White Widow Regular by Barney's Farm

White Widow Regular brings the patriarch of the “White” family to growers who want to work with the genetics directly. Barney’s Farm built this line from a Brazilian x South Indian landrace cross, rated 75% indica and 25% sativa, with THC around 26% and a coat of trichomes so thick the buds look almost white.

As regular seeds, a pack gives roughly equal numbers of male and female plants. That makes it a natural fit for hash makers and breeders: you can select the frostiest females as mother plants, keep a vigorous male for pollen, and use the line’s famous resin output as the foundation for new crosses.

Indoors, plants reach 100–120 cm (39–47 in) and can yield 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²) after 60–65 days of bloom. Outdoors they grow to 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and, in good conditions, can produce up to 2,000 g/plant (70.5 oz/plant).

Brazilian x South Indian Lineage

White Widow earned its reputation in the Amsterdam coffeeshop scene, and its name became shorthand for frost. Barney’s Farm credits the line to a meeting of Brazilian and South Indian landraces. Despite the tropical background, the plant grows robust and bushy, and the breeder rates it as an indica-dominant hybrid.

The calling card is resin. Buds are dense and pale green underneath, but the glands pile up so heavily that the flowers look dipped in powdered sugar. There are few leaves to trim, and the sugar leaves that remain are coated as well, which is good news for anyone collecting trim for dry sift or ice water hash.

In regular form, White Widow gives you real selection power. Run a group of females, clone each before flowering, and keep the one that combines the heaviest frost with the heaviest yield and sweetest smell. Males should be chosen for vigor and sturdy structure, then isolated so their pollen only lands where you want it.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

White Widow has a savory, instantly recognizable nose. Barney’s Farm lists the aroma as pine, earthy and pungent, with a sharp, almost ammonia-like bite on top. As the buds cure, hints of floral citrus and spice come forward and round out the bouquet.

The flavor is crisp and lively: pine and fruit on the inhale, a light citrus sweetness through the middle, and a peppery, spicy kick on the finish that tickles the throat. The overall impression is clean and bright, much like the look of the buds.

Even with its indica lean, the effect is surprisingly creative, energetic, talkative and euphoric. A strong head buzz sparks conversation and ideas, then gradually melts into a relaxed body feeling without real heaviness. It is a classic social strain for afternoons and evenings with friends.

Growing White Widow Regular Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, White Widow stays at 100–120 cm (39–47 in) and responds well to every common training method. Topping early and spreading the branches under a ScrOG net creates an even canopy of dense colas, and that is where the 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²) potential comes from. Flowering takes 60–65 days after the switch to 12/12.

Barney’s Farm highlights strong resistance to mold and pests, which makes this line a dependable choice outdoors, even in cooler climates. Plants reach 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and, given space, full sun and rich soil, can deliver up to 2,000 g/plant (70.5 oz/plant). Harvest usually falls between late September and early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
