Mr Nice Seedbank - Black Widow
A most infamous strain that since 1994 has won a number of awards, including the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1995, and has acquired acclaim from most corners of the globe - rightly so. It has a pedigree of parentage that combines a Brazilian Sativa with a South Indian hybrid. Basically, it is the original parents of White Widow changing its colors like its company. Indoors 10 weeks of flowering will be necessary to realize the immense resin production. In the northern hemisphere expect harvest around September/October, having planted as late as June. However, there is a chance that rain could reduce the expected yield. A highly recommended strain for amateur breeders - the male being preferable.
Family of breed: Brazilian sativa x South Indian Indica
as far as i remember it shantibaba was the creator of WW. now i really wish i remembered the story...the REAL white widow is supposed to be sold by him still under a different name
This is what I have found so far re: White Widow...

And yep, Mr. Nice's 'Black Widow' is supposedly the real white widow.
I have stuff that does that
fuck me. i just read some of that link you posted up there on the ww, and fuck me, i have always hated arjan, but man, this just goes to prove what a complete dick bag he is.. to say that shanti is a shit breeder, when in fact, he's probably the number one breeder on the planet, just makes him look like an even bigger asshole then we all know him to be... my god, listen to this shit..
Arjan, the owner of Greenhouse Seed Company, ex-partner of Shantibaba and self proclaimed ‘King of Cannabis’, states “Ingemar invented WW (White Widow) already in 1987 long before he was living in Holland”. Arjan posted these comments in an online tirade aimed at Shantibaba. In this tirade, Arjan accuses Shantibaba of being a talentless breeder who sells very few, if any seeds. Arjan goes on to say Howard Marks only lets Shantibaba use his name and the two have never had a working relationship. You can read his full post here. [Arjans Shantibaba Rant]
Yeh he doesnt come across in a good light does he?
he's an asshole, and to talk shit about shanti as a breeder is a complete joke as arjan don't breed shit.. he uses other people to do the breeding for him.. he's got that clown buck tooth betty or w/e his name is working for him now..
all arjan is is a used car salesman.. put's his name on anything and sells it to the public.
Everything I have read points toward him just being a marketing dude. Nothing more. As far as I can tell so far (and I may be wrong) he knows business, not breeding.
Cool, any other weird or wonderful strain related stories you would care to share?

looking for info on anything in particular??
Arjan invented cannabis when the Virgin Mary gave birth to him and granted him eternal life. Then Arjan took a shit one day, and magically HazeyGrapes and Ricky (of Ricky seeds fame) fell out of his ass. Two miracles of cannabis happened that day. Thank the heavens.
