A sativa dominant hybrid, Black Widow has won several awards, including Number One at the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup. It is a dark deviation of its older sibling White Widow and is a cross between the Brazilian sativa and a South Indian indica, a combination that rewards the user with an intimidating 24% average THC level and a high that will both delight and put to sleep.
Black Widow’s buds are super-dense, bright green and are speckled with fine purple and orange-red hairs, abundant in resin, and frosted with trichomes. The aromas it gives off are of the fruity nature, and also a bit skunky.
The onset is fast, wonderfully intense and blissful. It provides an exceptional head high with remarkably intense euphoria, powerful happiness, deep relaxation, and a major case of the munchies. As great as these effects are, Black Widow can also cause dry eyes and mouth, as well as dizziness, paranoia, and minor headaches. Its potent intensity can overwhelm novice users and potentially trigger panic attacks.
This powerful strain is well-suited for the treatment of depression, physical pain, muscle spasms, headaches, and everyday stress. It’s also perfect for inducing hunger in patients suffering from eating disorders. Because Black Widow induces feelings of laziness and sleepiness, it is recommended for evening use.
Black Widow is best grown indoors or outside in a greenhouse. When grown indoors, it requires eight to ten weeks to flower, and is ready to harvest at the end of September /early October when grown outdoors.
For those who can tolerate the venom of the wicked Black Widow, then euphoria and pure bliss awaits.
