White Widow x Critical
Also known as: White Widow Critical, White Critical
White Widow x Critical Strain Overview
White Widow x Critical is a hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of two legendary parent strains: White Widow and Critical. This combination brings together White Widow's balanced hybrid genetics and resin production with Critical's high yield potential and fast flowering characteristics. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a plant that maintained the desirable effects of White Widow while improving cultivation efficiency and yield.
The strain typically produces dense, resin-coated buds with a frosty white appearance reminiscent of its White Widow parentage. The flowers often display a mix of light green and purple hues, with abundant orange pistils weaving through the compact bud structure. The trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the buds a sparkling, crystalline appearance that contributes to both the strain's name and its potency.
White Widow x Critical has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators due to its balanced effects and reliable growing characteristics. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, it represents a successful hybridization that preserves many of White Widow's classic qualities while incorporating practical improvements from the Critical lineage. The strain is widely available through multiple seed banks and has become a staple in many hybrid collections.

White Widow x Critical Strain Growing Information
White Widow x Critical is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. It produces high yields of dense, resinous buds, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor yields of 500-600 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering due to the weight of the colas. The strain responds well to training techniques like SCROG and topping.
