White Chronic
Also known as: White Chronic OG, White Chronic Kush
White Chronic Strain Overview
White Chronic is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s, gaining popularity in North American markets for its potent effects and distinctive appearance. The strain is believed to have originated from a cross between White Widow and Chronic, combining the resin production and cerebral effects of White Widow with the heavy body stone and sweet flavors of Chronic. Breeders sought to create a strain with the visual appeal of White Widow's frosty trichome coverage and the reliable potency of Chronic, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid that has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and among home growers.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The most notable visual feature is the abundant coating of white trichomes that gives the strain its name, often making the buds appear dusted with powdered sugar. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lime green, with occasional purple hues appearing in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the white trichome background.
White Chronic has maintained popularity due to its reliable effects and relatively straightforward cultivation. While not as famous as some of its parent strains, it has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its balanced hybrid effects and classic flavor profile. The strain represents a successful combination of two legendary genetics, offering a modern interpretation of traditional cannabis characteristics that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.

White Chronic Strain Growing Information
White Chronic is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants exhibit a bushy structure with indica-dominant growth patterns, reaching medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. White Chronic prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants develop their characteristic heavy trichome coverage. Growers should maintain good air circulation and monitor humidity levels closely during the final weeks of flowering.
