White Russian
Serious Seeds
Hybrid
Origins: White Widow x AK-47
Flowering: 53-63 days
Harvest: late October
White Russian combines AK-47 with the White Widow to produce a snowy plant with a pleasantly sweet aroma and a strong, clear high. It was not until much later that Serious Seeds breeder, Simon, became aware of the alcoholic cocktail by the same name.
This easy-to-grow plant works equally well in soil or hydro. Intermediate in size, White Russian is not very leafy, giving it an open canopy that makes it perfect for indoor gardening. This plant is appropriate for a sea of green method. The yield is excellent, with a normal harvest producing 35-450 grams per square meter.
The mottled green colas resemble their indica heritage in size and density, and are typically coated with light tan crystals. At maturity, the hairs turn to auburn. White Russian buds smell sweet and green, with a light undertone of skunk. The sweetness is enhanced in the flavor, although heavier like hash oil rather than lighter like flowers.
An expansive smoke, White Russian has a clear high with long duration. The effect can be complex, but tends toward wakefulness rather than sleep, and may have some trippy or spacey dimensions.
