White Widow

Description

Features at a glance

Yield and difficulty figures are growing references for this line, drawn from strain databases and grow guides; they are not a guarantee of results or a usage indication, but catalog data for comparing varieties.

Who is this strain for?

White Widow suits anyone looking for a hybrid with moderate indica dominance and a short cycle (47–56 days), easy to handle even without previous experience, without giving up a complex aromatic profile. It’s a classic, highly recognizable strain, a good choice for those starting from reference catalogs or wanting to compare it with other lines of the same name.

Parentals and genetic origin

White Widow is one of the most repeated names in recent cannabis history. It’s associated with the European scene of the early nineties and a trait that made it instantly identifiable: a resin coating so dense and so pale that it ended up giving the strain its name. Over the years it stopped being a single line and became a broad family, worked by very different hands, so that today versions coexist that share a name and general character but not the same origin.

The version in this catalog comes from the documented cross Widow Bilbo × Widow BCN. These are two separately selected Widow lines brought together to fix the aromatic profile and structure described in this profile. The result is a hybrid with moderate indica dominance, 60% indica and 40% sativa, sitting midway between the most closed, compact indicas and long-cycle sativas.

It’s worth separating the two things: the general context belongs to the White Widow strain as a category, not to this specific line. The Trikoma Seeds version comes from our own mother plants, selected and maintained at our bank in Barcelona, and all the formats in this profile come from that selection. We do not distribute third-party material or resell genetics from other banks.

THC and CBD profile

The declared range is 18–23% THC across the parental lines. This is catalog data for identifying and comparing strains, not a measurement of each seed or a guarantee: different phenotypes coexist within the same batch. CBD is low and not quantified in this profile.

Effects

• Euphoric and good-humored at the start
• Progressive body relaxation, without heavy sedation
• Active, creative mind, encourages conversation
• Stable effect, typical of moderately indica-dominant hybrids

These are effects commonly described for this strain; they vary by person and do not constitute a usage indication.

Aroma and flavor

The trait most commented on about White Widow is the resin. It’s the element that sets it apart in any historical description of the strain, and it remains its visual signature: a dense, pale layer covering the bud and the nearest leaves, giving it that whitish look the name comes from.

In aroma, this line is described as earthy and spicy. It’s a dry, deep base, more woody and turned-earth than sweet, over which citrus, floral and pine nuances appear. The combination is distinctive: the pine and floral notes lift the whole and keep the earthy base from feeling flat, while the citrus adds a fresh edge to the foreground aroma.

The structure matches the genotype. With 60% indica load and 40% sativa, the plant shows neither the extreme compactness of a pure indica nor the stretched build of a long-cycle sativa. The declared indoor flowering of 47 to 56 days places it among the catalog’s shorter-cycle strains, below the Haze-lineage sativas.

Dominant terpenes

Indoor growing

Flowering of 47–56 days. Yield between 750 and 900 g/m² with 600W LED, according to strain databases. Easy difficulty: it’s one of the most rewarding strains in the catalog for growers without experience.

Outdoor growing

Harvest in the first week of October in the Northern Hemisphere and the first week of April in the Southern Hemisphere. Yield of 1–1.5 kg per plant, according to strain databases.

How it fits within the catalog

• AK-74 shares direct parentage: its documented cross is AK-47 × White Widow. Against White Widow’s earthy, spicy profile, AK-74 is described as fresh and fruity, with a 40% indica / 60% sativa genotype.
• Satan’s Bride matches the 60% indica / 40% sativa split, but its declared aroma is simply sweet, without the spicy layer or the pine nuances.
• Total Cheese sits at the opposite end of the catalog in terms of aroma: 90% indica with a profile dominated by aged cheese.

Other versions of White Widow

Trikoma Seeds’ White Widow family includes several versions, all starting from the same mother plant selection: White Widow Auto and White Widow Fast Version.

You can see the full categories at feminized seeds, autoflowering and fast versions.

About the large formats

The 100- and 1,000-seed packs are single-strain. They are not mixes or assorted batches: they contain only White Widow and come from exactly the same mother plant selection as the small pack, with no batches separated by format.

What changes is the price per seed. In the small pack it works out to €3.33, in the 100-seed pack it drops to €2.40, and in the 1,000-seed pack it stays at €1.20. You can check the other varieties available in large format at bulk seeds.

Frequently asked questions about White Widow

What genotype does this White Widow have?

60% indica and 40% sativa, per the profile. It’s a moderately indica-dominant split, without reaching the imbalance of the catalog’s near-pure indicas.

What THC does the profile declare?

The declared range is 18–23%. This is catalog data referring to the parental lines, not a measurement of each seed or a guarantee: different phenotypes coexist within the same batch.

How much does White Widow yield?

As a growing reference for this line: between 750 and 900 g/m² indoors with 600W LED, and 1–1.5 kg per plant outdoors. These are catalog figures, not a guarantee: the result depends on the grow and the conditions.

What’s its relationship to AK-74?

AK-74 is a different strain in the catalog whose documented cross includes White Widow as one of its two parents, alongside AK-47. They share part of the lineage, but their profiles describe different genotypes and aromatic profiles.

Is the 1,000-seed pack from the same selection?

Yes. All formats in this profile come from the same mother plants maintained at the Barcelona bank. The large format only changes the quantity and the price per seed.
