White
Also known as: The White, White S1, Triangle
White Strain Overview
White, often referred to as 'The White,' is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that gained prominence in the early 2000s, primarily within the Florida medical cannabis community. Its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated and shrouded in mystery, contributing to its legendary status. The most widely accepted lineage traces it back to a phenotype of Triangle Kush, a Florida native strain, though some speculate it may involve genetics from strains like 'The White Widow' or other undisclosed parents. The strain's name is derived from its distinctive appearance: the buds are densely coated in a thick layer of crystalline trichomes, giving them a stark, white, frosty look that is immediately recognizable.
The strain is celebrated for its powerful effects and unique aesthetic. The buds are typically compact and chunky, with a color palette of deep greens often punctuated by vibrant orange pistils, all nearly obscured by the prolific trichome coverage. The aroma is complex, often described as a blend of earthy, piney, and fuel-like notes with a subtle citrus or lemon undertone. Its flavor profile upon consumption tends to mirror this, offering a smooth yet pungent smoke that is both earthy and slightly sweet.
White is known for its balanced yet potent effects that lean slightly indica-dominant. It delivers a strong, cerebral onset that is often euphoric and uplifting, followed by a deeply relaxing and sedative body stone. This makes it a favorite among experienced users seeking significant relief. Its high resin production has also made it a popular choice for concentrate and extract makers. Due to its potency and specific growth patterns, it is considered a strain best suited for cultivators with some experience.

White Strain Growing Information
White is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks. The plant tends to stay relatively short to medium in height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor grows, though controlled indoor environments are often preferred to maximize its potential. It prefers a stable climate without extreme humidity to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure. Yield is typically average to above average. A key consideration is its nutrient sensitivity; it requires careful feeding to avoid nutrient burn. Its exceptional trichome production makes it a prime candidate for hash and concentrate production.
