White Widow Feminized – Green House Seeds
Green House Seeds’ feminized White Widow is, without exaggeration, the strain that changed the history of commercial cannabis. Created in 1994 (by Shantibaba, Arjan’s partner at the time—see Mr. Nice and his Black Widow in our blog post on the history of White Widow), it is the result of a cross between a Brazilian Sativa (Mango IBL) and a South Indian Indica hybrid (Kerala).
The history of “White Widow” is tied to its incredible resin production, so much so that it literally appears white at the end of flowering.
According to Leafly and Seedfinder, it was the overall winner of the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup and remains one of the best-selling and most imitated strains in the world for its reliability and consistent potency.
Growing Characteristics: The Resin Machine
Technically, feminized White Widow is extremely versatile. It flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, but outdoors it truly expresses its giant potential, producing up to 900g per plant in optimal conditions. It has a bushy structure that responds very well to SCROG (Screen of Green).
It is a hardy plant, resistant to pests and moderately tolerant to temperature changes. Its buds are renowned for their density and the incredible layer of trichomes that cover them, making it a benchmark for the production of premium hashish.
Terpene Profile: Pine, Wood, and Floral Notes
The terpene profile of the original White Widow is clean and pungent. Pinene and Myrcene dominate, providing an aroma of fresh pine, cedar, and a slightly spicy floral undertone. It lacks the sweetness of modern strains, but has a “fresh” and pungent scent that cleanses the palate.
Analysis on ICMag confirms that its smoke is one of the cleanest and most recognizable, with an earthy finish that has become the standard for describing great Dutch classics.
Effects: The Standard of Social Euphoria
With a THC content of 20% to 25%, White Widow’s effect is legendary for its balance. It offers an instant energy boost, plenty of talkativeness and euphoria, followed by a physical relaxation that doesn’t impede movement. It’s the perfect weed for social situations, creativity, or simply enjoying an active evening.
Despite the genetics’ age, in 2026, Green House Seeds’ White Widow continues to dominate the best dutch coffee shops and private gardens around the world for its clean potency and guaranteed yield.
