HYBRID
Black Widow is an Indica-leaning hybrid of Brazilian and south Indian landraces that was originally cultivated by breeder Scott Blakey -- aka Shantibaba -- under the name White Widow. When Blakey and breeder Howard Marks -- aka Mr. Nice -- left Green House Seed Company in the late 1990s, they changed the name to Black Widow to distinguish their plant from White Widow strains sold by other seed banks.
Grow Information
Today -- as noted by its Dutch seed bank, Mr. Nice Seeds -- Black Widow is an easy-to-grow plant that offers decent yields of frosty, resinous buds in a 56-70 day flowering period. It was a 1st Place winner at the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup. The seed bank recommends indoor, hydroponic, or greenhouse growing. Growers should expect vigorous development of resin frost and a strong aroma during the final weeks of flowering. Both regular and feminized Black Widow seeds are available from Mr. Nice.
