Black Widow Feminised Seeds

Black Widow: The OG Venom Dossier

If you want to buy Black Widow seeds in Australia, you’re buying a slice of cannabis history — one of the heavy-hitters that built the scene. She’s White Widow’s darker sister: same blood, deeper bite. I’ve run her more times than I can count, and she still catches me off guard. First she lifts you, then she melts you — the perfect post-surf comedown. That bloodline’s the real deal.

Quick Stats

She’s a 60/40 Indica-leaning hybrid, but don’t let that fool you. She kicks off like a Sativa — fast, loud, and grinning — then melts you back into your seat. She clocks around 25% THC, easy, and wraps up quick: eight, maybe nine weeks if you’re feeding right. Outdoors in Australia, she’ll be ready between late March and mid-April. Expect heavy hands, pungent earth, and that 90s hash funk that clings to your clothes.

Matty: “She’s the one that sticks to your soul. If you don’t know the Widow, you don’t know your history.” 🕷️

The Legend

Black Widow’s the kind of legend that doesn’t fade — the pheno that took the 1995 Cup and never let go. She’s White Widow’s darker twin, same sacred bloodline with a deeper, stickier bite. Breeder Shantibaba kept this version alive: a high-energy Brazil Sativa meeting a heavy South Indian Indica. One of the most stable, proven lines I’ve ever seen.

Here’s the kicker: first big trim of this pheno, the crew soaked scissors in iso for hours to get the hash off. That’s how she earned Widow status — the resin is the web.

Flavour & Aroma

On the nose: pungent earth and spicy pine — like old-school incense. You’ll smell her before you see her, so plan your air management early.

On the tongue: smooth hash and woody spice on the inhale, a clean lemon-herb flick on the exhale. Blame the myrcene for that grounded, old-world earthiness.

Matty: “Tastes like the inside of a temple hash tin — earth, musk, spice — and leaves your tongue chasing more.”

Effects & What to Expect

First wave: fast mental spark — racy if you push it — with sharp creativity and focus.

Then it settles: Sativa edge gives way to a heavy Indica unwind; shoulders drop, mood stays lifted.

Final vibe: 24–28%. Not a warning label — your benchmark. Perfect for post-session tunes or backyard sunsets when you’re half-melted, half-grinning. Don’t plan much after — she’s got her own agenda.

How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)

Skill level: Intermediate. She’s tough, but you earn the best from her.

• Training: SCROG it. Keep the canopy low and even before the early flower stretch.
• Feed: Heavy in veg; taper nitrogen hard once flowers set. Push P and K sensibly.
• Airflow: She stacks dense — keep fans honest.

Feeding & pH:
Hydro/Coco pH: 5.8–6.0 · Soil pH: 6.3–6.8

Matty: “Handle her gentle and she’ll pay you back with bulk. Skip airflow and she’ll make you pay.”

Grow Log (📅 Inside the Tent)

Here’s how she runs in my tent, week to week.

Phase / Week	Key Action	Matty’s Notes
Weeks 1–2: Seedling	Light 18/6 schedule, gentle feed, RH around 65%.	“She’s shy early on. Keep that dome humid and the medium warm — you’re building her roots, not racing her.”
Weeks 3–5: Veg	LST and topping start; canopy management is key.	“Widen her out and keep the tops even — the stretch hits fast. Don’t rush the feed, she loves steady growth.”
Weeks 6–9: Flower	Control stretch, drop RH to 45–50%, defoliate lightly.	“Week 4 is the test — she’ll try to bolt. Keep your airflow high, your fans clean, and your humidity honest.”
Week 10+: Harvest	Flush with clean water, monitor trichomes for amber.	“Trichs tell the truth — ignore calendars. Wait for that creamy amber sheen; that’s when the Widow’s web is ready.”

Bonus: If she stalls mid-week 5, she’s loading the cannon.

Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)

• Terpenes: myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene — earthy spice and pine.
• Lighting: PPFD 700–900 in peak flower; DLI 40–50.
• Training: SCROG + LST; HST okay with 48 h recovery.
• Climate: Day 24–28 °C / Night 19–22 °C; Flower RH 40–50%.
• Air: CO₂ sweet spot 1000–1200 ppm in peak flower.
• Pests: watch spider mites & PM; defol mid-flower for airflow.

⚠️ Red flag: Ignore the week 3–5 RH drop and dense buds will bite back with mould/rot.

Matty: “If you can smell spice and hear your fans working overtime, you’re doing it right.”

Mythbusting (🚫)

Myth: Black Widow is just a rebranded White Widow.
Truth (Matty): Same family, different animal — this pheno’s stickier, heavier, and yields harder.

Myth: Too late outdoors in Australia.
Truth (Matty): She’s fine in temperate/coastal zones — wrap by mid-April if you manage size.

Myth: The Widow’s cursed to herm.
Truth (Matty): Only if you’re rough. Respect her space and she stays loyal.

Who It’s For?

Not every grower’s ready for her — you’ll know if you are.

• Perfect if you: love sticky resin; want mid-tier challenge with pro-tier reward; crave old-school earth and spice.
• Maybe not for you if you: expect zero smell; hate trimming gluey buds; want a 6-week sprint (you won’t).

Matty’s Story

First time I trimmed the Widow, I thought cheap scissors would survive. Half a branch in, the blades fused shut. I scraped tar off with a pocket knife, hands black for days. The room smelled like burnt pine and sweet tar. Trouble worth keeping.

Final Verdict (🏆 Matty’s Final Word)

Black Widow isn’t just a strain — she’s a cornerstone. Power, structure, resin for days. If you want a piece of history that still hits like it’s 1995, this is the one.

Matty: “She’s the OG venom. Dark, sticky, satisfying. Grab sharper scissors.” 🍻
