White Widow [Femz.]

White Widow Strain

Since its first appearance in the early 1990s, White Widow has been a popular topic in many coffee shops across Amsterdam. It is truly a strain that has gone down as an everlasting legend. White Widow seeds have formed a basis for many of the newer chronic strains around today due to their intense resin production and potent buds, making it a perfect parent plant for many crossovers.

White Widow Cannabis Seeds were originally bred by crossing a Brazilian sativa with a highly resinous South Indian indica, resulting in a plant that creates a frosty white coating of resin; which is where the name came from.

Is White Widow Indica or Sativa?

At around 70% Indica this species leans nicely over into the Indica dominant variety. The 30% Sativa mixes up the typical couchlock high and gives a more exciting and stimulating high.

What does White Widow smell like?

After cracking open a dense White Widow nug, the aromas of earthy pepper and pine are very apparent. The scents are not too overwhelming making this strain good for growers who are running a stealth operation.

White Widow THC Content

The extra high THC levels of White Widow is one of the properties that brought this cannabis strain to fame. A thick sticky blanket of resin smothers the buds as they grow, creating some seriously strong cannabis.

What are the effects of White Widow?

Smoke reports show that smoking this strain gives a powerful head high that can overwhelm new users who are not used to smoking. The head high gives such a strong euphoric sensation that users sometimes compare it to a psychedelic high. When flushed and cured correctly the earthy pepper and pine notes can be picked up when smoking, creating a slightly morish effect for the user.

How much does White Widow yield?

Because the buds grow so dense, the yields can be very deceiving with this strain. The buds are very heavy and even the smallest nugs will fluff out in the grinder to shockingly large amounts. White Widow seeds produce large plants with lots of side branching and all training methods work very well. Average yields of 500 grams per square meter are often achieved even with new growers with low experience.

How long does White Widow take to flower?

The plants generally take 8 weeks to flower and be ready for harvest. White Widow seeds are known for being popular with new growers as the plants are very stable and can take a lot of abuse without experiencing plant problems.
