White Widow Regular

White Widow Reg hails from the beautifully balanced genetics of resin-heavy South Indian Sativa and Brazilian Indica landraces. This Indica-leaning strain is one of the most popular and legendary of all time, winning first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1994, only a year after it was introduced. Due to its high THC content of 22%, the entire cannabis community can’t get enough of it. What’s amazing about this pot is that despite its Indica-dominant growing characteristics, the effects are strongly Sativa-like – energizing and uplifting. Its fragrance is pungent and earthy, complemented by berry notes and a generous dash of exotic spice in the background.

White Widow is an absolute gift for every newbie home grower who does not have prior knowledge or experience about marijuana horticulture. Aside from its compact size that can fit anywhere, it displays exceptional resistance to molds, pests, and diseases. 

This strain prospers in both indoor and outdoor settings, but growing it in a controlled environment like a greenhouse is highly encouraged. When it comes to the growing medium, the use of nutrient-rich, organic soil can bump up its terpene profile and overall output. Studies show that terpenes can boost THC and CBD efficacy, which is essential for its medicinal and recreational benefits.

If you are after faster growth, however, you can grow this herb in a hydroponic system. Instead of using soil to deliver the necessary nutrients, you can feed the roots directly through the water. Hence, you have better control of the plant’s nutrition and the substrate’s pH level. Even though setting it up can be costly at first, you will surely appreciate the benefits later on. The choice is yours: grow in soil or use hydroponics. Each has its pros and cons.

Since these are regular seeds, expect that 50% will grow as flowering females and the rest are pollen-producing males. Make sure to separate them from each other; otherwise, there will be fertilization between the plants you are not planning to cross. 

Indoors, White Widow Reg takes around 8 to 10 weeks to bloom completely, which is common among Indica-leaning hybrids. Outdoors, harvest begins around late October in the northern hemisphere, as this gives you time to protect your buds from early winter frost.

The best way to manage White Widow Reg indoors is to incorporate the Screen of Green (SCROG) technique. As a primer for beginners: SCROG is done by placing a net or screen above the growing medium with at least 20 cm (8 inches) allowance. Once the plant reaches up to the screen’s level, the new branches should be weaved through the holes to secure them. In short, you will train it to grow laterally and limit the height to 90 cm (3 feet).

With SCROG, you do not have to invest in too many grow lamps since only a few are enough to concentrate the light over the flat table-like canopy. For best results, prune away extraneous leaves beneath the screen during the first or second week of the flowering phase. This configuration helps expose more bud sites to light and air, allowing a larger yield. Give your plant sufficient care and attention, and it will surely reward you with a bountiful crop of up to 500 grams (18 ounces) per square meter. 

The ideal temperature for this strain is between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius (70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), while the relative humidity (RH) should be maintained around 40 to 50%.

A higher yield can be produced outdoors, as long as the climate is right. Whenever possible, place White Widow Reg in an area that is dry and temperate, like a Mediterranean environment. In the open air, it can extend up to a maximum height of 180 cm (6 feet). Grow it in organic soil and shower it with plenty of sunlight to secure a bountiful harvest of around 550 to 600 grams (19 to 21 ounces) of mouthwatering nugs per plant.

When it comes to medical applications, White Widow is thought to alleviate many psychological issues troubling the mind. Patients with depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have reported great relief from consuming this strain. This pot is also fantastic for transforming bad and difficult days with pure and steady motivation.

Though it targets more of the user’s mental concerns, its 22% THC content can still be significantly useful in managing physical conditions like migraines, arthritis, PMS, and multiple sclerosis. At the same time, it can lighten symptoms of insomnia, but it will not cause immediate drowsiness. 

Like most cannabis strains, White Widow can cause the common side effects of dry eyes and mouth. Manage these discomforts by drinking plenty of water and applying OTC eye drops whenever the eyes feel dry. 

Anyone with a history of paranoia or panic attacks should not take this pot lightly. It is not overwhelming in minimal doses, but excessive consumption can lead to dizziness, heightened anxiety, or paranoia. To prevent these severe adverse effects, ingest in small amounts and a slow manner and observe if you can handle the effects first.

Notwithstanding its Indica-dominant origins, White Widow is known more for its Sativa-like high. Ready yourself for its potency that induces an energized feeling of euphoria. It can give you a complete sense of contentment and a positive outlook. This ganja is also legendary for delivering waves of creativity that can spark innovation for tasks you never realized you could pull off. In addition, it is a favorite for stimulating deep conversations and lively discussions.

On the physical side, it creates a subtle feeling of relaxation and warmth that is not too calming and suppresses movement. Nonetheless, the predominant effects are invigorating and motivating, making it ideal for daytime use.

White Widow’s fragrance profile is dominated by pungency and earthiness. It is highlighted by undertones of fresh pine and a fair amount of mysterious spice.

As expected, the flavor is similarly punchy with a blend of dankness and woodiness, followed by a fruity aftertaste. The experience is similar to chomping down on fresh fruits with black pepper and hash-like spice in the background.

If hybrids are your thing, then you should also try Grandaddy Purple Fem. Although it carries strong Indica genes, its Sativa effects usually kick in first. Having a high THC mark of 15 to 27%, it instantly gives a euphoric mental high that can quickly put users in a positive mood. It is then followed by a gentle body buzz that starts mildly before becoming more intense. There is a high possibility of couch-lock, which is one of the major highlights of this herb. So, make sure not to commit to any other arrangements if you plan to have an evening with it.

Another similar one is Sour Skies Fem. This plant thrives best when cultivated outdoors, wherein it can get plenty of sunlight. It can grow to a towering height of 150 cm (5 feet) tall, which can be problematic in keeping it discreet. It also gives off a potent scent that can attract unwanted attention. Nevertheless, it is worth the trouble since it can yield up to 500 to 700 grams (17 to 24 ounces) of THC-rich buds per plant. Indoors, you need to install odor controllers to manage the smell.

How about Humboldt Fem? It is thought to be 50% Indica and 50% Sativa, but the plant displays predominantly Indica characteristics. For instance, it has a short and bushy structure that comes with plenty of lateral branching. Therefore, it is advisable to trim and prune its broad fan leaves to promote better air circulation and light penetration. The plant thrives well indoors and outdoors, but most cultivators favor indoor settings so they can have overall command of the system to regulate humidity levels and temperature closely. 

Don’t confuse it with Yumbolt Fem, a pure Indica. This strain’s aroma is reminiscent of a musky, earthy rainforest just after a light drizzle. The flavor complements the scent with a sudden burst of sweet and tart, freshly-squeezed lemon juice that leaves skunky and nutty notes. When growing it indoors, it is best to use the Sea of Green (SOG) technique to help maximize the space and light exposure while enhancing its productivity. Using 1000-watt HPS/LED lamps for 18 to 20 hours per day will give the best results, producing around 350 grams (12 ounces) of fruity nugs per square meter.

White Widow is a unique strain with no known aliases or nicknames. It got its name because when grown successfully, the buds are covered in a heavy coat of trichomes with a whitish-grey appearance.
