Taste
Seb's take
Another White Widow descendant, this one leaning toward dessert — vanilla, chocolate, and sweetness where you might expect only skunk. With a modest 15% THC alongside 1–2% CBD, the effect is more medicinal than boisterous: euphoric, creative, and steady enough for daily use.
Where it comes from
White Widow needs no introduction, a cornerstone of the modern catalogue, here crossed with an unnamed Ruderalis to bring the line into autoflowering form for Pyramid Seeds. What the record singles out is the flavour: the sweet, candy-like character of the parent seems, if anything, more pronounced in the auto version. A famous name, then, made convenient, and rather more of a dessert than the original ever was.
Nose & flavour
Vanilla and sweetness lead, with a chocolate note beneath and the candy-and-caramel character the record dwells on, a dessert nose where the White Widow name might have you expecting only skunk. Softer and sweeter than her lineage suggests, and all the more moreish for it. An easy aroma to like, and a hard one to stop at.
The high
Mostly cerebral, euphoric, creative and uplifting, with a relaxing quality underneath that keeps it even. At 15% THC alongside 1 to 2% CBD it stays steady rather than overwhelming, the record noting it suits daily use. A clear-headed, good-humoured sort of experience rather than a sedating one. Sociable company, and undemanding with it.
Growing it
She flowers in a wide 50 to 70 days and stands 80 to 150cm, so give her headroom in case she reaches for the taller end. Yields sit at a generous 450 g/m², with 1 to 2% CBD alongside the 15% THC. A medium, well-mannered plant with no awkward habits, the White Widow backbone showing in her reliability. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and productive enough to reward it. A sound choice for a first autoflower.
