About The White

The White is a rare, mysterious indica-dominant strain whose buds are so completely encased in resin that the flowers appear white — hence the name.

The aroma is subtle and understated with skunk, earth, and citrus notes, while the high is gentle, relaxing, and surprisingly functional. The White is mostly used as a breeding tool for its extraordinary resin production.
