Description
What is White Widow?
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 land race 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 is a 1990s hybrid that’s only gaining in popularity. It’s no surprise, either. This strain is famous for its potent, yet very well-balanced high. The THC content of this strain can reach up to 25%.
White Widow Experience
White Widow has been popular among Amsterdam coffee shops since the 1990s. Though a Netherland’s native, this strain quickly traveled across the pond to North America. A Sativa-dominant hybrid, White Widow is a cross between a Brazillian heirloom strain and an Indian Indica.
Get ready for a truly pleasant experience with White Widow. Uplifting, energetic, and creative this strain cultivates an almost psychedelic headspace. Yet, you’ll still have plenty of wherewithal for engaged and intimate conversation. Recreational consumers will appreciate the sociability of this strain, as well as the expansive mood it cultivates.
As a well-balanced hybrid, this strain also comes with a healthy dose of full-body relaxation. Though this strain is often thought to be more mental than physical, you’re likely to feel your muscles loosen up. Many White Widow fans enjoy the light body numbness that this hybrid produces. Though this strain is energizing, the Indica heritage adds calmness to an otherwise cerebral high.
Traits of White Widow and White Widow Seeds
This strain is so heavily coated in white crystals that it looks almost white — no doubt where its name came from. It can be hard to pick out any other details under those thick white trichomes, but marijuana consumers will notice light green leaves with few pistils. Despite the heavily resinous nugs, these fluffy buds can be broken open without too much hassle.
Not just sugary in appearance, this strain has sweet flavors and aromas, with hints of earthiness and spice. Novice marijuana consumers be warned — this weed can cause some serious coughing.

This has got to be my favorite strain that I ever smoked. It gets me moving.. I’m not too lazy, I feel happy. I can get things done for sure.. I’m not paranoid AT ALL.. I actually feel NORMAL! Smoking White Widow is like taking a medication for me. It’s the perfect weed. Seriously.

“One of the best Hybrid strains. The high could be described as poisonous. Very slow creeping process which that spreads throughout the body until you’re in a complete euphoric state (almost narcotic at times depending on your tolerance and experience).

“Holy moly…now, I’ve had PCookies before, maybe half dozen rounds, eighth at a whack, but SHAZAM! The latest batch I scored today from my collective was of a whole ‘nother level of high I haven’t experienced since my tolerance regained its lofty heights of late. Wasn’t sure I was even due for another ‘first-high’-type blast, but PCook had other ideas! 😉

What can I say if this is my go to strain? It’s a perfect mixture of indica and sativa that makes you enjoy the unexplored world of your dreams after a couple of big bong rips with a slightly bodyhigh. The only downside of this might be the earthy taste, I enjoy more the sweet taste what most sativa’s have.

“Definitely leans more on the Indica side for me, especially body-wise, which I like. When I was in the hospital recovering from surgery I had some canna peanut butter with White Widow and it helped with the pain way better than the pain meds they were giving me. There are better strains for pain though, like Blueberry. It also had me really relaxed and chill. I would have otherwise been a little stressed out about be…”

“Genetics: “The White Widow strain was first released to the public by Shantibaba, shortly after he founded the Green House Seed Company in 1994 with a Dutch partner named Arjan. The pedigree of this famous sativa/indica hybrid is made up of a pure Brazilian sativa mother and a South Indian, Keralan hybrid father. The exact origins of the mother plant remains somewhat of a mystery but the most educated guess is that i…”
