Cookies x Widow
Also known as: Cookies Widow, Cookies x White Widow
Cookies x Widow Strain Overview
Cookies x Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain resulting from crossing the famous Girl Scout Cookies (often shortened to Cookies) with the legendary White Widow. This cross combines two of the most influential strains in modern cannabis genetics, bringing together the potent cerebral effects and complex flavor profile of Cookies with the balanced, resinous characteristics of White Widow. The exact origin of this cross is somewhat uncertain, as multiple breeders have created similar hybrids, but it gained popularity in the 2010s as part of the 'Cookies' family expansion.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, conical buds that display a striking appearance. The flowers often showcase deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a thick coating of milky-white trichomes that give the buds a frosted appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The combination of genetics results in a plant that maintains the vigor and resin production of White Widow while incorporating the distinctive terpene profile of the Cookies lineage.
Cookies x Widow is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The high THC content makes it a potent choice for experienced consumers. Growers appreciate this strain for its relatively straightforward cultivation compared to some pure Cookies varieties, while maintaining the desirable characteristics of both parent strains. The exact phenotype expressions can vary between different breeders' versions of this cross, leading to some variation in effects and appearance.

Cookies x Widow Strain Growing Information
Cookies x Widow is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. 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 but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants produce abundant resin, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
