White Widow
White Widow: discover the legendary strain that combines euphoria and relaxation in perfect balance. Easy to grow and highly resilient, it delivers abundant harvests of resinous, potent buds. Ideal if you want energy, a good mood and a well-balanced high.
White Widow feminised seeds from Bulk Genetics give you one of the most legendary cannabis strains at the best price. This icon was born in Amsterdam in the '90s, from a cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and a South Indian indica. With a 60% sativa and 40% indica balance, White Widow is a cornerstone of the cannabis world that delivers outstanding results for novice and expert growers alike.
It is a robust, compact plant that can reach up to 2.5 m outdoors. Its elegant, fir-like structure easily supports the weight of its abundant buds. These are large and rock-hard, covered in a dense layer of white trichomes that gives them a snowy look. That glistening coat of resin makes the buds look out of this world, a visual spectacle that leaves no one indifferent.
Its genetics have been used as the basis for countless hybrids. Beginners love it for its simplicity and veterans for its top-shelf harvests. Like other great classics such as Skunk #1 or AK 47, it always delivers, indoors or out.
White Widow characteristics, flavour and effects
The flavour of White Widow blends earthy tones with notes of pine and a spicy kick. Its aroma brings to mind a walk through a pine forest after light rain, with a subtle hint of spice. An unmistakable profile that, once tasted, is impossible to forget.
As for its effects, this strain strikes a perfect balance between cerebral euphoria and body relaxation. With THC between 15% and 20% and CBD generally below 1%, it offers a mixed experience that is energising and relaxing at the same time. It starts with a euphoric high that sparks conversation and creativity, followed by a gentle relaxation that won't leave you couch-locked.
White Widow terpenes
The terpenes in this strain are responsible for its signature aromas and much of its effect. The main ones are:
- Alpha-pinene: fresh pine aroma, associated with a clear-headed, focused high.
- Beta-caryophyllene: spicy, woody terpene that adds depth to the flavour with a warm, peppery finish.
- Guaiol: notes of pine and rose, typical of relaxing, mellow strains.
- Humulene: earthy, woody aroma that rounds off the bouquet.
- Isopulegol: fresh, minty aroma, associated with a calm, serene effect.
- Neryl acetate: floral and fruity touch, widely used in aromatherapy for its relaxing character.
These terpenes not only enrich the aroma and flavour of this genetic line but also shape its balanced effect, making it an excellent choice if you are after a well-rounded experience.
White Widow yield and flowering time
White Widow is known for its generous yields and relatively short flowering period. Novice and experienced growers alike value this strain for how easy it is to grow and for its abundant, high-quality harvests.
White Widow indoors
Indoors, this strain flowers in roughly 55 to 60 days. Under optimal conditions it can yield up to 550 grams per square metre under 300–350 W LED lighting. Methods such as SOG (Sea of Green) are recommended to maximise production and ensure even light distribution, encouraging bigger, denser buds.
White Widow outdoors
Outdoors, the plant is ready to harvest between late September and early October. In a suitable spot with as much sunshine as possible, each plant can produce up to 1000 grams. Plants reach up to 2.5 m tall, giving a substantial amount of resinous buds. Thanks to its robust genetics it resists pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for growing outdoors.
How to grow White Widow
White Widow is a strain we recommend to beginners and experienced growers alike because it is so easy to grow. Follow a few basic tips and you will get the most out of it.
For the best results, grow it in a warm, sunny climate with daytime temperatures of 20–27 °C. It adapts very well to Mediterranean climates, with slightly cooler nights of 15–21 °C. Indoors, keep temperature and humidity under control and make sure ventilation is good to prevent mould.
One of the standout features of this genetic line is its resistance to pests and diseases. It is less prone to common infestations or diseases, making it a reliable option if you want a hardy, high-yielding plant.
What we love
- Generous, high-quality yields
- Easy to grow, ideal for beginners
- Resistant to pests and diseases
- Relatively short flowering time
- Unmistakable flavour and aroma, with earthy and pine notes
What we don’t love
- Needs strict humidity control during flowering
- Can grow quite tall outdoors, so it needs plenty of space

Frequently asked questions
What customers ask us most about White Widow.
Questions about shipping, payment or guarantee?
See our help page
Is White Widow sativa or indica?
White Widow is a balanced indica–sativa hybrid with a slight sativa dominance (60% sativa, 40% indica). It combines the energising, cerebral high typical of sativas with the body relaxation of indicas, making it versatile for any time of day.
What is the difference between feminised, Auto, CBD and Regular White Widow?
The feminised version (this one) is photoperiod-dependent and produces only female plants: the standard choice for harvesting buds. The Auto flowers on its own regardless of the photoperiod and is ready in about 10 weeks from germination. The CBD version offers a softer effect, with more CBD and less psychoactivity. The Regular version produces males and females and is designed for breeders who want to make their own crosses.
How many White Widow seeds should I buy?
It depends on your growing space. As a rough guide, indoors you can fit 9 to 16 plants per square metre in a SOG set-up, while outdoors each plant needs plenty of room (it reaches 2.5 m). Buying in bulk lowers the price per seed and gives you a margin for failed germinations or plant selection.
Are your White Widow seeds feminised?
Yes, they are 100% feminised, so every plant will be female and produce buds. We ship them with guaranteed quality and have been shipping orders since 2016.
Do you ship seeds discreetly?
Yes. All orders are shipped in fully discreet packaging, with free, tracked delivery, quickly and with no visible reference to the contents.
Is White Widow suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is one of the best strains to start with. It is robust, resistant to pests and diseases, handles pruning well and forgives growing mistakes, while keeping high yields and a short flowering time (55–60 days indoors).
