The strain library
A familiar name, with a story behind it. Explore the reported origins of White Widow and learn how to separate its history from individual seed specifications.
Historical and lineage details are attributed to Green House Seed Company.
Behind the name
Four short chapters connect the breeder’s account, the strain name and the information that belongs to a specific product.
Green House Seed Company describes its White Widow as a cross of Brazilian and South Indian varieties. That is the breeder-attributed lineage used in this profile.
Attribution matters: a source can document its own offering without establishing that every product sold under the same strain name is identical. Keep the breeder, variety name and specific seed label together when reading a description.
Green House Seed Company records White Widow winning the Bio category at the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup. This gives the name a specific historical reference in the breeder’s account.
An award is historical context, not a specification for a present-day seed pack. It does not establish the contents, availability or measurements of a product listed elsewhere.
Feminized, regular and autoflower describe characteristics separate from a strain name. Seeing White Widow in an index does not, on its own, tell you which of those labels applies.
Use the category links below to understand the terminology. Confirmed variants will need individual source information; this page does not present an unverified choice as an available product.
A familiar name is not a laboratory result. Research reported by the University of Colorado Boulder found that common commercial cannabis classifications do not reliably describe chemical composition.
We therefore keep this profile separate from potency figures and promises about personal effects. The credited photograph is identified as White Widow by its source; it does not verify a particular breeder or seed product. This page is not a review based on testing a supplied product.
This page is an introduction to White Widow, with clearly attributed background information. A breeder’s history, a reference photograph and a strain name do not replace a specific supplier record.
The profile focuses on attributed history and documented context. Chemical measurements belong to identified samples and are not inferred from the strain name.
A name and its labels
A documented example identifies its source and the characteristics actually described. These category guides explain the labels; they are not a list of confirmed White Widow variants.
White Widow FAQ
White Widow is a cannabis strain name. This profile uses Green House Seed Company’s published account for its lineage and historical background, and distinguishes that source from a verified product listing on this site.
Green House Seed Company lists Brazilian and South Indian parent varieties for its White Widow. This is a breeder-attributed description, not a claim that all same-named products have independently verified identical genetics.
No. White Widow is a strain name; feminized is a seed label. The name alone does not specify whether an individual offering is feminized, regular or autoflowering.
This historical profile does not report a laboratory analysis of a particular sample. A figure from other material would not establish the composition of the subject described here.
This is an informational strain profile with attributed history and a reference photograph. The linked guides explain the terminology used alongside the name.
