Katsu Seeds Description

In the pantheon of cannabis legends, White Widow stands as a mythic figure—an enduring symbol of the 1990s cannabis renaissance. First cultivated by Green House Seeds in Amsterdam, this hybrid quickly rose to global prominence, becoming the gold standard for what a balanced strain could achieve. With its origins shrouded in lore, White Widow is the offspring of a Brazilian sativa landrace and a resinous South Indian indica, a union that birthed one of the most iconic strains the world has ever seen.

From the coffee shops of Amsterdam to the underground scenes of North America and beyond, White Widow carved its reputation as a strain for everyone. In the Netherlands, it dominated menus, becoming a rite of passage for cannabis tourists. Across Europe and Asia, it was revered for its potency and unparalleled resin production, cementing its status as a staple in the cannabis world.

White Widow didn’t just win hearts; it won competitions. It took home 1st Place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1995, an achievement that catapulted it into stardom. Over the years, it continued to rack up awards, earning praise for its well-rounded effects, unparalleled resin production, and timeless appeal. Even decades later, it remains a frequent nominee and winner in cannabis competitions, proof that legends never fade.

White Widow’s appearance is nothing short of spellbinding. Its buds are cloaked in a glittering layer of trichomes so dense they seem to glow under the light. This frosty coating gives it the “white” in its name, a dazzling spectacle that growers and users alike can’t resist admiring. Beneath this crystalline layer lies a vibrant green canvas punctuated by fiery orange hairs—a visual masterpiece.

White Widow’s scent is a dance of earthy pine and zesty citrus, with just a whisper of spice. Its flavor mirrors this aromatic profile, delivering a smooth herbal inhale that transitions into a peppery, slightly sweet exhale. It’s a flavor profile that remains as fresh and inviting as it was when it first hit the scene.

Known for its 60:40 indica-to-sativa ratio, White Widow offers the best of both worlds. It kicks off with a cerebral rush—an electrifying wave of euphoria and creativity that energizes the mind. As the high deepens, a soothing body relaxation takes hold, creating a balanced experience that’s as versatile as it is potent. Perfect for everything from socializing to solo introspection, White Widow adapts to its environment, making it a favorite for nearly every occasion.

White Widow’s influence can be found in the genetics of countless strains, such as White Russian, White Rhino, and Blue Widow. It’s not just a strain; it’s a legacy—a living testament to the golden age of cannabis breeding. As it continues to inspire new generations of growers and users, White Widow remains an enduring symbol of excellence in cannabis culture.

As you all know, I am a huge fan of the old classics and the White Widow is near the top of my list of classics. I had originally planned to do a retro reproduction (F3’s) based off of the original line, but a LONG-HUNTED clone of the ’98 Aloha White Widow magically came into my possession, and I decided to make some fems first. Over the years, I have smoked a number of the 98 AWW crosses but I’ve never gotten my hands on the original. From all that have, however, she is one of the great representations of White Widow and I made an executive decision to bump her to the head of the line. While I don’t have a lot of familiarity with the background of the ’98 Aloha White Widow, this is what I was able to put together scouring the Internet. To the best of my ability, it is factually accurate and forgive me for any mistakes.

’98 Aloha White Widow is a renowned phenotype of the classic White Widow strain that has become legendary in Hawaii’s cannabis culture. Its origins trace back to 1998 on the Big Island of Hawai’i, when a Canadian cannabis enthusiast visiting the island exchanged seeds with local growers. This exchange led to the cultivation of a unique strain that thrived in Hawaii’s tropical climate and met the specific needs of local cultivators.

During this period, Hawaiian growers faced significant challenges due to Operation Green Harvest, a government initiative aimed at eradicating cannabis cultivation. The program’s aggressive tactics forced growers to adapt by seeking strains that could be easily concealed within the dense tropical flora and were resistant to mold caused by the high humidity. ’98 Aloha White Widow, with its compact size and resilience, became an ideal choice for these conditions.

Over time, ’98 Aloha White Widow acclimated to the diverse microclimates of the Big Island, resulting in several distinct phenotypes: Candy Widz (Sweet Thang): This phenotype is light green and heavily frosted with trichomes, offering a sweet flavor profile and a potent, uplifting high. Dirty Widz (Puna Widow or Death Widz): Characterized by a darker hue and a strong, musky diesel aroma, this phenotype provides a heavier, more sedative effect, making it popular among growers in the Puna district. Garlic Widz (Garlic Buddaz or Garlicz): Noted for its distinctive skunky garlic aroma and flavor, this rare phenotype leans more indica, delivering a relaxing and inebriating experience.

The strain’s adaptability and potency have solidified its status alongside other Hawaiian cannabis legends like Maui Wowie and Kona Gold. Its rich earthy taste, accented with notes of hash, diesel, and skunk, combined with its immediate euphoric and relaxing effects, have made ’98 Aloha White Widow a staple in Hawaii’s cannabis scene.
