Poly Shore
Also known as: Poly Shore OG
What is the Poly Shore strain?
Poly Shore is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Poly Shore is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure due to the underground nature of its early development. It gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, representing a bridge between classic OG genetics and more contemporary hybrid characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its OG lineage. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The strain's name references both its genetic complexity ('Poly' suggesting multiple influences) and its coastal origins ('Shore' indicating West Coast development).
Poly Shore is known for its well-balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain has maintained a cult following rather than achieving widespread commercial distribution, which has helped preserve its genetic stability. Its rarity in mainstream markets means that authentic examples of the strain are primarily found through specialty growers and collectives, particularly in California and Oregon where it was originally developed.

How do you grow Poly Shore?
Poly Shore is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure and yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation during flowering due to the dense bud structure and monitoring for pests, as the resinous buds can attract spider mites. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding particularly during the flowering phase.
