White Widow

Feminized - Photoperiod

Origin and genetics

White Widow is an old-school strain that has risen the ranks to become one of the most sought varieties. The hybrid is the recipient of multiple awards, including the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup and multiple other prestigious cups. White Widow is an Indica-leaning strain (60/40) with high THC levels of 22% and 0.1% CBD. The strain results from a cross between a Brazilian Sativa and South India Indica.

White Widow is the go-to choice for many recreational and medical cannabis consumers, and it is easy to identify why. This impressive strain guarantees a fast finish, a complex terpene profile, incredible effects, and soaring potency.

Flavor, aroma, and appearance

White Widow’s dominating terpenes include Pinene, Humulene, Limonene, Myrcene, and Linalool. When the buds are broken down, they produce an enticing floral, pine, and earthy aroma that fills up the room. This authentic scent is what keeps consumers yearning for more. The flavor is similar to the aroma but with a butterfly and sweet twist for an enjoyable session.

This hybrid grows to a maximum of 110cm indoors, making it an ideal choice for cultivators with limited vertical space. In an open environment, White Widow stretches up to 200cm tall. The hybrid produces average-sized, compact buds containing fewer pistils than most strains and is characterized by a white, frosty layer of trichomes - hence its name.

Growing

White Widow is quite a forgiving strain that can withstand slight adjustments in environmental conditions. This easy-to-cultivate strain is ideal for both novice and experienced cultivators. White Widow has become a favorite among commercial growers thanks to its explosive growth and impressive yields.

This strain responds well to SOG, ScrOG, LST, Super cropping, and lollipopping. Under optimum conditions, White Widow produces 500 grams/m2 indoors after flowering for 8 to 9 weeks. Outdoors, this strain produces up to 700 grams per plant.

Effects

White Widow’s effect presents almost instantly after the first few tokes. The strain provides a potent head high at first, which provides an energy boost, elevated creativity, and improved moods. This lasts for some time before a wave of calm and relaxation takes over. Fortunately, White Widow does not cause couch lock or sedation. This allows you to enjoy cerebral and physical effects while remaining alert and productive. Consequently, the strain is best taken in the afternoon.

Medical benefits

Medical cannabis patients use White Widow for anxiety, depression, stress, pain, and mood disorders.
