Chronic Widow
Also known as: Chronic Widow Feminized
Overview
Chronic Widow is a captivating indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Chronic Weed with White Widow. This balanced hybrid maintains a genetic ratio of approximately 35% Sativa and 65% Indica, which was first developed in Amsterdam, Holland by mixing these two well-known parent strains to produce a brand-new hybrid that combines their best features. Its genetic background is enriched by Northern Lights, Skunk, and AK-47 from the Chronic lineage, contributing to its robust characteristics and appealing effects, with this combination of world-renowned genetics ensuring a versatile strain with strong potency, distinctive aromas, and solid growth traits.
The buds of Chronic Widow are rock hard, soaked in resin and often have a crystalline sheen due to the amount of trichomes, appearing as if they came out of the moon and are excessively covered with resinous trichomes. The strain's flavor profile is characterized by earthy undertones accompanied by spicy notes, with its aroma being equally delightful, emitting a pungent scent that combines hints of spice with a touch of sweetness. With terpenes including Myrcene, Geraniol, Terpineol, Caryophyllene, and Phellandrene in its profile, this strain boasts a spicy, floral, sweet, woody, earthy, and herbal bouquet, with fluffy buds colored in a rich forest green, adorned with vibrant orange pistils, and glistening with crystal trichomes. Thanks to its large resin production, it is the ideal strain for the production of high quality extracts and concentrates.

Growing Information
This variety of cannabis can be difficult for farmers and amateurs to cultivate for the first time, however expert farmers claim that it can be achieved easily because Chronic Widow forgives many minor mistakes, and all can reap high-quality buds using the right growing techniques. Chronic Widow can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 65-70 days. Indoor plants typically yield 14-16 ounces per square meter and reach about 5 feet high, while outdoor plants can reach up to 6 feet tall and yield upwards of 20 ounces per plant. This large indica hybrid is perfect for growing with the Screen of Green (ScrOG) method as the plant gets big and bushy quickly, allowing growers to take advantage of that natural bushiness by spreading the branches into an even canopy. The strain thrives in a Mediterranean climate with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the day and prefers a humidity level of 40-50% during the vegetative stage, which can be lowered to 30-40% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. As plants develop heavy buds during flowering, providing support is often necessary to prevent branches from breaking under their weight using bamboo stakes, trellises, or plant yoyos.
