White Widow

White Widow Sativa Dominant Hybrid

White Widow is a legendary hybrid that has held a celebrated place in cannabis culture since the early 1990s. Bred from a cross between a Brazilian Sativa and a South Indian Indica, it delivers a balanced profile with a slight sativa lean (60% Sativa / 40% Indica). With THC levels averaging around 22%, White Widow is famed for its uplifting yet grounding high, making it a staple in Amsterdam coffee shops and a global favourite among both casual smokers and connoisseurs. Known for its resilience and potency, it has become synonymous with high-quality cannabis worldwide.

Appearance

White Widow’s buds are large, dense, and striking in their frosty presentation. Each nug is coated in a heavy blanket of shimmering white trichomes that give the strain its iconic name. The base colour is a pale, light green adorned with bright orange pistils, which stand out against its crystalline covering. The sticky texture of the buds further signals the resin-rich potency within.

Aroma and Flavour

The aroma of White Widow is both pungent and inviting, blending earthy and citrus tones with hints of fresh pepper. On the palate, the smoke carries a sweet yet spicy flavour, with subtle notes of lemon and herbs that leave a lingering tang on the exhale. While smooth at first, the smoke can expand significantly, sometimes catching novice smokers off guard with its intensity.

Whether enjoyed during a beach walk, a social gathering, or a quiet evening at home, White Widow provides a balanced and reliable high that has stood the test of time.
