White Widow Cannabis  – White Widow Strain

Among the most famous strains worldwide is White Widow, a balanced hybrid first bred in the Netherlands by Green House Seeds. A cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and a resin-heavy South Indian indica,  White Widow has blessed every Dutch coffee shop menu since its birth in the 1990s. Its buds are white with crystal resin, warning you of the potent effects to come. A powerful burst of euphoria and energy breaks through immediately, stimulating both conversation and creativity. White Widow’s genetics have given rise to many other legends like White Russian, White Rhino, and Blue Widow. Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors.

White Widow’s Aroma, Taste, and Effect

As mentioned above, the White Widow strain’s smell is strong and musky, while the taste is sweet, sweet, and fruity. In terms of effects, the strain has an uplifting effect and can make the user feel relaxed, tingly, and mellow. For night-time use, a White Widow high can be described as waking up in the middle of the night, but rather than being groggy and unfocused, the effects from this cannabis strain can actually wake people up and give them a productive day. The White Widow strain’s effects can last from six to 12 hours, but typically only last about eight hours or less, making the strain a good daytime cannabis for people looking to relax for a few hours.

Growing White Widow

The White Widow needs a lot of attention, but the rewards will last a long time. The White Widow strain is tricky to grow because it needs an “over-the-top” approach to thrive. The strain can be grown indoors or outdoors. When grown indoors, White Widow needs a lot of light to produce proper buds, so grow a forest of it! When grown outdoors, grow White Widow in partial shade with little supplemental lighting.
