Also known as Honey Pot, Starcloud, Neb
## Nebula: The Award-Winning Classic from Paradise Seeds Few hybrids have earned as much competition hardware as **Nebula**, a 60/40 sativa-dominant cross bred by **Paradise Seeds** in the Netherlands. Since its release in 1996, it has become a benchmark strain referenced across the cannabis industry — a genuine 1990s classic that still holds up. ## 🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage Nebula was created by crossing **Master Widow** with **American Haze** (also documented as **US Haze**). This pairing merges the resinous, potent structure typical of Widow-line genetics with the racy, cerebral lift of classic American haze sativas. The result is a strain that leans sativa (60%) but retains enough indica influence (40%) to keep the experience grounded rather than scattered. Paradise Seeds released Nebula in the **1990s**, and it has remained in steady production ever since — you'll still find it listed as Read more Show less
Quick Hits
What kind of high is Nebula?
A sativa-dominant hybrid reported as creative, euphoric and uplifted. Picked for watching tv/movies and creative projects at any time of day. The profile features fruity honey flavor, sweet aroma and pinene as the lead terpene.
Terpenes help give cannabis its aroma. Compare citrus, pine and earthy notes to find what appeals to you. The profile offers clues, not a guaranteed high.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

There’s more to a strain than THC%.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.
High THC (>15%), low CBD (<1%) - Most common recreational strains
