What is the Bear Claw strain?
Bear Claw is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 35.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and banana and citrus flavor profile.
Bear Claw is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) with multiple documented genetic lineages. The most prominent version is created through crossing Bubba Kush and SFV OG Kush, though another documented lineage from Alien Genetics shows Ghost OG crossed with Sour Apple IBL. This strain has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its hard-hitting high and delicious flavor. Bear Claw produces conical dense emerald-green nugs with minty undertones, thin dark orange hairs and chunky, golden-white crystal trichomes. The buds are dense and richly colored, ranging from deep forest greens to hints of purple that become especially pronounced under cooler growing conditions. The strain's complex terpene profile contributes to its unique aroma and effects, with myrcene often accounting for up to 35% of its terpene content, alongside significant concentrations of limonene and caryophyllene. Bear Claw represents a successful example of modern hybrid breeding, combining the relaxing properties of indica genetics with the uplifting qualities of sativa strains.
