White Widow is a hybrid (balanced) cannabis strain with a sweet pine, earthy spice, light floral funk profile, 18-25% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene. It is best known for first-time experienced-smokers, classic balance, the dinner-then-movie evening, with effects setting in medium, 5 minutes, classic balanced euphoria. Terp Bros NYC stocks White Widow-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
White Widow is typically reported as a hybrid (balanced) experience: first-time experienced-smokers, classic balance, the dinner-then-movie evening. Onset is medium, 5 minutes, classic balanced euphoria. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
White Widow is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, which together produce the sweet pine, earthy spice, light floral funk aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Myrcene
In White Widow specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Pinene
In White Widow specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Caryophyllene
In White Widow specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Lineage + Genetics
White Widow traces back to Brazilian sativa landrace crossed with South Indian indica, with a documented origin story rooted in Netherlands, early 1990s by Green House Seed Co, won 1995 Cannabis Cup. The flowering time runs 8-10 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
the classics-shelf hybrid, older customers who learned to smoke in the late 1990s still ask for White Widow by name. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try White Widow in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is White Widow a daytime or evening strain? Daytime-leaning. White Widow's terpene profile (myrcene + pinene) reads more alert than restful. For a quieter, heavier evening profile, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options.
Does White Widow cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. White Widow contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of White Widow? White Widow typically tests in the 18-25% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is White Widow safe for first-time cannabis customers? White Widow is a balanced hybrid that works for first-time customers as long as the dose is conservative. Start with a single inhale or a 2.5mg edible, and ask a budtender about the current batch's THC percentage before deciding on format.
