White Widow

Embodying the traditions of the old school, the iconic White Widow needs no introduction. Purchase feminized seeds of this truly legendary strain from the KADAMA seed shop and let this masterpiece of cannabis breeding tell its fascinating story.

History and Characteristics

Hailing from the Netherlands in the 90s, the original White Widow was first created by a breeder known as Shantibaba. Since then, it has undergone several "revamps" by nearly every major seed bank. Its extensive lineage includes dozens of strains, many of which have become classics in their own right – White Russian, Great White Shark, Blue Widow, White Rhino and Moby Dick. Tracing its roots through the ancient landraces of Brazilian sativas and South Indian indicas, White Widow inherits the best traits from its predecessors, delivering an impressive flavor, aroma and balanced effects. The strain owes its name to the unique feature of its flowering, when sparkling trichomes of the strain cover the entire surface of the fluffy buds and even fan leaves like a dense glaze. White Widow is the epitome of incredible beauty and mystery.

Flavor and Aroma

The strain has an austere yet bold flavor profile, with a pronounced dominance of citrus and pine. When consumed, the primary composition is complemented by earthiness and subtle woody notes, accentuated by spices and herbs. A true delight for connoisseurs of old-school vibes!

Recreational and Medicinal Use

White Widow has a THC content of 15-18% and offers a smooth and mellow euphoria – perfect for beginners and those with a low tolerance for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. The high is characterized by a gradual sativa uplift that floods your mind and body with inspiration and invigorating energy. The massive physical relaxation typical of the indica portion of the strain brings a sense of deep peace and tranquility.

White Widow offers pronounced therapeutic properties due to a complex terpene profile dominated by caryophyllene, myrcene and terpinolene: it effectively combats insomnia, depression, chronic stress and fatigue, and relieves severe and chronic pain and inflammation.

Cultivation

The plant thrives in warm, dry climates but will adapt easily to cooler climates due to its indica genetics. Plant well-established seedlings in the sunniest spot in your garden and provide regular, moderate watering. Outdoors, the majestic White Widow can reach a height of 2.5 m (8.2 ft). Keep this in mind if you want to keep it discreet. Indoors, the plant will grow up to 1.5 m (5 ft), producing a towering central cola with numerous sturdy lateral branches. The stable genetics of White Widow, perfected by KADAMA's breeders, give growers the ability to apply all known types of training techniques. Beginners will appreciate its undemanding nature, incredible flexibility, robust immunity and tolerance for many common mistakes. Within reasonable limits, of course. Overall, nothing extraordinary is required. Water and feed on schedule, control the pH/ppm of the nutrient solution and runoff water, monitor the environment, ensure the absence of pests and mold, and White Widow will undoubtedly flourish.
