Black Widow (H) is a high-potency, sativa-leaning hybrid (“H”) cannabis cultivar extracted by Green Dot Labs (GDL) in Colorado. Released through their curated “Powered by GDL” (PBGDL) selection, this strain completely bypasses the modern sweet candy trend in favor of an electric, sharp, old-school profile.
Genetic Lineage
Black Widow is an award-winning heirloom phenotype of the original White Widow lineage, bred by combining two landrace powerhouses:
South American Sativa: Passes down the soaring, energetic cerebral headspace.
South Indian Indica: Contributes heavy resin density and a grounding physical backend.
Flavor & Aroma Profile
Categorized strictly under GDL’s “Haze” terpene profile, Black Widow yields an intensely aromatic and sharp experience:
Primary Notes: Sharp, peppery pine needles, crushed black pepper, and refreshing menthol.
Undertones: Sublimely sweet, woody anise (licorice) mixed with deep, musk-skunk accents upon the exhale.
Dominant Terpenes: Exceptionally rich in Terpinolene (haze-forward sharpness), Caryophyllene (spicy fuel), and Myrcene (herbal musk).
Typical Hybrid Effects
Testing at high potencies (frequently between 71% and 84% THC in its extracted forms), Black Widow delivers a hard-hitting, multi-phase high:
The Mind: Launches with an immediate, soaring head high that sparks creative focus, intense euphoria, and vibrant energy.
The Body: As the cerebral peak coast downs, a calming physical tingle flows into your muscles, completely easing minor physical tension without locking you heavily to the couch.
Best For: Brainstorming sessions, outdoor exploration, or transitioning from a busy workday into a creative evening.
