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.
The effects of White Widow are often described as energizing and creative, making it a go-to strain for socializing or engaging in creative activities. It delivers a potent cerebral buzz, improving mood and focus, while also inducing a subtle body relaxation that doesn’t lead to couch-lock.
This also a pungent, earthy aroma with hints of pine and spice, accompanied by a clean, fresh taste that lingers on the palate. Its buds are covered in a frosty layer of trichomes, giving them a snow-like appearance, which is how the strain earned its name.
White Widow is often used to relieve stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, offering a well-rounded high that appeals to both new and seasoned cannabis users.

Potent with decent flavour. The smoke is a little harsh but not too bad. Hits you in the face with a nice mix of cerebral and body buzz. Gives me munchies and heavy burn out.
