Nerds by Oaseeds Genetics

Nerds Strain Info

Ever dreamed of smoking a candy store?

The Nerds strain is just that—an explosion of sweet, fruity flavor that hits you like a nostalgic sugar rush and then melts into a deep, mellow chill.

Bred from the juicy fusion of Strawberry Cough and Grape Ape, this hybrid is perfectly balanced: 50% indica, 50% sativa.

It’s like having the best of both worlds—a creative lift with a relaxed landing.

Originally crafted by the Oregon Microgrowers Guild, Nerds made a name for itself not just for its flavor but for the experience it brings.

If you're into feminized cannabis seeds, these are a no-brainer.

One look at its neon green buds, brushed with purple undertones and glittering trichomes, and you’ll know you’re in for something special.

The nugs are chunky and heavy, almost too pretty to break up—but trust us, you'll want to.

They’re dressed with amber hairs and frosted in a purple-tinted crystal layer that makes them pop under any light.

Crack one open, and the aroma floods your senses: grape-forward, strawberry-sweet, and a little earthy-spicy on the back end.

It’s like sniffing a bowl of mixed berries with a dash of herbs and a hint of spice—straight-up mouthwatering.

Flowering Time & Yield

This beauty takes around 8 to 10 weeks to flower, and when it does, it doesn’t hold back.

Indoor growers can expect up to 500 grams per square meter (17.6 oz/ft²), which is a solid haul for such a flavorful strain.

Got space outdoors?

Under the sun, Nerds can go wild—delivering up to 1200 grams per plant (42.3 oz) of frosty, fragrant buds.

Effects and Aroma

Right after your first exhale, the high hits with a smooth cerebral wave—euphoric, uplifting, and introspective.

You’ll feel like your thoughts are floating, sharp and vivid, while your body takes a step back and just chills.

Perfect for a solo creative session or zoning out to your favorite playlist, but maybe not the best choice for deep convos or power workouts.

With THC levels ranging from 14% to 25%, it's got a kick, but nothing that'll leave you glued to the couch—unless you overdo it, of course.

CBD levels hover around 0.5%, just enough to keep things smooth and balanced.

The dominant terpene is limonene, giving Nerds that fresh citrus twist, while myrcene and caryophyllene layer in earthy and spicy undertones that round out the ride.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or just stuck in a funk?

Many fans say Nerds helps with all that—and more.

It’s a go-to for easing anxiety, lifting moods, and even sparking an appetite when nothing else works.

And yeah, it might leave your mouth dry or make you a little dizzy if you're not used to it—but a cold drink and a comfy couch solve that quick.

Bottom line: Nerds seeds from Oaseeds Genetics are a flavor-packed, feel-good ride from start to finish.

Grab your grinder, roll one up, and let the candy-coated clouds take you somewhere better.

Grow Tips & What We Love About Nerds

We’ve seen Nerds handle pests and mold with surprising ease, making it a solid pick even if your grow space isn’t perfectly dialed in.

Its natural resistance gives peace of mind when humidity spikes or the airflow isn’t ideal.

This strain thrives in mild to warm climates, where temperatures stay between 20–28°C (68–82°F), and it really shines when it gets consistent light and air circulation.

It performs well both indoors and out, but outdoors—under the sun—it has more room to stretch and really show off.

The plants usually stay compact and bushy, which is great for indoor tents or discreet balcony setups.

If you're growing in a place with shorter summers or cooler nights, Nerds can still push through thanks to its hybrid strength.

We’d recommend it to intermediate growers, especially those who like to train their plants a bit and don’t mind checking in regularly.

But here’s what really grabs us—besides the colors and the crazy bag appeal, it’s the way the buds come out looking like little alien candies, dense and resin-heavy with a rainbow twist.

Every harvest feels like opening a treasure chest full of sticky, colorful gems.
