Polar Bear is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Kush Cleaner. Its development has resulted in a stable plant that thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring moderate cultivation expertise. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety following a flowering cycle of exactly 61 days.

The chemical complexity of Polar Bear is defined by a terpene profile led by terpinolene, followed in descending order of dominance by caryophyllene, myrcene, ocimene, limonene, humulene, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, pinene, bisabolol, linalool, and alpha-terpinene. This composition delivers a nuanced aromatic and flavor experience dictated by the interaction of these twelve specific compounds. As a THC-dominant hybrid, the strain provides a consistent sensory profile rooted in its detailed terpene hierarchy.

Users of Polar Bear report experiencing effects characterized primarily as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain a functional option for addressing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. The genetic reach of this hybrid is substantial, as it serves as a parent to numerous varieties including Alpine Kush, Choco Gorilla, Dreamin OG, Goldilocks, Gorilla Amnesia, Gorilla Critical, Gorilla Kinder, Gorilla New York, Gorilla Pineapple, Gorilla Strawberryback, Gorillanuska, and Hindu Gorilla.
