worries , and yet the feeling of great ability and accomplishment can accompany all the medical benefits mentioned before, I have heard reports of immediate relief from migraines and other pains .
 As I said before this is my favorite strain and I suggest you try and find this one if you need relief from lifes doldrums.

Genetics: Jack The Ripper x Trainwreck - or any of the Jack family strain x Trainwreck - Chernobyl is about as interesting as it gets and provides a super awesome high, enough to quick jump start your day instead of coffee or an energy drink.  

Highly recommended for people feeling mentally fatigued or tired, groggy-ness

Not recommended for people that have negative affects to stimulants.

Hello there avid review reader. TL;DR = Slymer smells great, has a beautiful sativa high that is high energy, taste is decent lime citrus and fruit with mild pine. The  Slymer phenotype of this strain is wonderful and that's what  I'm reviewing. It's an aesthetically pleasing dark green.  Smells amazing, like mint limeaid with some floral notes. Woke up this morning and took a single decent pull from a chillum and was instantly energetic, it hits like a jostle (as opposed to a fright train or pillow) and slowly builds for 15 minutes before leveling off into an energetic euphoria. I wouldn't call it focused or clear headed, but it wasn't spacey or racy. It was nice, within 20 minutes I had made coffee and popped cinnamon rolls into the oven. But after the energy, I sat and watched some weird anime with my partner and wasn't restless. I really enjoyed this strain.
