Description
Black Widow Feminized starts as a cross of Colombian Gold, Thai, and Mexican genetics, giving this sativa-dominant plant its tropical, landrace-heavy backbone. Reported THC lands in the medium range at 16%–20%, so you get a noticeable buzz without maxing out the potency scale. CBD stays low, closer to trace levels.
Pull open a bud and you'll catch a mix of sweet, earthy, and pungent notes, almost like ripe fruit left too long near damp soil. That resin builds up fast, coating the calyxes in a way that makes the buds feel sticky between your fingers well before harvest.
Indoors, plants finish flowering in about 7 to 9 weeks (49–63 days), though some heavier-yielding phenotypes can stretch to 67 days. Yield potential runs high, up to roughly 1.8–2.1 oz per square foot indoors. Black Widow Feminized fits growers who want a manageable sativa-leaning plant they can train into a tight, productive canopy rather than letting it sprawl.
Grow info
Grow difficulty sits at medium, so this strain rewards a bit of hands-on attention but doesn't demand expert-level skill. The genetics trace back to a mix that includes Afghani landrace influence, which may lend some tolerance to wind, cold, and common plant diseases, though no strain resists everything.
Indoor growing
Black Widow Feminized grows compact and sturdy indoors, staying at an average height. Plants tend to form one strong central cola with dense side branching around it, which makes them well suited to space-saving methods. Under a 12/12 light schedule, expect flowering to wrap up in 7 to 9 weeks (49–63 days), with some high-yield phenotypes taking up to 67 days to fully ripen. Indoor yields can reach up to about 1.8–2.1 oz per square foot.
Outdoor growing
Outdoors, Black Widow Feminized develops a tall, bushy frame with long, thin fan leaves and thick side branches, so give it room to spread out. This strain can perform well in colder climates or regions with shorter summers, where good airflow may help reduce mold risk. Harvest typically lands around 65 days into flowering, putting most plants ready by early October depending on your local climate. Outdoor yield can reach up to 2.6 lbs (42 oz) per plant.
Training and plant care
This strain responds well to training started during the vegetative stage, which can help manage its final height and shape the canopy. Sea of Green and Screen of Green are both effective approaches for keeping growth even and light exposure consistent. Because side branches can carry a fair bit of weight in flower, a net trellis or bamboo canes may help keep them supported.
Flavors & effects
Flavors
Black Widow Feminized carries a smell that leans sweet and earthy, with a pungent edge underneath. Think of biting into a piece of ripe fruit that's been sitting near turned soil. That same sweet, earthy character carries through on the exhale.
Effects
Reported effects include a calming, relaxed feeling paired with an uplifting, happy mood. Some users report a reduced appetite. Effects are subjective and can vary from person to person. Since THC lands in the medium-to-higher range at 16%–20%, newer consumers may want to start with a small amount and see how it feels before taking more.
