Widow Shocker
Also known as: Widow Shock
Widow Shocker Strain Overview
Widow Shocker is an indica-dominant F1 hybrid cannabis strain developed by New420Guy Seeds breeder Scott Sedita. Created by crossing Shock Trauma with a Black Widow heirloom strain, this medicinal variety exhibits a balanced yet untested CBD/THC ratio with high levels of both cannabinoids. The strain represents a fusion of therapeutic genetics, combining the sedative properties of Black Widow with the medicinal benefits of Shock Trauma. Widow Shocker is characterized by its very large bud structure that tends to stretch significantly unless properly managed through manicuring and cropping. The strain produces substantial, resinous buds that are well-suited for SCROG (Screen of Green) growing methods, delivering dense, trichome-covered flowers. The aromatic profile begins with a skunky initial draw that transitions into flowery aromatics inherited from its Shock Trauma mother, followed by pungent, smooth fuel-like flavors that reflect its complex genetic heritage.

Widow Shocker Strain Growing Information
Widow Shocker is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a flowering time of approximately 65-80 days depending on environmental conditions. The strain is particularly well-suited for SCROG growing methods due to its tendency to stretch and produce large bud structures. Plants require early manicuring and cropping to prevent excessive stretching. The variety produces great big fat hairy buds with substantial yields when properly managed. Growing difficulty is considered moderate, requiring attention to training and pruning techniques. Plants can grow quite tall and benefit from support structures for the heavy, resinous buds.
