Blue Widow is a 60/40 Sativa Dominant Hybrid and is a cross between the famous White Widow and Blueberry strains. Blue Widow offers the balanced experience of a classic hybrid with a mix of both cerebral and calming effects. Medical patients have reported that Blue Widow is both soothing and uplifting without being overwhelming, while also effectively relieving a variety of symptoms. Blue Widow can be an ideal strain for an introduction to the world of hybrid strains due to its relatively mild THC content.
Blue Widow is a cross between two legendary cannabis strains, Blueberry and White Widow. This combination of spectacular genes from both the West Coast and the Netherlands created a well balanced and popular cannabis strain. Blue Widow was bred by Dinafem Seeds, a world class seed bank and breeder based in Spain. This strain also has a popular ‘sister phenotype’ called “Berry White.”
When compared to many other hybrid strains, Blue Widow has a medium THC content, typically between 12%-16%. Its CBD content is very low and negligible at less than 0.1%.
Medical patients report this strain to be helpful in alleviating symptoms such as neuropathic pain, loss of appetite, and insomnia. It also has been reported to help with headaches, migraines, palliative care and muscle cramps. Blue Widow can also help chemotherapy and radiation patients be more comfortable during and after treatment because of its anti-nausea properties. Medical patients may appreciate this strain if they are looking for symptom relief, while remaining alert and focused.
The effects of Blue Widow can feel more like an Indica Dominant Hybrid experience, despite its relatively balanced hybrid genetics, as it leaves you with a calming and relaxing body high. The sativa effects of Blue Widow stimulate the mind and uplift your mood, while providing a euphoric and focused energy.
Common side effects include dry eyes and dry mouth, while more adverse reactions usually involve an overconsumption of THC and can result in feelings of anxiety and paranoia.
Blue Widow can be consumed at any time of the day, however the balance of relaxation and focus means you can make productive use of your time. When it comes to more focused activities like work, reading and studying, the medium THC content of Blue Widow can help in the retention of information and task oriented activities.
The aroma profile of Blue Widow is a combination of the intense sweet and sour smell of White Widow, with the fruity and berry aroma of Blueberry. Together these impeccable genetics give Blue Widow a fruity bubble gum flavor when grown correctly. Notes of sweet blueberry and herbal earthiness give this strain a well balanced flavour and taste.
Blue Widow does best in hot and temperate climates outdoors or in a simulated environment indoors. The flowering period finishes between 8-9 weeks and you can expect a higher yield than average, making this an ideal cannabis strain for all levels of growers. Outdoors, Blue Widow can reach a height of up to 3m, so when cultivating indoors it is important to give the plants enough space to grow properly. Indoor harvests yield on average between 350-450 g/m² and outdoor plants can achieve an amazing 800 grams per plant! When cultivated outdoors the harvest should be ready at the end of September or early October. Blue Widow is fairly resistant to common pests, as well as diseases like mold and mildew. When exposed to colder temperatures this strain takes on a bluish purple hue, due to its Blueberry lineage.
