White Widow is a balanced hybrid strain of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa[1][2][3] that was created and developed by Scott Blakey Aka Shantibaba when he co-owned the Greenhouse Seed Company[4][5][6][7][8]. White Widow is a cross between a Brazilian sativa strain and a resin-heavy South Indian indica. The buds are white colored, with a crystal resin. Users experience a powerful feeling of euphoria and energy breaks. White Widow is one of the most famous strains around the world.[9]
