DP White Widow Strain Overview
DP White Widow is a stabilized version of the classic White Widow strain developed by Dutch Passion, one of the Netherlands' oldest and most respected cannabis seed banks. This particular phenotype represents Dutch Passion's interpretation of the original White Widow genetics, which first gained international fame in the 1990s after winning multiple Cannabis Cup awards. The strain was bred to maintain the legendary characteristics of White Widow while offering greater consistency and reliability for both growers and consumers.
DP White Widow is characterized by its dense, resin-coated buds that appear almost white due to the heavy trichome coverage, giving the strain its 'widow' name. The plants typically display a balanced structure with moderate internodal spacing and dark green leaves that may develop purple hues in cooler temperatures. The buds are compact and solid, with orange pistils weaving through the frosty surface. This strain is particularly noted for its exceptional resin production, making it popular among hash and concentrate producers.
Dutch Passion's version emphasizes the strain's genetic stability while preserving the distinctive effects and flavor profile that made White Widow famous worldwide. The breeder has worked to maintain the original characteristics while improving cultivation traits, resulting in a reliable version of this classic strain that remains true to its heritage while offering modern growing advantages.

DP White Widow Strain Growing Information
DP White Widow is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and are typically 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 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean climates outdoors. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. DP White Widow responds well to training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and topping, which can help maximize yields. The plants are relatively resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation, especially during the final flowering weeks when bud density increases.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (20-26°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent bud rot. The heavy resin production makes this strain particularly susceptible to powdery mildew if ventilation is inadequate. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
