White Widow Seeds

White Widow Feminised Seeds: The Original Knockout Queen

If you’re looking to buy White Widow seeds in Australia, you’re not chasing a trend — you’re backing a benchmark. G’day legends, Matty here. White Widow isn’t just a famous strain; she’s the genetic measuring stick that modern hybrids are still judged against. Balanced, brutally reliable, and coated in frost like someone tipped a bag of icing sugar over the buds, she’s been knocking growers sideways since the mid ’90s — and she hasn’t softened with age.

Quick Stats

White Widow is a true 50/50 hybrid delivering a dependable 18–22% THC, with standout phenos pushing higher under dialled conditions. She finishes in 8–9 weeks indoors and typically comes down late April outdoors across most Australian regions (May in warmer zones). Indoors, expect ~450–500 g/m² of dense, resin-loaded flower. Flavour leans classic: pine, earth, spice, and a clean citrus snap on the back end.

Matty: “She’s the classic for a reason — keep the air moving and she powders up like a snow globe. Miss airflow late and autumn will chew through her faster than a possum in a veggie patch.”

The Legend

White Widow was developed by Scott “Shantibaba” Blakey during his time at Green House Seed Company, blending a Brazilian sativa landrace with a South Indian indica. She stormed the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup and went on to parent an entire dynasty — including White Rhino and White Russian.

The name came from the visual alone: buds so caked in trichomes they look snowed over. Funny twist? The breeder was Melbourne-born — which might explain why Widow handles Australian conditions with such calm confidence.

Matty: “Back in Amsterdam, if a coffee shop didn’t have Widow, you knew they were bluffing.”

Flavour & Aroma

On the grind: Sharp pine with a warm, peppery edge.
In the room: Damp forest floor after rain — earthy and unmistakable.
On the palate: Pine up front, gentle sweetness mid-smoke, then a clean citrus-spice exhale.

Matty: “That old-school funk tells you straight away — she’s not mucking about.”

Effects & What to Expect

• First Wave: Bright, heady lift with clear focus and easy conversation.
• Then It Settles: A relaxed body weight rolls in — push it and she bites back.
• Final Vibe: Proper lounge lock with a grin still on your face.

Matty: “I went in thinking brainstorm, came out with one page of notes and a two-hour couch cruise.”

How I Grow White Widow

Difficulty: Beginner-friendly, but still rewarding when dialled.

Structure: Compact, stocky, dense — perfect for tighter tents.

Training: LST or SOG opens the canopy and evens the frost.

Airflow: Non-negotiable late flower. Dense buds + humidity = trouble.

Matty’s pH Focus (For Maximum Frost)

White Widow’s claim to fame is resin. That only happens when the root zone stays calm.

• Soil / Coco: 6.2–6.5 (lean toward 6.2 late flower)
• Hydro: 5.8–6.0 rock-solid

Advanced Grow Notes

• Key Terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene
• EC: 1.4–1.6 early flower → peak ~1.8
• PPFD: 900–1000 in peak bloom
• Late Flower Climate: 22–25 °C / RH 40–50%
• RED FLAG: RH over 50% in weeks 7–8 invites botrytis

Final Verdict

White Widow isn’t just a strain — she’s the ruler every hybrid still gets measured against. Balanced, resilient, and unapologetically frosty, she proves that classics don’t fade — they keep winning quietly.

Matty’s Final Word: “If you want her heavier cousin, check White Rhino. But if you want the original frost queen — Widow still runs the show.”
