White Castle
White Castle
Overview
White Castle is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created by Nirvana Seeds through crossing two legendary strains: White Widow and Ice. Developed as an F1 hybrid, this strain was designed to combine the social, uplifting effects of White Widow with the dense structure and resin production of Ice. The resulting cultivar addresses the structural weaknesses of White Widow by incorporating Ice's stronger branching and overall plant architecture, while maintaining the desirable effects and flavor profile that made White Widow famous.
The strain is characterized by fluffy, light green buds with sparse orange pistils and a thick coating of bright white crystal trichomes that give it its name. White Castle produces a well-balanced experience that begins with euphoric, social effects including increased chattiness and happiness, followed by relaxing body effects that can lead to sleepiness if consumed in larger quantities. The flavor profile is notably sweet, dominated by fresh strawberry notes with underlying pine and earthy tones, making it particularly enjoyable when vaporized. Medical patients often seek out White Castle for its reported pain-relieving properties and its effectiveness in treating insomnia, stress, and depression.
