White Widow
White Widow: meet the legendary strain that balances euphoria and relaxation perfectly. Easy to grow and super resilient, it delivers heavy harvests of resinous, potent buds. Ideal if you want energy, a good mood and a well-rounded high.
Bulk Genetics’ White Widow feminized seeds get you one of the most legendary cannabis strains at an unbeatable 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 cannabis culture that delivers outstanding results for beginners and seasoned growers alike.
It’s a tough, compact plant that can reach about 8 feet outdoors. Its classic Christmas-tree structure easily holds the weight of its heavy buds. These are large and rock-hard, covered in a thick layer of white trichomes that gives them a frosty look. That glistening coat of resin makes the buds look out of this world, a visual show nobody forgets.
Its genetics have been the backbone of 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 traits, flavor and effects
The flavor of White Widow blends earthy tones with notes of pine and a spicy kick. Its aroma calls to mind a walk through a pine forest after a light rain, with a subtle hint of spice. It’s an unmistakable profile that, once you’ve tried it, you won’t forget.
As for its effects, this strain strikes a perfect balance between heady euphoria and body relaxation. With THC between 15% and 20% and CBD usually below 1%, it’s energizing and relaxing at the same time. It starts with a euphoric high that gets the conversation and creativity flowing, followed by a gentle relaxation that won’t leave you couch-locked.
White Widow terpenes
The terpenes in this strain are behind 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: a spicy, woody terpene that adds depth to the flavor with a warm, peppery finish.
- Guaiol: notes of pine and rose, typical of relaxing, mellow strains.
- Humulene: an earthy, woody aroma that rounds out the bouquet.
- Isopulegol: a fresh, minty aroma, associated with a calm, easygoing effect.
- Neryl acetate: a floral, fruity touch with a soft, soothing character.
These terpenes not only enrich the aroma and flavor of this genetic line but also shape its balanced effect, making it an excellent choice if you want a well-rounded experience.
White Widow yield and flowering time
White Widow is known for its generous yields and relatively short flowering period. Beginners and experienced growers alike love how easy it is to grow and how big, high-quality its harvests are.
White Widow indoors
Indoors, this strain flowers in roughly 55 to 60 days. In ideal conditions it can yield up to 1.8 oz per square foot under 300–350 W of LED lighting. Methods such as SOG (Sea of Green) are a good way to maximize production and spread the light evenly, which encourages bigger, denser buds.
White Widow outdoors
Outdoors, the plant is ready to harvest between late September and early October. In a good spot with as much sun as possible, each plant can produce up to 35 oz (over 2 lb). Plants reach about 8 feet tall, which means a serious amount of resinous buds. Thanks to its tough 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’s so easy to grow. Follow a few basic tips and you’ll get the most out of it.
For the best results, grow it in a warm, sunny climate with daytime temperatures of 68–81 °F. It does very well in warm, dry climates like California’s, with slightly cooler nights of 59–70 °F. Indoors, keep temperature and humidity in check and make sure airflow is good to prevent mold.
One of the standout features of this genetic line is its resistance to pests and diseases. It’s less prone to common infestations and 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 flavor and aroma, with earthy and pine notes
What we don’t love
- Needs tight humidity control during flowering

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 lean (60% sativa, 40% indica). It combines the energizing, heady high typical of sativas with the body relaxation of indicas, so it works at just about any time of day.
What is the difference between feminized, Auto, CBD and Regular White Widow?
The feminized version (this one) depends on the light schedule and produces only female plants: the standard choice for growing buds. The Auto flowers on its own regardless of the light schedule and is ready in about 10 weeks from germination. The CBD version offers a softer effect, with more CBD and a milder high. 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 grow space. As a rough guide, indoors you can fit about 1 to 1.5 plants per square foot in a SOG setup, while outdoors each plant needs plenty of room (it can reach about 8 feet). Buying in bulk lowers the price per seed and gives you a cushion for failed germinations or picking your best plants.
Are your White Widow seeds feminized?
Yes, they’re 100% feminized, so every plant will be female and produce buds. We guarantee their quality and have been shipping orders since 2016.
Do you ship seeds discreetly?
Yes. Every order ships within the US in fully discreet packaging, with tracking and no visible reference to the contents, and shipping is free on orders over $99.
Is White Widow suitable for beginners?
Yes, it’s one of the best strains to start with. It’s tough, resistant to pests and diseases, handles pruning well and forgives rookie mistakes, while still giving high yields and a short flowering time (55–60 days indoors).
