Pink Widow
Pink Widow Strain Overview
Pink Widow is most commonly reported as a cross that includes White Widow on one side and a 'Pink' parent such as Pink Kush on the other, resulting from crosses by breeders like De Sjamaan Seeds. This modern hybrid is celebrated for its candy-sweet bouquet, frosted resin coverage, and occasional blush-pink pistils that justify its name, with growers and consumers treating it as a balanced day-to-evening cultivar delivering an energetic lift followed by a serene body exhale. The strain's photogenic pink pistils correlate with genetics and environment, with cooler night temperatures in late bloom—often 18–19°C—encouraging anthocyanin expression, most visible on pistils and sometimes sugar leaves.
Originally bred in the Netherlands in 2007, Pink Widow is not recommended for indoor growing and can reach over 10 feet in height outdoors. 'Pink Widow' is not a single, breeder-locked cultivar, as phenotypes and cannabinoid/terpene outputs vary by seed source and propagation clone, with potency varying significantly between batches. The strain presents as a 65/35 hybrid that's appropriate for new cannabis users, with the appearance of a classic Purps strain featuring a richly purple indigo aesthetic. Pink Widow produces large, sturdy plants that yield fat, resin-covered purple flowers.
