Crystal White
Also known as: White Crystal, Crystal White OG
Crystal White Strain Overview
Crystal White is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its distinctive appearance and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2000s from California's cannabis breeding scene. Its name derives from the abundant trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance reminiscent of freshly fallen snow.
The strain features dense, resinous buds with vibrant green coloration often accented by purple and orange pistils. The heavy trichome production not only contributes to its visual appeal but also indicates high cannabinoid and terpene content. Crystal White has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its reliable performance and appealing characteristics.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Crystal White has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption preferences, and it has been used in breeding projects to enhance trichome production in other strains. The strain represents an example of the specialized breeding that occurred during the medical cannabis era in California.

Crystal White Strain Growing Information
Crystal White is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Crystal White plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches heavy with resinous flowers. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
