White Poison
White Poison
Overview
White Poison is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created from a genetic cross between Durban Poison and White Widow, though some sources also list variants crossed with The White rather than White Widow. Originally bred by Five Trees, this strain emerged in the early 2010s and quickly gained recognition for delivering highly consistent genetics and well-balanced effects. The strain was developed and bred in Jamaica, representing a modern approach to combining classic landrace genetics with contemporary breeding techniques.
White Poison is classified as a heavily sativa-dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) and is known for its striking visual appearance. Each fluffy, minty green, popcorn-shaped nugget is completely coated from top to bottom in a layer of sticky resin and chunky bright white crystal trichomes, giving it a super frosted appearance. This distinctive white, crystal-like resin coating reflects its 'White' lineage heritage. With THC levels typically ranging from 22-27%, White Poison is considered a potent strain ideal for experienced cannabis consumers. The strain has gained popularity across various legal markets for its energetic effects and distinctive terpene profile that trends bright and piney.

Growing Information
White Poison can be cultivated outdoors and in greenhouses with a flowering time of approximately 42 days (6 weeks), though other sources indicate flowering time of about 8-9 weeks. The strain prefers a warm and sunny climate, thriving in well-lit grow rooms or outdoor spaces with ample sunshine and space. White Poison seeds require care and attention but reward growers with beautiful, resin-coated plants. When plants are healthy, expect generous yields of resinous, potent buds with indoor yields ranging from 1.2 to 1.5 oz/ft² and outdoor yields of 14 to 18 oz per plant. Outdoors, plants can reach 5 to 8 feet in height and yield up to 500 grams per plant by late September or early October. The strain is considered moderately challenging to grow and benefits from experienced cultivation practices.
