The backstory of where we found the Original White Widow Strain – long before the Crimea invasion …
Typically this is what you or other companies will call their Rus or Widow Maker or Russian Widow but the seeds are sold by a notorious Cosmonaut with investments in several plantations specializing in regional Russian speaking cannabis culture pubs. This variety itself has more than 35 years of for-profit grow history and the grower himself insists he originally bought it from a High Times Classified advertizement in the late 1970s as WHITE WIDOW cannabis from an American grower when on vacation.
These look like hardy seeds that can tolerate various climate conditions with relatively low molding and cold nights with thick morning fog and warm days are best for the foliation stage.
This is a typically long and happy pain relieving high that goes served well with coffee, pastry, juice and reefer. And its great again after a hardy afternoon meal with your rye chaser and stogie to alleviate stiffness and sore spots while not sticking you on the sofa for evening fun.
White Widow has a really intense flavor and aroma, with notes of lemon, fresh flowers, exotic fruit and spices. The effect is powerful, highly relaxing full-body and long-lasting.
Possibly the most famous cannabis strain of all times, a balanced hybrid first bred in the Netherlands. It’s a cross between the Brazilian Sativa landrace and the North Indian Indica male. White Widow has blessed every Dutch coffee shop menu since it appeared in High Times.
Through selective breeding a milestone in the history of cannabis was set that brought us countless high quality varieties until today like White Russian, White Rhino, and White Wedding. Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors and can be kept to around 1 meter average height under lights.

FLOWERING OUTDOOR Ready at the end of September (April in southern hemisphere) with a production up to 1100 g/plant. Medium size, branchy, bushy plant, needs support. Bred specifically for a high trichome count, White Widow is especially valued in the production of hash. This strain has an average THC of 20%, with some phenotypes exceeding that amount.
Growing
White Widow can be grown from seed or from clone (achieved by planting clippings of mature and healthy plants). It is a mold-resistant strain, making outdoor cultivation an option — although an almost Mediterranean climate with constant temperatures between 70 and 86℉ works best. White Widow look much more indica during the vegetative stage: plants are bushy and wide, and rarely exceed 6 feet in height. The plants flower within 9 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest in early October when grown outdoors. Growers can expect about 37 to 55 grams (or about 1.3 to 2 ounces) per square foot of plant.
The White Widow High
White Widow shows is a super-sticky strain which provides a cerebral high that, while sometimes daunting in large doses, mostly allows users to remain functional and aware of their surroundings. An excellent choice for chatty social use.
What this strain lacks in flavor profile, it makes up for in quick-acting cerebral effects. Users can become more acutely perceptive of their surroundings, tuned into sounds and patterns that may have gone unnoticed before. Enthusiasts also describe an almost immediate uplift in mood and an energy to focus that can be applied to either mundane tasks like cleaning or more complex problem-solving tasks. White Widow can also be creatively valuable, inducing a kind of rapid-fire thought association that can open up some previously unexplored territory.
Psychedelic effects like visual distortion and increased perception can amplify the impact of music or art, while a very mild body buzz mellows users out. Because of its deeply cerebral effects, this strain is typically more psychologically than physically helpful. It can aid those with attention deficit disorders in sustaining focus on a single topic. It can also boost energy in cases of fatigue or depression. Some users have even described White Widow as efficient in relieving migraines. Because of its potency, the introspective mind-race associated with White Widow can sometimes veer into paranoia, and smokers may want to plan dosage accordingly.
