Known the world over, White Widow is a legendary hybrid cannabis strain known for its extraordinary potency and concentration of active ingredients and widely used for both medicinal and recreational purposes, a must in Amsterdamand the Netherlands‘ most popular coffee shops.
Although the origins of these genetics are unknown to this day, White Widow has gradually become one of the most popular marijuana strains. What makes White Widow unique is the extraordinarily generous amount of crystalline trichomes that cover her inflorescences and which helped inspire her name.
According to a myth surrounding White Widow herself, the strain was originally grown selectively in the mountains of Kerala in southern India. However, her geographical origins are currently known: she was first created in the 1990s by Green House Seeds in the Netherlands from the hybridisation of Brazilian cannabis indica genetics with Indian cannabis sativavarieties. The strength of the White Widow cannabis strain is undoubtedly her inflorescences, which are covered in thick, milky ‘crystals‘ with a characteristic ‘sugary’ appearance and a typically white colour: the plant has a tendency not to pigment its trichomes even when the inflorescences are perfectly ripe and full of resin. Generally rather low, the leaves are intensely green and elongated, while the inflorescences emit a pungent, mainly earthy, woody and spicy smell similar to pepper combined with citrus. The smoke produced by combustion is deliciously sweet, citrusy, fresh and almost balsamic with a slight floral tendency.
