Wacky Widow
Wacky Widow Strain Overview
Wacky Widow is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, a prominent Dutch seed bank. The strain was created by crossing the legendary White Widow with an undisclosed sativa-dominant parent, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both lineages. This cross aimed to enhance White Widow's already impressive resin production while introducing more cerebral effects and a unique flavor profile. Wacky Widow emerged during the late 1990s or early 2000s as part of Dutch Passion's efforts to expand their White Widow genetics, though it has remained less commercially prominent than its famous parent.
The strain produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a frosty white appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The nugs typically feature bright green coloration with occasional orange pistils, creating a visually striking contrast. Wacky Widow's aroma combines earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor profile delivers a smooth smoke with hints of spice and sweetness. The strain's name reflects its tendency to produce somewhat unpredictable, 'wacky' effects that can vary between relaxing and stimulating experiences.
Wacky Widow is known for its relatively short flowering time and manageable growth characteristics, making it suitable for cultivators with some experience. The plants maintain a moderate height and respond well to various training techniques. While not as widely documented as more mainstream strains, Wacky Widow has maintained a niche following among enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and connection to the White Widow lineage. Its genetic heritage ensures reliable resin production, though potency can vary between phenotypes.

Wacky Widow Strain Growing Information
Wacky Widow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, responding well to techniques like topping and low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate support during late flowering due to heavy colas. The strain is relatively resistant to common pests and diseases.
