Lineage & Origin of White Widow Fem Strain
White Widow Fem is a globally celebrated strain that burst onto the cannabis scene in the 1990s, created by Dutch breeders by crossing a South American Sativa Landrace with a South Indian Indica Landrace. With up to 25% THC, this sativa-leaning hybrid (60% Indica, 40% Sativa) delivers cheerful, uplifting effects wrapped in earthy, spicy aromas. White Widow won the Cannabis Cup in 1995 and continues to be a classic strain that both new and seasoned growers adore.
