Cherry Widow
Also known as: Cherry Widow Auto, Cherry Widow Fem
Cherry Widow Strain Overview
Cherry Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Dutch seed company Mr. Nice Seedbank, founded by cannabis breeder Shantibaba. The strain represents a carefully selected cross between two legendary parent strains: White Widow and a cherry-flavored indica variety. This breeding project aimed to combine White Widow's renowned potency and resin production with the distinctive sweet cherry aroma and relaxing indica characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a striking appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. Cherry Widow is noted for its balanced growth structure, making it suitable for various cultivation methods. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its well-rounded effects and appealing flavor profile.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Cherry Widow maintains a dedicated following within the cannabis community. Its development reflects the European breeding traditions of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when breeders focused on creating flavorful hybrids with reliable performance. The strain's genetic heritage ensures consistency in both cultivation characteristics and consumer experience, though specific phenotypic expressions may vary between different seed batches and growing conditions.

Cherry Widow Strain Growing Information
Cherry Widow is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants usually reach a medium height of 100-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for heavy buds, and implementing proper training techniques to maximize light penetration. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) methods.
