Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Blueberry and berry over a pungent, sweet earth base — White Widow's contribution is the compact, resin-heavy structure; Blueberry's is everything on the nose. The high is relaxed, happy, uplifted and euphoric, giggly enough at the edges that the name reads more like marketing than warning.

Where it comes from

G13 Labs made Blue Venom from two names that hardly need introduction, White Widow and Blueberry. The division of labour is clean and the breeders spell it out: White Widow supplies the compact frame and the solid, resin-heavy buds, while Blueberry hands over everything on the nose. The name promises menace; the parentage promises a fruity, frosty, well-behaved hybrid. On this occasion I would trust the parentage over the branding.

Nose & flavour

Blueberry and berry up front, sweet and ripe, over a pungent, earthy base, the Blueberry parent doing the pleasant work and the White Widow lending a little weight beneath. It carries more than it whispers, but the fruit stays in charge throughout. A generous, straightforwardly appealing nose.

The high

For something called Venom the effect is remarkably genial, relaxed, happy, uplifted and euphoric, with a giggle running through it. Whatever bite the name implies never quite arrives; at 18 percent THC this is sociable, good-humoured company rather than anything to be wary of. The menace, it seems, was purely for the label.

Growing it

She finishes quickly, in around 55 days, and the White Widow in her keeps the frame compact and the buds dense and resinous. The record gives no square-metre figure, but it does record an outdoor return of 1100g per plant, a considerable haul that speaks to how heavily she loads given room and light. No height is set down, so I will leave that to your own tent; what is certain is a fast flower and a productive one.
