About White Widow
White Widow was created by crossing a Brazilian landrace sativa with a South Indian landrace sativa. The result was a plant that produced staggering amounts of trichomes, giving it a white, frosted appearance — hence the name. White Widow is the benchmark for balanced hybrid effects: the cerebral sativa head high and the indica body relaxation in perfect harmony. Its aroma is earthy, sweet, and slightly sour with floral and pine notes. White Widow took the cannabis world by storm, winning the Cannabis Cup in 1995 and going on to become one of the most sold strains of all time.
