White Heat
Also known as: White Heat OG
White Heat Strain Overview
White Heat is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain combines genetics from classic parent strains to create a versatile cultivar known for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. While its exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis historians, most sources agree it represents a carefully selected cross between prominent parent strains that have been stabilized over multiple generations.
The strain's name derives from its visual characteristics and reported effects. White Heat typically produces dense, resinous buds covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the flowers a whitish appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size with a compact structure, displaying various shades of green accented by occasional purple or orange pistils. The abundant trichome production contributes to the strain's potency and makes it popular among concentrate producers.
White Heat has gained recognition for its reliable performance and consistent effects profile. It has become a staple in many dispensaries across legal markets, particularly appreciated by users seeking a balanced experience that combines physical relaxation with mental stimulation. The strain's stability and predictable growth patterns have also made it a favorite among cultivators looking for consistent results.

White Heat Strain Growing Information
White Heat is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants usually reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy colas may need staking.
