Welcome to my Legendary Marijuana Strains series of posts where I feature some of the greatest marijuana strains on the planet. All the marijuana strains I post here I've tried and stand behind.

From Leafly:

Among the most famous strains worldwide is White Widow, a balanced hybrid first bred in the Netherlands by Green House Seeds. A cross between a Brazilian sativa landrace and a resin-heavy South Indian indica, White Widow has blessed every Dutch coffee shop menu since its birth in the 1990s. Its buds are white with crystal resin, warning you of the potent effects to come. A powerful burst of euphoria and energy breaks through immediately, stimulating both conversation and creativity. White Widow’s genetics have given rise to many other legends like White Russian, White Rhino, and Blue Widow. Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors.

From Wikipedia:

White Widow is a Cannabis strain developed in The Netherlands and known for its abundance of white trichomes, high potency,[1] and resinous nature.[2] Induces happy, euphoric cerebral buzz that stimulates creativity, boosts socialization and increases energy levels. May cause paranoia, headaches, dry mouth and eyes. Has excellent analgesic properties. Relieves stress and nausea.[3]

The variety won the Cannabis Cup in 1995.[4][5][6] White Widow grown in Amsterdam is known to contain up to 20% of the active ingredient THC. White Widow buds are covered in trichomes, giving it an almost snowy look. As of late as 2011, it sells for approximately 8 Euros per gram in The Netherlands.[7] In San Jose and Colorado Springs, it is available from dispensaries for Medical Marijuana patients for $8 US per gram.[8] White Widow is a compact plant of medium height. The buds only develop a few amber-colored hairs, but the high crystalline resin production of this plant has become well known. White Widow is a strain that is relatively easy to grow to an experienced horticulturalist, especially in Europe because of its resistance to mold and colder climates. The original White Widow was created using a pure Sativa land race from Brazil[4] and was pollinated by an Indica-hybrid from southern India. The White widow has been used a lot to breed new strains of cannabis during the last decades. One of the most famous example is the White Rhino strain.[9]
