The White Giant
Also known as: White Giant
The White Giant Strain Overview
The White Giant is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing The White, a phenotype of the legendary White Widow known for its exceptional trichome production, with an unknown indica-dominant strain that contributed to its substantial size and robust growth characteristics. This combination resulted in a plant that lives up to its name in both appearance and stature.
The strain is characterized by its impressive visual presentation, featuring dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving the flowers a frosted white appearance. The leaves exhibit deep green hues with occasional purple undertones that may emerge under cooler growing conditions. The White Giant produces a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine-forward notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice, creating a distinctive sensory experience.
While not as widely documented as more mainstream strains, The White Giant has maintained a niche following among cultivators who appreciate its combination of visual appeal and potent effects. The strain's relative obscurity means that specific historical documentation is limited, and different phenotypes may exist under the same name. Its cultivation characteristics and effects have been primarily preserved through grower communities rather than large-scale commercial breeding operations.

The White Giant Strain Growing Information
The White Giant is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and can reach considerable heights, often exceeding 6 feet outdoors. Indoor growers should expect plants to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, requiring adequate vertical space and possibly training techniques. Outdoor cultivation is recommended in Mediterranean or similar climates with a long growing season, with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October.
Yields are generally generous, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 600 grams or more per plant. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though it prefers stable environmental conditions. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation due to the density of the buds. The White Giant's substantial trichome production makes it particularly susceptible to mold in humid conditions, requiring careful environmental control during late flowering.
