White Widow

THE GENETICS White Widow is one of the world's most famous and recognisable cannabis varieties, the result of crossing a Brazilian indica with a southern Indian sativa. Born in the Netherlands in the early 1990s, it quickly became a benchmark in European cannabis culture, winning awards and recognition from its first appearance at the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup. Its name comes from the extraordinary coating of white, resinous trichomes enveloping each flower, giving the flowers an unmistakable snow-white, crystalline appearance. In its CBD version, this strain preserves its original character, offering a high concentration of cannabidiol with a THC content within legal limits. THE APPEARANCE White Widow CBD flowers have a compact, dense structure typical of indica genetics, with abundant trichomes covering every surface of the bud like a blanket of white crystals. The underlying colour is deep green, enriched by orange pistils emerging among the lighter shades of the flowers. The resin is particularly visible even to the naked eye, making every flower a visual example of quality and potency. The buds are selected and trimmed by hand to preserve their integrity and ensure uniform batches. AROMA White Widow's aromatic profile is rich, complex and instantly recognisable. Earthy and woody notes predominate, with hints of pine, resin and moss intertwining with spicy nuances of black pepper and wild herbs. Fresh hints of mint and eucalyptus emerge in the background, lending balance and clarity to the whole. Combustion reveals a warm, slightly sweet aftertaste, making this variety appreciated by those seeking a full, satisfying aromatic experience without excess. ORIGIN AND CULTIVATION This strain is grown in a controlled indoor environment, where temperature, humidity and light cycles are precisely regulated to enhance its natural resin production. Cultivation takes place without pesticides or chemical fertilisers, in line with the highest organic standards. The plants are monitored throughout the flowering cycle — which takes longer than for other varieties — to ensure every batch reaches full maturity before harvest. The flowers are harvested, slowly dried and selected by hand, ensuring consistent, verifiable quality. THE ORIGINS White Widow originated in Dutch greenhouses through the work of breeder Shantibaba, who crossed an indica variety from Brazil with a wild sativa collected in southern India. The aim was to obtain a plant combining the robustness and yield of indica with the aromatic complexity and resinous potency of tropical sativa. The result was a balanced hybrid that immediately stood out for its exceptional trichome coverage. From the Dutch underground scene, it quickly spread across Europe, becoming an absolute classic that still influences new generations of breeders and growers today.
