Polar Express
Also known as: Polar Express Auto
Polar Express Strain Overview
Polar Express is an autoflowering cannabis variety that combines Californian Kush, Northern Lights #5, and Lowryder genetics, resulting from extensive experimentation with over 20 different Kush strains before selecting the final genetic combination. The strain has a rich history dating back to its development by various breeders including Auto Seeds and Avalanche Genetics, born from a desire to merge the best attributes of classic cannabis genetics with modern cultivation techniques. Maintaining strong indica dominance, Polar Express is classified as a short to medium autoflowering variety with a high flower-to-leaf ratio and dense structure. The strain is particularly valued as an ideal choice for stealthy or guerrilla grows due to its neutral or low odor profile and exceptional hardiness. Plants are purposefully bred to grow compact, typically reaching heights of 30-80cm on average, though some growers report achieving up to 110cm under optimal conditions.

Polar Express Strain Growing Information
Flowering time ranges from 60-80 days from seed, with some phenotypes completing in as little as 53-70 days depending on the breeder. Expected yields are 300-450g/m² indoors, with some sources reporting up to 600g/m² under optimal conditions. Plants remain compact at 30-80cm in height, making them ideal for discrete indoor cultivation. The strain is highly resilient, easy to grow, and very resistant to mold, diseases, and pests. It is advised not to top this strain; instead maintain the large single cola for highest yields, and use light cycles of 18/6 or 16/8 to develop the greatest flavor without excessive smell. The strain is hardy enough for outdoor growing in most climates and completes its entire growth cycle in 9-11 weeks.
