Platinum White
Also known as: Platinum White OG, White Platinum
Platinum White Strain Overview
Platinum White is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the medical and recreational cannabis communities for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is generally believed to be a cross between Platinum Kush and The White, two highly regarded indica-dominant strains. This lineage combines the relaxing properties of Platinum Kush with the potent resin production and cerebral effects of The White, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid that appeals to both indica and sativa enthusiasts.
The strain is particularly noted for its striking visual characteristics. Platinum White buds typically display a frosty white appearance due to an exceptionally dense coating of trichomes, which gives the plant a "platinum" or silvery sheen. The buds are often dense and compact, with deep green foliage and occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. Orange pistils provide contrast against the pale trichome-covered surface, creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance that has contributed to the strain's name and reputation.
Platinum White has become a favorite among cultivators for its resin production and among consumers for its balanced effects. The strain typically produces effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. Its popularity has led to its inclusion in various breeding programs, though the original genetics remain somewhat obscure and multiple variations may exist under similar names in different markets.

Platinum White Strain Growing Information
Platinum White is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
