NYC White Widow
Also known as: New York City White Widow, NYC WW
NYC White Widow Strain Overview
NYC White Widow is a regional phenotype of the classic White Widow strain that has been cultivated and refined in New York City's cannabis community. While maintaining the core genetic profile of the original White Widow, this version has been selectively bred by local growers to adapt to indoor cultivation environments common in urban settings. The strain represents how classic cannabis genetics can evolve through localized breeding programs, though specific documentation about its exact development timeline remains limited within public records.
The strain exhibits characteristics typical of White Widow genetics with some regional variations. NYC White Widow produces dense, resinous buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, white appearance. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a compact structure, featuring vibrant green coloration often accented by orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the copious resin production that makes the buds appear almost sugar-coated, living up to the 'White Widow' namesake.
Notable features include its balanced effects and distinctive aroma profile. While the original White Widow was developed in the Netherlands by Green House Seeds, the NYC variant has been shaped by the specific growing conditions and preferences of New York cultivators. The strain has gained recognition within local cannabis circles but remains less documented than its progenitor in mainstream cannabis literature. Its existence highlights the ongoing evolution of cannabis genetics through community-based breeding efforts in different geographical regions.

NYC White Widow Strain Growing Information
NYC White Widow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, particularly suited for indoor growing environments. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks, with indoor yields averaging 400-500 grams per square meter when grown under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates, though this strain has been primarily developed for indoor cultivation. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for indoor setups with limited vertical space. Preferred growing conditions include controlled indoor environments with stable temperature and humidity levels. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
