Bipolar
Also known as: Bipolar OG
What is the Bipolar strain?
Bipolar is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Bipolar is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily within the West Coast cannabis community. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources trace it to California. Its name references the contrasting effects users report experiencing, which some describe as shifting between energetic and sedating phases. The strain gained a small but dedicated following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its complex profile.
Visually, Bipolar typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep forest green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are usually tightly packed with a slightly conical structure. The strain's aroma is complex and layered, often described as having both sweet and fuel-like notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Bipolar is known for its balanced hybrid effects that some users describe as having two distinct phases. Initial effects are often reported as cerebral and uplifting, followed by a gradual transition to more relaxing, body-focused sensations. This dual-phase experience has contributed to the strain's name and reputation. Due to its relatively high THC content and complex effect profile, Bipolar is generally recommended for experienced consumers rather than beginners.

The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests usually occur in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere.

Yields are moderate, averaging 1.5-2 ounces per square foot indoors or 14-18 ounces per plant outdoors. Bipolar prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels.
