Green House Seeds White Widow

Genetics and Origins
White Widow seeds, produced by Green House Seeds, are legendary within the cannabis community, originating from a careful cross of Brazilian and South Indian varieties. This combination creates a hybrid strain with approximately 60% Indica and 40% Sativa genetics, balancing structural and flavor characteristics from both lineages. White Widow has earned its place in history as a prize-winning strain, having secured two first-place awards at the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup, including the “Bio” category and the main strain category, cementing its reputation as a classic and highly sought-after cultivar.

Cultivation Characteristics
White Widow seeds develop plants with a structure leaning toward Indica traits, featuring short internodes, broad leaves, and a bushy growth pattern. These characteristics make the strain especially suitable for indoor cultivation, thriving in Sea of Green (SoG) and Screen of Green (ScroG) setups. Flowering typically lasts between 8 and 9 weeks, resulting in dense, resinous buds. Indoor yields can reach up to 600 grams per square meter. Outdoors, White Widow plants can grow up to 170 centimeters tall, producing an impressive yield of up to 950 grams per plant. The plant’s hallmark is the thick layer of glistening trichomes that coat the buds, giving White Widow its distinctive whitish appearance and dense floral structure.

Flavor Profile
White Widow seeds produce a strain known for its complex flavor that combines sour and sweet notes with an underlying spicy, woody, and earthy character. Some phenotypes may also reveal subtle metallic hints, enhancing the overall taste experience. This flavor complexity pairs perfectly with the rich aromatic profile, delivering a fresh sensation on the palate that keeps the strain popular among connoisseurs.

Aroma
The aroma of White Widow is notably pungent and strong, filling the environment with an unmistakable scent that is both fresh and intense. The rich bouquet reflects the strain’s terpene composition, dominated by Myrcene, α-Pinene, and β-Caryophyllene, which contribute to the woody, spicy, and earthy undertones. The fragrance is an integral part of White Widow’s allure, making it a favorite for those who appreciate a pronounced and vibrant scent during cultivation and consumption.

Growth and Yield
White Widow seeds are favored for their reliable growth and rewarding yields. The plant’s compact and bushy structure, combined with its resinous trichome production, results in robust, dense flowers ideal for trimming and processing. The flowering period of 55 to 58 days ensures growers can achieve a high-quality harvest within a reasonable timeframe. Whether cultivated indoors or outdoors, White Widow offers a consistent, high-yielding option that maintains the iconic qualities of the White Family, making White Widow seeds a must-have for enthusiasts and growers alike.
