White Widow

White Widow is an Indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that was originally bred by Green House Seeds (the Green House Seed Company) in the Netherlands in the 1990s. It was created as a cross between two landrace strains – a Brazilian Sativa and a South Indian Indica. The original White Widow strain gets its name from the white crystals that cover the plant’s buds. Based on the sheer number of reviews on most seed banks (1,300+ on ILGM alone), White Widow is one of the top sellers among weed users. In fact, it’s so popular that it has won numerous awards, including the High Times Cannabis Cup. The White Widow cannabis strain is also popular because it’s relatively easy to grow. This makes it a good cannabis plant for beginner growers, especially since it’s resistant to pests and mold. As we’ll see below, White Widow seeds also give pretty good yields – which means you’ll have enough stash to last all year.
