Red Widow Strain

The White Widow is one of the most well-known strains all over the world. It gained fame for its heavy trichome production that coats buds in a thick white cast and impressive yields. Not to mention, it delivers stimulating effects that invigorate users from head to toe.

Majority of its offspring usually sport the same snowy coat of trichomes. However, Red Widow does not. It has a redder tone to its sticky resin as a result of its golden and rustic hairs. It gained this feature from Red Dragon, an exotic Sativa-leaning strain with extremely potent effects that can green users out. However, in moderation, its high is a pleasant sociability.

Growing

Red Widow, as a hybrid, exhibits both Sativa and Indica qualities. It is relatively tall with branches that are thick enough to withstand the weight of its heavy buds. It also has notable resistance against various growing conditions such as high levels of humidity and the onslaught of strong winds. It makes for an impressive outdoor growing strain, but there are many who prefer cultivating it outdoors.

Growers can take advantage of its relatively compact structure by planting at least four seeds in a single square meter in a Sea of Green setup. Pruning is necessary for this setup as the dense foliage will stunt air circulation and light distribution in the lower nodes. For the Screen of Green, a screen must be placed above the current canopy. As the plant grows, one must weave the branches into the screen. It keeps Red Widow short while ensuring that each budding site absorbs adequate amounts of light for growth. Regardless of one’s choice, both growing techniques will increase yields.
