White Claw
Also known as: White Claw OG
White Claw Strain Overview
White Claw is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have emerged from West Coast breeding programs, potentially in California or Oregon, where it was developed to combine potent effects with distinctive visual appeal. While not as historically documented as some classic strains, White Claw has established a presence in both medical and recreational markets, particularly among users seeking a well-rounded experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either indica or sativa dominance.
The strain's name likely references its distinctive appearance, which features dense, resinous buds covered in a thick layer of white trichomes that resemble frost or claws of ice. The buds typically display a complex color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The visual presentation is one of White Claw's most notable characteristics, making it easily recognizable to experienced consumers. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, reflecting its hybrid genetics.
White Claw's genetic background contributes to its balanced effects profile and complex aroma. The strain produces medium to large yields under proper cultivation conditions and has gained particular attention for its resin production, making it potentially suitable for extraction purposes. While not considered a rare strain, White Claw maintains a consistent presence in markets where it's available, appreciated for its reliable performance and appealing combination of visual characteristics and effects.

White Claw Strain Growing Information
White Claw is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. 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 but prefers a controlled indoor setting or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
