Seb's take
Herbies Seeds USA cross the original White Widow with a Fast line, keeping every quality that earned the name its reputation while trimming the wait considerably. Woody, piney and peppery on the nose; the high is powerful and uplifting rather than subtle. 17-21% THC, and no slower than she needs to be.
Where it comes from
Herbies Seeds USA crossed the original White Widow with a Fast line, keeping every quality that earned the name its reputation while trimming the wait considerably. The record is confident she retains all that growers and smokers expect from a plant bearing this name — a staple Indica-dominant hybrid with powerful uplifting effects — and adds the one thing the original never had: genuine speed. A famous plant, brought in early.
Nose & flavour
Woody and earthy at the core, with a flowery top and a peppery, pungent edge, sharpened by a thread of pine — the classic Widow profile carried across the fast conversion intact. It is a grounded, layered nose rather than a bright one, the pepper and the pine keeping the wood company. Familiar and characterful, exactly as the name would lead you to expect.
The high
Powerful and uplifting rather than subtle — euphoric and uplifted at the outset, talkative and happy through the middle, with creative and giggly notes rounding it off. She lifts the head and keeps it engaged, sociable company in keeping with the celebrated original. A bright, good-humoured effect with genuine strength behind it; take her measure before you settle in.
Growing it
Speed is the whole premise, and the record delivers it: just 49 days in flower, which is quick work for a plant carrying this name. She stands 80 to roughly 120cm and returns a solid 397–488 g/m², at 17 to 21% THC. Between the fast finish and the medium, manageable frame, she suits a grower who wants the classic without the classic's patience. No slower than she needs to be, and every bit the Widow at harvest.
