Overview
White Widow originated from the Netherlands as a cross between a Brazilian Sativa and a South Indian Indica. It first debuted in the early 1990s at a coffee shop in Amsterdam. People couldn’t get enough of it which is the reason this strain is popular around the globe.
Strain Effects
The uplifting and energetic effects of this strain make it popular for those who want to socialize, lower stress levels, or get a project done. Its fast-acting effects can have you feeling happy in no time, and might even stir up your creative energy. Overall, White Widow produces a well-balanced high that can help you focus and allows you to feel like yourself again.
Growing info
When you grow White Widow, you can expect an average flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks. Even though it thrives indoors or out, it does prefer a warmer climate, ranging from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If you choose to grow indoors, note that these plants do well when grown hydroponically or in soil. When growing outdoors, the typical harvest is around early October. At full maturation, the plants can yield quite a bit of weed, anywhere from 400 to 500 grams per M2. In total, this strain is a strong and fast grower, and it can reach heights of 180 to 220 cm.
Appearance and Aroma
When you see White Widow’s buds covered in crystally trichomes, you’ll understand where its name came from. The frosty and sticky resin on these buds is a beautiful sight to see and is the reason for its high potency. During the flowering cycle, you’ll notice the aroma of lemon-lime, pine, and some earthy undertones.

"Need to vaporize"
Review by Joker
This can be a seriously choky strain, even if you don't feel that with the first few hits. I highly recommend vaping this stuff. Great strain, but choky.

"Great for anxiety"
Review by Tanya
I have an anxiety disorder and White Widow has always been able to calm me down. Also great for aches and pains, and sleeplessness, things that I've also suffered from. A great medicinal smoke.

"Nice indoor grow"
Review by Pat
This girl did great for me indoors. I did have a couple that turned hermaphrodite, but those ones were bag seeds so who knows what happened there. Great for first-time growers too, she doesn't need a ton of maintenance.

"Nice mix of a high"
Review by Derek
Find that I can get into my head quite a bit when I first smoke, but it settles into a nice relaxing couch lock. A nice mix, the best of both worlds, definitely why it's always a favorite.
