Gipsy Widow Strain Overview
Gipsy Widow is a balanced 50/50 hybrid cannabis strain created by Exotic Seed through the careful crossing of two distinct White Widow phenotypes. This modern reinterpretation of the legendary 1995 Cannabis Cup winner White Widow combines one indica-leaning phenotype with dense flowers and fast flowering characteristics, and a more sativa-dominant phenotype with longer flowering times and higher resin production. The strain was developed to capture the classic potency and resin production of White Widow while adding structural and flowering flexibility for modern cultivation needs.
The plants exhibit typical indica behavior during vegetative growth but stretch considerably during the flowering phase, creating flowers that bind together to form long, dense buds that become increasingly compact as they mature. This growth pattern often necessitates support canes by the end of flowering. Gipsy Widow produces light-colored, compact buds with massive central colas and exceptional resin coverage reminiscent of its White Widow heritage. The strain is noted for its resistance to mold and mildew, making it a hearty choice for growers, though it requires adequate nutrition as it tends to be a heavy feeder.

Gipsy Widow Strain Growing Information
Gipsy Widow is considered extremely easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors (56-65 days) with harvest occurring in early October for outdoor grows. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 80-100cm while outdoor plants can stretch to 1-2.1 meters. Expected yields are impressive, with indoor grows producing up to 600g per square meter with 9 plants, and individual plants capable of yielding 8.3 ounces under 315W CFL or up to 1 pound under 1000W HPS lighting. The strain requires medium to high nutrient levels and benefits from defoliation techniques due to its tendency to bush out extensively. Support structures are recommended during late flowering due to heavy bud development.
