In cannabis breeding, a poly hybrid refers to a specific type of hybrid cannabis strain that is created by crossing multiple different strains. Unlike simple hybrids, which are created by crossing two distinct strains, poly hybrids involve the crossing of three or more parent strains. This complex breeding approach aims to combine the desirable traits from multiple cannabis strains, leading to a diverse and potent final product. Poly hybrids are developed using a multi-step breeding
