What it is

White Widow: the plant that looks white from so many trichomes. One of the best sellers in the world.

Where it comes from

It appeared in holland in the mid-90s, from a brazilian Sativa and a south indian Indica. It won the Amsterdam cup in 1995 and defined an era in the coffeeshops.

Sweet, resinous and earthy. Balanced effect: it starts in the head and ends up relaxing.

The seed bank promises up to 350 g per plant indoors and 580 g outdoors, with everything perfect. Selling price: good. The seed costs US$ 14.

Difficulty: very easy. In the game, the harder it is, the easier pests take hold (on a hard one, almost double compared to a very easy one) and the seed costs a little more. Watering, feeding and climate mistakes damage the same in all of them. The hard ones usually yield fewer grams, but they sell for more. "How it's grown" comes from the real strain; in the game its ▲▼ and its traits count (resists fungi or pests, suffers heat or cold).
