History of White Widow

The origins of White Widow are somewhat mysterious, but it is widely believed to have been first cultivated in the Netherlands in the early 1990s. The strain is thought to be a cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and an indica from Kerala, India. This hybridization resulted in a strain known for its potency and rich resin production, which quickly caught the attention of both cannabis enthusiasts and growers. White Widow’s resin-rich buds made it especially popular for cannabis extracts. The strain became renowned for its powerful effects, blending the uplifting cerebral high of sativa with the relaxing body buzz of indica. Over the years, White Widow has been selectively bred and crossed with other varieties, resulting in numerous phenotypes and variations. Today, White Widow remains a top choice for cannabis users and cultivators worldwide. Royal Queen Seeds’ version of White Widow is based on the original genetics, with careful selection of White Widow S1 genetics to preserve its classic characteristics.

Ingredients of White Widow

White Widow’s primary ingredients are cannabinoids and terpenes, which contribute to its powerful effects and distinct aroma. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the dominant cannabinoid in this strain, responsible for its potent psychoactive effects. With THC levels ranging from 18-25%, White Widow delivers a powerful high that starts with an energetic mental buzz and transitions into a soothing body relaxation. The CBD (cannabidiol) content is low but still plays a role in balancing the effects, helping to mitigate anxiety or an overly intense high from the THC. Terpenes are also crucial to White Widow’s profile. It has a distinctive earthy and woody aroma, with hints of citrus and pine. Key terpenes include limonene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Limonene offers a citrusy scent, pinene provides a piney aroma, and caryophyllene contributes a spicy, peppery note. Together, these terpenes enhance the sensory experience and complement White Widow’s potent effects.

Warning

White Widow contains high levels of THC, and its effects can be intense. It is important to consume responsibly and be mindful of your tolerance. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding cannabis use.
