i bought this weed in the Netherlands, for some reason this weed/bud has the smell of strong weed but then it turns in to smooth fruity
Blackcurrant (in my home country:Latvia this is popular berries to grow, and harvest) smell, but smoking it tastes like regular weed maybe a small glimpse of fruitiness, but not too much for me.

i had an old w widow and it had a realy nice earthy mildewy berry flavour if i remember right. and the yellower you could make it before harvest the better it tasted. most beautiful purple casted yellow leaves you ever saw.

I just had an early test smoke of Seedsman White Widow fem. Very sweet fruit/candy smell during flowering but also hints of pine and citrus. There's just something yummy about White Widow. I haven't grown WW in ten years but the last time it was from Dutch Passion and I remember it having this smell and taste. In my mind this is what authentic White Widow smells like.
The smoke was remarkably smooth considering it hasn't even started curing yet. In a few weeks this stuff will be amazing.

I can’t explain the smell or flavor. Ran original white widow from Oregon elite seeds? Maybe it’s Oregon greenhouse brand. Something like that. I hate the smoke. Smell is noxious to me.

I know what white rhino smells like. I remember white widow being very similar.

2 main components:

1. Rotten/fermenting citrus/lemony sweet. maybe like rockstar or one of those potent energy drinks. Hawaiian fruit seems to sum it up also.
2. Skunky/pungent/spicy.

the fermenting sweetness with the standard skunky smell is how its best described. I remember it going around in 99 in upstate NY, it was never fully cured, still squishy in the bag, not coated in trichomes the way a lot of strains are now, and very likely, how those strains finish now after all the years of breeding.

I'm growing a romulan and I smell it... romulan was mixed with white rhino when it was back crossed and im almost disappointed, it smells just like white rhino.

White Russian got blackcurrant phenos maybe its that i never smelled berry like aromas in the original ww i have in dutch passions thats got lemony phenos too again fuck knows why cos the original widow wasnt very fruity a lil but more pungent bittersweet earthy piney almost minty but imo its taste was good but you didnt smoke it for flavour its not that kinda weed to me was the sheer effect that made it what it was hence why people still after the original now

With so many different versions/recreations White Widow is going to be all over the map as far as characteristics are concerned. Some versions are not going to have any resemblance to the original.

I have some Brazilian and South Indian genetics. If I cross those can I call it White Widow? That's what many seem to be doing these days. Maybe taking the same genetics can lead to something better than White Widow or something less. But it will never be the original White Widow. Which is why most people are just growing a name rather that a strain. That includes most any strain these days. Lots of copies out there of everything. Some have no resemblance to the original.

Would be except what most dont know is the south indian in white widow is a hybrid from all i can gather from a indian farmer supposedly not straight South indian course if you think about it makes sense think how long south indian ganja strains take to bloom vs widow even original release i never seen a plant that took longer than 12 13 weeks and not like most Brazilian strains are fast either

White rhino is a classic. Brings back so many memories, that weird sour/sweet fruitiness is a staple from white family I think... enjoy the high

Absolutely. It was my first time trying it and I m usually huge on flavor and effects, I dislike the flavor, but the effects are so good its become an instant favorite.

I love classic strains, right now White Rhino, Cinderella 99, Super Lemon Haze and NYC Piff are all in my rotation

Get some og NL. AK Bean Brains sells it, 89 NL. The buds are like round, baby pinecones, light/almost turquoise color, frosty and squishy. White Rhino is squishy like that also if its not over cured. Or it was back in the day. G13 is another special wonder, if you get the right one. Light & Dark leaves, dark, bright red hairs. the highs from the old school stuff are notably different, depending on various factors of course..
