Sunset Bear
Sunset Bear Strain Overview
Sunset Bear is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. Breeders aimed to create a strain that combined the relaxing qualities of indica varieties with the cerebral stimulation of sativas, resulting in this carefully balanced hybrid.
The strain's name likely references both its appearance and effects. Mature buds often display a sunset-like color palette, with deep purple and orange hues emerging alongside the characteristic green foliage, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures. The 'Bear' portion of the name may refer to the strain's substantial bud structure or its potent effects. Sunset Bear plants typically produce dense, resinous flowers with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a shimmering appearance under light.
Notable features include the strain's complex aromatic profile and consistent growth patterns. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Sunset Bear has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique terpene expression. The strain remains more commonly available in specific regional markets rather than as a mass-produced commercial variety.

Sunset Bear Strain Growing Information
Sunset Bear 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 occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that enhance its color expression. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Sunset Bear responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in overly humid conditions. The strain benefits from a balanced nutrient regimen and adequate lighting to develop its full terpene profile.
