This most infamous plant needs no introduction. It is the original White Widow with the parentage coming from a Brazilian Sativa mated to a South Indian hybrid. The name was changed to Black Widow when Shanti brought over his genetics to his new company, Mr. Nice. A winner of many awards as well as the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1995, Black Widow is known for its incredible resin production. This sweet smelling, vigorous plant is sought after for its breeding capability as well, with the males being especially valued. Indoors, expect 10 weeks of flower to realize the immense resin production. To maximize yield outside, harvest her before the serious rains set in.
