Critical White Widow: two European classics in an indica with a fruity, floral aroma
Critical White Widow by Black Elephant Genetics crosses Critical with White Widow, the hybrid born in the Netherlands that owes its name to the white layer of resin covering its flowers. Critical provides the structure and the productive capacity; White Widow brings that abundant resin and a more delicate fragrance. The result is an indica-dominant feminized strain (70% indica / 30% sativa), compact and sturdy indoors, that flowers in 55 days and unfolds a fruity, floral aroma rarely found in the Critical family.
Why choose Critical White Widow
✓ Feminized: all plants are females, with no need to check the grow for males.
✓ Indica dominance: 70% indica and 30% sativa, with short internodes and firm branches that hold the flowers well.
✓ 55 day flowering: a brisk cycle for a plant with so much production capacity.
✓ Big outdoor plant: up to 3 m tall and 800 g per plant, plus up to 500 g/m² indoors.
✓ Fruity, floral aroma: a sweet, delicate fragrance that sets it apart within the Critical family.
Indoor cultivation
Indoors it shows its most indica side: it grows compact and sturdy, with short internodes and a solid structure that supports dense, resin-coated flowers. It works well both in a sea of green, with several small single-cola plants, and with fewer plants topped and opened up with LST, depending on the space available. After 55 days of flowering it can reach up to 500 g/m². We advise a light, airy substrate, keeping the irrigation water pH between 6.0 and 6.5 in soil, removing the leaves that shade the central flowers in the second half of flowering and a good extraction system with an activated carbon filter, as the aroma becomes very intense in the final phase.
Outdoor cultivation
Outdoors it transforms: with room for its roots it can easily outgrow a person and reach up to 3 m, yielding 800 g per plant. It adapts well to different substrates and particularly appreciates soil enriched with guano, which drives growth and flower bulking. Plant it in full sun, set up stakes or a net for the upper branches before the plant shoots up and leave open space around it so the wind can dry the flowers after every rain.
Aroma and flavour
Its profile moves away from the earthy register typical of the Critical family towards sweet fruit and flowers. During flowering a fruity, floral aroma dominates, soft and enveloping, over a sweet and slightly spicy background reminiscent of ripe fruit. After drying it gains definition and the floral side becomes the leading note, with the fruit in support.

Get the most from your harvest
A plant able to reach 3 m outdoors moves a lot of sap and consumes more and more as flowering progresses, so it performs best with complete, even nutrition. Pair it with the Madame Grow fertilizer kits, covering growth, flowering and flower bulking, formulated in our laboratory in Andalusia.
Frequently asked questions
How big does it get outdoors?
It can reach up to 3 m tall in the ground or in large containers, with a yield of 800 g per plant. If you need to keep it in check, early topping and LST training spread the growth sideways and hold back its height.
Does it smell a lot while growing?
Yes, especially in the last weeks of flowering, when its fruity, floral aroma gains intensity. Indoors it is worth having powerful extraction and an activated carbon filter so the smell does not leave the grow space.
How should I store them until sowing?
In a cool, dry and dark place, ideally in the fridge inside an airtight container. This preserves their germination power for a long time.
