What is the Polar Bear strain?
Polar Bear is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Polar Bear is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Karma Genetics, developed by crossing a selected Bear OG F1 cut from South Holland with White OG V2.0 male genetics. This cross gives more of an overall Bear OG dominance resulting in longer top buds, creating a mostly OG Kush hybrid with improved yield characteristics. The strain is known for its distinctive appearance featuring dense buds covered in heavy trichome production that gives it an arctic-white, frosty appearance - hence the "polar bear" name reference. The name evokes two core traits—arctic-white trichomes and a burly, "bear-like" physical presence in the effects profile, with rock-hard buds covered in a thick blanket of trichomes. Polar Bear emits a range of scents from sour to lemon pine, providing a smooth but potent experience that is ideal for nighttime use, aiding in full body relaxation and promoting sleep. The strain represents a modern evolution of classic OG genetics, emphasizing resin production and terpene intensity over maximum yield, making it particularly appealing to craft cannabis markets that value quality and bag appeal over raw output.
