Double White
Also known as: Double White Widow
What is the Double White strain?
Double White is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
Double White is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that is widely recognized as a phenotype or enhanced version of the legendary White Widow. Its exact origin is somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is generally accepted to have been developed by breeders aiming to intensify the resin production and psychoactive effects of its famous parent. The strain emerged in the late 1990s to early 2000s, capitalizing on the global popularity of White Widow, and has since become a staple for cultivators seeking high yields of trichome-covered flowers.
The plant is characterized by its dense, compact buds that are heavily frosted with white, crystal-like trichomes, giving the flowers a snowy or 'white' appearance that justifies its name. The leaves are a vibrant green, often accented with subtle orange or rust-colored pistils. The aroma is a complex blend of earthy, woody notes inherited from its indica lineage, with sharp, spicy, and sometimes slightly sweet undertones. When cultivated, Double White is known for its robust structure and resilience.
Notable features include its exceptionally high resin production, making it a favorite for concentrate and hash production. The strain's balanced genetic profile results in effects that are both cerebrally uplifting and physically relaxing, though it tends to express a slightly more indica-dominant influence in its later stages. Its popularity endures due to its reliable potency, distinctive appearance, and versatile effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic contexts.

How do you grow Double White?
Double White is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to be of medium height, making it manageable for indoor setups, but it can also thrive outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with a long growing season. Indoor yields are typically high, often reaching 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams or more per plant.
