Polar Dawg
Also known as: Polar Dog, Pdw
Polar Dawg Strain Overview
Polar Dawg is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) developed by House of Funk Genetics through crossing Chem 3 (Chemdawg) with Snow Lotus from Bodhi Seeds. This strain represents a powerful combination of two respected genetics lines, bringing together the potent chemical profile of Chemdawg with the resinous, uniform structure of Snow Lotus. Originally bred to produce massive yields while maintaining high potency, Polar Dawg has gained recognition for its consistent growth patterns and robust vigor. The strain was specifically developed to express the highest-yielding phenotypes in House of Funk's catalog, making it attractive to both commercial cultivators and home growers seeking heavy production. The genetics trace back through Snow Lotus (Afgooey x Blockhead) and the legendary Chemdawg line, combining landrace genetics from Afghanistan, Nepal, and Hawaii with American diesel genetics. Visually, Polar Dawg produces lumpy, popcorn-shaped buds with light minty green coloration, clear orange hairs, and an exceptionally thick coating of white crystal trichomes that reflects its highly resinous nature. The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, heavy buds that require support during flowering due to their weight and resin production.

Polar Dawg Strain Growing Information
Polar Dawg is considered easy to moderate difficulty to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain exhibits extremely vigorous growth with uniform branching structure and average plant heights. Indoor flowering time ranges from 9-10 weeks (63-70 days), while outdoor harvests occur in early to mid-October in Central Coast California climates. The strain is adaptable to indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation methods. Plants require support much earlier than most strains due to the production of large, heavy, resinous buds. Expected yields are exceptionally high, with reports of 2.25+ pounds per square meter indoors. The strain's vigorous nature and uniform structure make it relatively straightforward to manage, though growers should be prepared for the plant's substantial resin production and bud weight during flowering.
