Overview
Blue Widow is a meticulously bred hybrid cannabis strain resulting from crossing two legendary parent strains: Blueberry and White Widow. Originally created by Dinafem Seeds, this strain represents a harmonious fusion of genetics that combines the best qualities of both lineages. Blue Widow exhibits balanced genetics with varying reports of its indica/sativa ratio, ranging from 50/50 to 60% sativa/40% indica composition, making it a versatile strain suitable for diverse user preferences. The strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, being a standard menu item in Amsterdam coffee shops and North American dispensaries, winning 1st prize in the Best Outdoor division at the 2015 Copa Cannabis Cup in Uruguay and placing 3rd at the 2013 Treating Yourself Expo Cannabis Cup in Toronto. Blue Widow produces visually stunning buds that display vibrant shades of blue and purple, particularly when grown in colder conditions. The buds are typically dense and compact, adorned with a generous coating of frosty trichomes and long orange hairs, creating an impressive bag appeal that attracts both recreational and medicinal users.

Growing Information
Blue Widow is considered easy to grow and suitable for beginners. Indoor cultivation typically yields 450-600g/m² with plants reaching heights of 120cm after 8 weeks of flowering. Outdoor growing can produce exceptional results with yields exceeding 1000g/plant and heights reaching 200cm or more. The strain has a relatively early harvest time, ready for outdoor harvest by early October, with flowering time typically ranging from 7-9 weeks (50-55 days). Blue Widow demonstrates excellent resistance to pests, diseases, and mold, making it remarkably adaptable to various growing conditions and climates. The strain thrives in Mediterranean-like conditions with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day, slightly cooler nights, and humidity levels around 40-50%. Indoor growers should invest in robust ventilation and high-quality LED grow lights, while outdoor cultivation requires well-draining soil and sun-drenched locations.
