About White Widow
White Widow rose to fame in the 1990s and has been a benchmark strain ever since, celebrated for its striking frosty appearance and balanced profile. As a CBD hemp flower it keeps that heritage while being bred to be high in CBD and very low in THC. Find our White Widow CBD flower in the shop.
Why is it called White Widow?
The name comes from its appearance. White Widow is coated in such a dense layer of white, crystalline trichomes that the buds can look almost frosted white. That heavy trichome coverage is its signature and a big part of its enduring appeal.
Aroma and flavour
White Widow is known for a fresh, earthy and subtly floral aroma with a hint of spice, clean and classic rather than sweet or heavily fruity. It is a well-rounded profile that has stood the test of time. To learn how these aromas form, see our guide on CBD flower aroma and flavour.
Appearance
As the name suggests, White Widow buds are exceptionally frosty, dense and green beneath a heavy blanket of white trichomes. It is one of the most visually recognisable strains there is.
Indica, sativa or hybrid?
White Widow is a balanced hybrid, which is part of why it has been so widely loved. For more on those labels, read indica vs sativa vs hybrid CBD flower.
