Description
White Widow Regular comes from crossing Kerala with Manga Rose, the pairing that made her the queen of Amsterdam coffee shops in the 1990s. She carries an indica-dominant structure with reported THC in the 14%-18% range on Nirvana's own data, though third-party retailers list her higher, up to around 22%. As a regular strain, she produces both male and female plants, giving growers the option to select phenotypes or save pollen for breeding projects.
Her buds come snow-capped in trichomes, a trait that made her a benchmark for resin production. Break open a bud and musky, floral aromas emerge with woody overtones.
Indoors, she stays short and stocky with little stretch during flowering, finishing around 4-4.5 ft. Flowering takes about 8-10 weeks. Yield potential runs around 450-550 g/m² indoors.
Grow info
White Widow Regular is straightforward to grow and well suited to beginners, thanks to her easy-going indica heritage and resistance to mold and pests. Because this is a regular strain, growers will need to identify and remove male plants before flowering if seed-free buds are the goal, unless pollen is wanted for breeding.
Indoor growing
Indoors, she stays low profile with very little stretch once flowering begins. She grows one main central cola surrounded by short side branches, making her a good fit for commercial setups, hash makers, and extract artists. Indoor yield can reach up to about 1.8 oz per square foot.
Outdoor growing
Outdoors, she performs well even in challenging climates, resisting mold and pest pressure. Plant in spring in a large container or directly in the ground, with plants reaching around 47-55 inches tall. Outdoor yield can reach up to around 26.5 oz per plant, with harvest in mid-to-late October.
Training and plant care
Her open canopy structure makes her a good candidate for tying down, topping, and pruning. Extended vegetative time encourages a bushier plant with a larger canopy of buds. Growers working with regular seeds should check plants closely as flowering begins to spot and remove males early.
Flavors & effects
Aroma and flavor
White Widow carries a slightly pungent, spicy aroma with musky, floral, and woody undertones. The flavor delivers spiced fruit notes that mellow into an earthy hash-like finish.
Effects
Reported effects include an uplifting, clear-minded, and motivated feeling, often described as alert without heaviness. Given her reported THC range of 14%-18% (with some sources citing up to 22%), newer consumers may want to pace themselves between doses. Effects are subjective and can vary from person to person.
