Polar Bear
Also known as: Polar Bear LTD, Polar Bear OG
Polar Bear Strain Overview
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.

Polar Bear Strain Growing Information
Polar Bear is suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, flowering in 60-65 days (8-9 weeks). It reaches a height of 30-78 inches and yields about 1.5-2 oz/ft² indoors and 10-15 oz per plant outdoors. This strain is adaptable to various environments and grows well both indoors and outdoors. The indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks, while outdoor growers can expect to harvest in early to mid-October. The plant exhibits medium height with medium to high yield potential. It develops medium-sized plants with longer top buds, making the yield particularly good for a mostly OG Kush hybrid. Growers should maintain good airflow and humidity control due to the dense, resinous flowers that can be susceptible to mold issues in late bloom.
