Pollyanna
Also known as: Pollyana
Pollyanna Strain Overview
Pollyanna is a classic cannabis strain from Cultivators Choice that represents an important piece of cannabis history from the 1970s California breeding scene. This strain was a stabilized early maturing Colombian x Mexican seed line from the Sierra foothills, developed during the golden age of landrace hybridization. According to renowned cannabis researcher Robert Clarke, Pollyanna was a stabilized early maturing Colombian X Mexican NLD (Narrow Leaf Drug) hybrid from the Sierra foothills.
The strain holds significant historical importance in cannabis breeding, as it was crossed to a Pakistani hash plant to create PollyPak, a variety sold in the 1980s by Neville's Seed Bank, and Sensi's Mexican Sativa appears to be a PollyPak (Pollyanna x Pakistani) x Durban cross. Robert Clarke also crossed Early Girl X Pollyanna to create Early Pearl, demonstrating its value as breeding stock. Pollyanna is classified as mostly sativa from Cultivators Choice and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of approximately 63 days. Unfortunately, this classic strain appears to have been lost to time, with users noting that nobody kept seeds from Pollyanna going, the same fate that befell many early strains.

Pollyanna Strain Growing Information
Pollyanna can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with moderate difficulty. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks), which is relatively quick for a sativa-dominant variety. As a mostly sativa strain, plants likely exhibit typical sativa growth patterns with taller, more slender structure and longer internodal spacing. The strain was adapted to Sierra foothill conditions in California, suggesting it prefers warm, dry climates with good sun exposure. Indoor growers should provide adequate vertical space for the sativa growth pattern. The strain was never available as feminized seeds and is currently considered lost genetics.
