White Widow Photoperiod Cannabis Seeds

White Widow is one of the most famous photoperiod cannabis strains, known for its balanced effects and ease of growth. It’s a hybrid strain, offering a mix of indica and sativa traits, and has been a staple in the cannabis community for decades.

Key Characteristics:

• Genetics: A hybrid cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and a South Indian indica, White Widow provides a well-rounded high, making it a versatile strain for a variety of users.
• Photoperiod: As a photoperiod strain, White Widow requires changes in the light cycle to transition from the vegetative to the flowering stage. Typically, this means reducing the light cycle from 18 hours to 12 hours of light when you’re ready for flowering (for indoor grows).
• Effects:
• Balanced: The effects are a mix of cerebral stimulation from the sativa side, combined with relaxing, body-numbing sensations from the indica side.
• Uplifting and euphoric: White Widow is known for producing a euphoric, social high that’s great for creative activities or socializing.
• Mild body relaxation: The indica traits offer a calm, mild body relaxation without being too sedative.

Flavor/Aroma:

• Earthy and woody with subtle hints of spicy and floral notes. Some users detect a sweet, almost fruity aftertaste.

Growing Characteristics:

• Indoor or Outdoor: White Widow can thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments. It’s highly resilient to mold and pests, making it a good choice for beginner growers.
• Flowering Time: As a photoperiod strain, White Widow generally flowers in 8-10 weeks once the light cycle is adjusted. Outdoors, it typically finishes flowering in late October.
• Size: Indoors, plants tend to be compact and manageable, while outdoor plants can grow quite large under the right conditions.
• Yield:
• Indoors: Yields are generally around 18–21 ounces per square meter.
• Outdoors: Yields can reach 21-25 ounces per plant with optimal care.

Medical Benefits:

• Stress and Anxiety: Known for its uplifting effects, White Widow can help alleviate stress and anxiety.
• Pain relief: The indica component offers mild pain-relieving effects.
• Depression and Fatigue: The energetic sativa effects help with mood enhancement and combating fatigue.

Growing Tips:

• Training: Since White Widow grows with both indica and sativa characteristics, low-stress training (LST) or topping can help manage the plant’s shape and increase yields.
• Lighting: When grown indoors, ensure a proper light cycle (18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering) to maximize yield and potency.
• Nutrients: White Widow can handle moderate feeding but ensure you’re not overfeeding as it can lead to nutrient burn.
