Breeders are constantly turning out new genetic combinations of cannabis in hopes of creating the next big thing. Rarely do they develop a genetic combination renown enough to win a Cannabis Cup. The White Widow strain hit the market in 1994 and started winning awards a year later. Enthusiasts and farmers alike can thank Green House Seeds for helping White Widow reach the masses.

The most dominant characteristic of the strain is that it does not fully color when flowering. This is why the White Widow strain has a tendency to have nugs that are light green in color. The heady high pairs perfectly with the peppery citrus flavor of the smoke. Paired together, the coloring and flavor make White Widow a unique experience you should heavily consider making your next choice.
Traditionally a sativa-dominant hybrid strain, there are some variations that lean more towards the indica side of the spectrum. Each of these variations has a potent flavor and unique coloring associated with the original plant. These genetic variations include Orange Widow, Berry White, White Rhino, and White Russian. However, they do not produce the same energizing and cerebral high. The effects provide tremendous benefits to people with anxiety or depression. Just like in the movies, it’s hard to beat the original.
