These seeds produce strong, healthy, fast growing plants that are fantastic in appearance and effect. Very popular also for outdoor growing in Spain, France, Italy and California. This variety is our most typically Indica strain. White Russian is a stable cross of our original AK-47 and the famous award-winning clone of White Widow from the 90s. She is of medium height, developes into consistent ‘not too leafy’ plants and produces dense, very resinous flower tops (crystals start to appear after about 5 weeks of flowering). The plants smell quite strong during the growth and flowering period. In an independent seed comparison in the UK in which over 150 different seed strains were grown, the White Russian came out as the strongest plant. Winner of the overall High Times Cannabis Cup in 1996 and of the Cup for Best Bio Grass in 1997. The plants yield very powerful buds, coated with an abundance of resin. The effect is a very strong, long lasting High, which is more cerebral (=head-high) than it is a knockout (=body-stoned). Excellent medicinal plant for pain-relief. Last awards won by White Russian: 1st prize Indoor, El Punto Cup 2005, Málaga in Spain and 2nd prize Extracts, Highlife Cup 2013, Amsterdam.
Strain FAQ
What genealogy do many white strains share?
Many white strains are derived from White Widow, a 1990s Dutch hybrid. White Widow set the high potency and effects profile criteria for numerous white strains, affecting the genetics of many hybrids.
Why has the Cannabis Cup moved from Amsterdam?
The Cannabis Cup began in Amsterdam in 1988 and has now expanded to the US, Canada, and Jamaica. This global extension has followed the larger cannabis markets as cannabis legalisation changes throughout the world.
What are the benefits of feminised seeds?
Feminised seeds almost assure full female production, simplifying the growth process. Since male plants aren't removed, this efficiency saves space, water, and waste. A smarter, more sustainable method!
How significant is cold resistance for strains ending in October?
Cold resistance is significant for strains ending in October, as they need to withstand late October's cold temperatures. These cultivars have been specifically bred to have bigger leaves and denser buds to help them withstand the cold conditions.
How have Central Asian strains acclimated to high altitude?
These strains, from Afghanistan's highlands and Kazakhstan's steppes, can withstand cold winters and hot days. This makes them adaptable to various different climates.
