Viuda Blanca
Also known as: White Widow, Viuda Blanca CBD
Viuda Blanca Strain Overview
Viuda Blanca is a cannabis strain developed by Venus Genetics in the mid-1990s, representing their interpretation of the legendary White Widow genetics. This strain has gained considerable reputation in the cannabis community for its medicinal properties and high resin production. The strain comes in two main phenotypes: a traditional THC-dominant version (18-20% THC, 1.2% CBD) and a specialized CBD version (9% THC, 10% CBD) developed for medicinal use. Venus Genetics created this strain to offer growers access to classic White Widow characteristics at an affordable price point while maintaining the quality and potency that made the original famous.
Viuda Blanca exhibits typical indica-dominant hybrid characteristics with a 65% indica and 35% sativa genetic composition. The plants display robust growth patterns with wide, dark green leaves during vegetative growth, resembling a Christmas tree structure. During flowering, the strain shows its sativa heritage by stretching considerably and developing long, thin buds that become heavily coated with trichomes. The strain is known for producing exceptional amounts of resin even on fan leaves, making it highly valued for extraction purposes. Cultivation is considered moderately easy, with plants adapting well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though support may be needed during late flowering due to heavy bud development.

Viuda Blanca Strain Growing Information
Viuda Blanca is considered moderately easy to cultivate and adapts well to various growing conditions. Indoor flowering time is approximately 65 days (9 weeks), with outdoor harvest typically occurring in early to mid-October. Indoor plants reach heights of 0.6-1.2m and can yield 400-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can grow 1.5-3m tall and produce 350-450 grams per plant. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems. During flowering, plants stretch significantly and may require support structures like stakes or wires to handle the weight of resin-heavy buds. The strain shows good resistance to pests and fungi, though preventive treatments during vegetative growth are recommended. Training techniques can help maximize light penetration and yield.
