What is the White Russian strain?

White Russian is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

White Russian is a sativa-dominant hybrid marijuana strain made by crossing White Widow with AK-47, created by Serious Seeds in the Netherlands during the 1990s. At one point in time, White Russian was considered to be the strongest weed strain in the world and won 1st place in the 'Best Overall' category at the 1996 High Times Cannabis Cup. In an independent seed comparison in the UK in which over 150 different seed strains were grown, White Russian proved to be the most potent plant of this test grow with 22% THC.

Buds of White Russian tend to be small to medium in size with bud structure more typical of sativa strains, featuring loosely-clustered, fluffy leaves that are pale green and may be moderately to thoroughly covered in frosty trichomes like parent strain White Widow. White Russian is extremely fragrant with fruity, sweet and skunky aromas, offering a complex aroma that weaves together earthy, spicy, and sweet notes with a similarly multifaceted flavor that offers a rich tapestry of tastes. This extremely fragrant plant has a flavor that is smooth and spicy with undertones of skunk and earth, combining characteristics from both legendary parent strains to create what many consider one of the most sophisticated white strains in cannabis history.
