The name comes from the buds densely coated in white trichomes — a resin production with few rivals. **In 1995 White Widow won the Cannabis Cup** and became the benchmark for the entire industry. More than 30 years later, it's still one of the most sought-after strains worldwide. For the full story and all variants, see our White Widow guide. Pyramid Seeds cultivates this line with a focus on **even internodal spacing**, a **predictable terpene profile** and a stable THC window of **20–22%** — the reference White Widow for consistent results. ## White Widow THC level The **THC level of White Widow** is **20–22%** — remarkably high and consistent for a classic 50/50 hybrid. This stability is the result of decades of selection: no phenotype roulette, predictable potency in every grow. Beginners should start carefully with low doses. ## White Widow effects: how does it feel? The **White Widow effect** is two-phase and typical of a balanced hybrid: - **Euphoric, clear onset** — the mind wakes up, a sociable and creative mood - **Physical relaxation** — without heavy couch-lock at moderate doses - **Stress relief** — ideal for the end of the day, reduces tension - **Creativity and focus** — many users report heightened creativity - **Sedating effect** — at higher doses, supports sleep **How does White Widow feel** compared to pure indicas or sativas? As a 50/50 hybrid it delivers the best of both worlds — without the extreme sedation of an indica or the over-activation of a sativa. That makes it the most versatile strain in the classic canon. ## Aroma and terpene profile The aroma profile of **White Widow** has been a signature since the 1990s: earthy-spicy, woody, with a resinous sweetness and a slightly fresh finish. Especially attractive for extraction thanks to its exceptional resin production. Terpene | Typical impressions | Contribution to the profile **Myrcene** | Earthy, musky, sweet | The base of the relaxing body effect — the classic indica terpene **Caryophyllene** | Spicy, peppery, warm | The characteristic spice, anti-inflammatory properties **Pinene** | Fresh, pine-like, clear | A fresh finish, supports mental clarity and focus ## Growing — indoor and outdoor ### Indoor growing Flowering time **60 days** (LED: 53 days). Yield: **500 g/m²** standard, up to **800–850 g/1.5 m²** with a 720 W LED. Very well suited to **SCROG** and **LST** — compact growth with plenty of side shoots. Keep humidity below 50% in late flowering — dense buds are prone to botrytis. ### Outdoor growing Harvest in **late September** in the northern hemisphere — ideal for temperate climates. **0.5–1.5 kg** per plant. Tolerant of moderate humidity swings; good airflow brings dense, frosty buds. ## White Widow Fem vs Auto White Widow: a direct comparison | White Widow Fem | Auto White Widow **Seed type** | Photoperiod | Autoflowering **THC** | 20–22% | 20–23% **Flowering** | 60 days (from flip) | 65 days (from germination) **Yield indoor (LED)** | 800–850 g/1.5 m² | 700–750 g/1.5 m² **Yield outdoor** | 0.5–1.5 kg/plant | 70–200 g/plant **Light switch needed** | Yes (12/12) | No **Multiple harvests/year** | Limited | ✅ Yes ## When to choose Fem, when Auto? Choose **White Widow Fem** if: you want maximum yield (up to 1.5 kg outdoor), you're an experienced grower, and you prefer full control over the vegetation period. Choose **Auto White Widow** if: you want several harvests per year, grow outdoors without timing stress, or are a beginner. ## White Widow family — all variants - **Auto White Widow** — autoflowering, 65 days, 20–23% THC - **White Widow CBD** — balanced CBD/THC profile, gentle effect - **Auto White Widow CBD** — autoflowering CBD version - **American Pie** — Power Plant × White Widow, fruity profile - **Nefertiti** — Black Widow × White Widow Browse related categories Feminized Seeds European Strains Frequently asked questions about White Widow seeds **How does White Widow feel?** The White Widow effect is two-phase: a euphoric, clear head effect followed by a pleasant physical relaxation. At moderate doses it stays functional and creatively stimulating; at high doses it becomes sedating. Ideal for the end of the day and stress relief. **How much THC does White Widow have?** The White Widow THC level at Pyramid Seeds is 20–22%, with a low CBD content. That places it among the stronger classic strains with a balanced hybrid profile. **What's the difference between White Widow and White Widows?** "White Widows" is usually an alternative spelling or plural form — it refers to the same strain. Our feminized White Widow seeds are photoperiod and ideal for controlled indoor and outdoor growing. **How long is White Widow's flowering time?** 60 days indoors — as little as 53 days under LED. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, White Widow ripens in late September — one of the shortest flowering times among the classic hybrid strains. **Why is it called White Widow?** The name refers to the buds densely coated in white trichomes — a resin production that has made this strain famous since the 1990s. The "white widow" is named for the look of its crystal-covered flowers. **Is White Widow indica or sativa?** White Widow is a balanced 50/50 hybrid — neither clearly indica nor sativa. The effect reflects that: an initial sativa-leaning euphoria and creativity, followed by indica-leaning body relaxation. **Is there a White Widow autoflower too?** Yes — Auto White Widow flowers with no light schedule in 65 days from germination and is ideal for fast harvests without light management.
