Bear Grylls
Also known as: Bear Grylls OG
Bear Grylls Strain Overview
Bear Grylls is a hybrid cannabis strain named after the famous British adventurer and television personality. The strain was developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, who created it by crossing their flagship strain Cookies and Cream with a selected phenotype of The White. This combination resulted in a plant that combines the dessert-like qualities of Cookies and Cream with the potent resin production of The White. The strain was released around 2018 and gained attention for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, frosty buds with a coating of trichomes that gives them a white, crystalline appearance. The nugs typically display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often described as having a gassy, creamy aroma with undertones of citrus and earthiness. The name references the strain's purported ability to help users feel adventurous and resilient, though this is anecdotal rather than scientifically verified.
Bear Grylls is considered a moderately potent strain with effects that users describe as initially cerebral and uplifting, followed by a relaxing body sensation. The strain has gained popularity in certain cannabis communities but remains relatively specialized compared to more mainstream varieties. Its exact genetic lineage and characteristics can vary between different growers and seed banks, as is common with many cannabis strains.
