What is the Greenhouse White Widow strain?

Greenhouse White Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Greenhouse White Widow is a stabilized version of the classic White Widow strain developed and commercialized by Greenhouse Seeds, a prominent Dutch seed company. The original White Widow genetics were created in the Netherlands during the early 1990s by crossing a Brazilian sativa landrace with a South Indian indica hybrid. Greenhouse Seeds' version represents one of the most commercially successful and widely distributed phenotypes, having won multiple Cannabis Cup awards and becoming a staple in coffee shops across Amsterdam and beyond. The strain is often credited with helping to popularize high-THC cannabis in Europe during the 1990s.

The plant is characterized by its dense, resin-coated buds that appear almost white due to the thick layer of trichomes, which gives the strain its name. The flowers typically display a mix of deep green and orange pistils, with the crystalline trichome coverage being particularly notable. Greenhouse White Widow is known for its balanced hybrid effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain has become a benchmark in the cannabis industry and is frequently used as a parent strain for breeding new hybrids.

As a commercial strain, Greenhouse White Widow has been extensively cultivated and stabilized over decades, resulting in consistent characteristics across grows. It remains one of the most recognizable and requested strains worldwide, particularly among European consumers. The Greenhouse Seeds version is specifically bred for reliability, potency, and the distinctive resin production that made the original White Widow famous. While numerous White Widow phenotypes exist from different breeders, the Greenhouse version is considered one of the definitive expressions of this classic strain.

How do you grow Greenhouse White Widow?

Greenhouse White Widow is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with consistent temperatures.

Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Greenhouse White Widow responds well to training techniques like topping and SCROG (Screen of Green) to maximize yields and manage height. The strain is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase. The thick trichome coverage makes harvest timing crucial for optimal potency and flavor development.
