White Widow: A Frosted Legend with Sky-High Potency

For an experienced connoisseur, this bud presents an exciting session. It is a fast-acting strain with no jitters or bumpy high. Even better, it boasts layered slow-release effects that last long and end in a satisfying soft landing.

Euphoria

The first effect you will notice is a powerful wave of euphoria that washes over you, starting deep in your head. It trickles into an energetic jostle that breaks through your muscles in no time. You will be forgiven for thinking White Widow is the ultimate wake-and-bake strain.

Creativity and Talkative

The sativa kick continues into the peak with rejuvenated thoughts that spark creativity in conversations or for your projects. You may find yourself talking much more than your friends are used to. Add in the confidence to interact with even strangers, and you are set up for the best moments of your lifetime.

Therapeutic Use

Medical users laud this strain’s ability to deal with anxiety, especially in social settings. Its uplifting kick helps with stress and depression. In addition, White Widow will get you cleaning your house in less than three puffs, thanks to its power against chronic fatigue.

Growing White Widow

This strain rewards both novice and experienced growers with bountiful yields with not much hassle. Thanks to its stable and superior genetics, it shows proper resilience against weather elements, pests, and disease. Plus, White Widow is a versatile plant that thrives in different growing setups.

Plant Size and Growth Structure

Despite being a hybrid flower, this strain has a manageable height that will make an Indica landrace envious. An indoor setup towers between 60 and 100 cm, meaning you can get creative with limited spaces. With a long summer outdoor climate and proper nutrition, the plants grow between 150 cm and 190 cm.

Flowering

The average blooming time for white widow plants is between 8 and 10 weeks. You can make it faster by tweaking the lighting cycle for earlier flowering. The plants have an early October harvest outdoors.

Yield Potential

With its heavy resin cover, White Widow retains most of its weight even after drying and curing. Besides the high THC, you can look forward to harvesting 450-500 grams per square meter indoors. On the other hand, outdoor setups yield 600-700 grams per plant on average.

Nurturing White Widow from Seedling to Harvest

Our top cream White Widow feminized cannabis seeds come with a germination guarantee. Using the old-school paper towel method, you should see them germinate in less than 7 days. After sprouting, the plants do well in soil or hydroponic setups with proper care.

Caring for White Widow Seedlings

These young plants are vulnerable in their seedling stage. With delicate roots and inadequate foliage, you will need to optimize the growing environment. This will prevent them from dying while turbocharging their growth.

1. Maintain a steady temperature range of around 70-80°F (21-27°C) and a humidity of 65-70%.
2. Transplant into an airy growing medium with proper drainage. To avoid nutrient burn, use a well-balanced organic mix.
3. Use the misting method to avoid overwatering the young roots. A spray bottle works best rather than a strong water jet that can wash away the plants.
4. Use soft light on the seedlings. LEDs are great as you can set a dimmer intensity. This helps prevent excessive stretching while aiding in steady growth.

Thriving in the Vegetative Stage

The vegetative stage prepares the plants for solid flowering. At this point, you can increase the lighting intensity and hours for a robust branching and lush development. An ideal cycle is 18 hours of light and 6 hours of total darkness.

To deal with overgrowth, regularly prune the plants. Low-stress training techniques such as Screen of Green and tying down ensure an even canopy for better airflow and lighting. If the top inch of your growing medium dries off, only use clean water to moisten it to prevent off-setting the pH balance.

Watch out for any nutrient deficiencies, as they can lead to late and poor blooming. Ideally, the vegetative stage loves a rich nitrogen mix. Adding microbes and micronutrients promotes healthy and sturdier growth.

Resin Production in Flowering

During the pre-flowering stage, lower the lighting hours to 12 hours per day. Being a photoperiod feminized strain, White Widow responds to this gradual change by triggering earlier flowering. 

To boost resin, trichome, and terpene synthesis, use a nutrient mix predominantly made of phosphorus and potassium. Lowering the humidity levels to about 40% protects the buds from mold attacks. 

The plants should be ready to harvest after 8 weeks of flowering. Their milky white resin glands turn cloudy to signal ripening and peak potency. For the smoothest and tastiest smoke, flush the growing medium nutrients about two weeks before harvest.

Origin And History

Since its inception in the 90s, White Widow has inspired numerous cultivars, with some breeders starting from clones and others from S1 genetics. 

For the original White Widow, Netherlands-based Green House Seeds blended a landrace Brazilian sativa with an Indica from South India. The result is a worldwide-renowned hybrid that is easy to grow and exciting to smoke.
