- Classic Dutch genetics with a legendary reputation
- Hybrid ratio of 60% indica and 40% sativa
- Suitable for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse growing
- Flowering time of about 9–10 weeks
- Up to 900 grams per plant under ideal conditions

Flavor and effects
Black Widow immediately shows its roots in the old Amsterdam school. When smoked you notice a sharp aroma with sweet undertones and a clear hint of lemon. The smell is strong and present. During flowering it can easily fill a room with its spicy and slightly sour fragrance.
The effect usually begins with a cheerful and mildly euphoric feeling. The mind feels clear while the body relaxes. After that the indica side slowly takes over. Muscles loosen and the body becomes heavy and calm. Perfect for a quiet evening or a moment when you truly want to switch off.
Growth and yield
Black Widow grows into medium-sized plants with strong branches and an open structure. During flowering the buds almost appear white because of the massive amount of resin glands. The plant develops relatively long side branches which allows it to capture plenty of light.
Indoors you can expect yields of up to around 400 grams per square meter. Outdoors this lady can become even more impressive. In good conditions a mature plant can produce up to 900 grams. Harvest usually takes place around mid-October.
Dutch-Headshop growing tips
Because of its hybrid genetics, Black Widow responds well to different growing techniques. Topping or LST helps distribute light more evenly across the side branches. This leads to more compact buds and a higher yield.
During flowering keep in mind its strong aroma. A proper ventilation system or carbon filter prevents its fragrant cloud from spreading throughout the house. Thanks to its strong genetics it is relatively easy to grow and therefore also suitable for beginner growers.
