The White
The crown jewel of trichome production—a mysterious powerhouse famous for buds so resinous they appear pure white.
What is The White?
The White (originally called "Triangle") is one of the most prestigious "clone-only" strains in cannabis history. While its exact genetic origins are shrouded in mystery, it is widely believed to have emerged from the Florida Triangle (Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami). Unlike many modern hybrids that lean on heavy aromas, The White was bred for one specific purpose: maximum resin coverage.
The White is a "visual first" cultivar. It produces dense, chunky flowers that are completely encrusted in a thick layer of crystalline trichomes, making the green plant matter almost invisible. It is the genetic backbone of countless famous crosses, including White Tahoe Cookies and WiFi OG. Sourcing a verified The White clone is essential, as its value lies in its unique ability to add "frost" and potency to any breeding project or commercial garden.
Terpene Profile
The The White strain terpenes are famously subtle compared to its visual appeal. It does not hit you with a loud fruity or skunky nose; instead, it offers a sophisticated, understated profile of earthy pine, light hashish, and a faint lemon-wood cleaner finish.
Growing The White
The White is a dream for growers who value "bag appeal" above all else. It grows into a stout, indica-framed plant with broad leaves and very little stretch during the flowering phase. Because it is a clone-only variety, environmental stability is key to ensuring it reaches its full resin-producing potential.
Key Growing Tips
-
Silica SupplementationUse silica to strengthen stalks, as the buds become incredibly heavy with resin
-
AirflowThe buds are extremely dense; maintain high airflow to prevent inner-bud moisture issues
-
Light IntensityThis strain thrives under high-intensity light which drives its record-breaking frost
Because The White has a low stretch factor, we recommend a longer "veg" time to ensure the plant reaches a desirable size before flipping to flower.
Flower Quality & Curing
The White is the gold standard for **shelf appeal**. While many growers use it to create resinous extracts, its flower is highly prized by connoisseurs who enjoy a clean, earthy smoke. The trichomes are large and capitate-stalked, meaning they are incredibly prominent to the naked eye.
Effects & Experience
The **The White strain effects** are surprisingly balanced for a strain with such high THC levels. It provides a potent, full-body relaxation that feels heavy but not necessarily sedative. It is often described as a "clean" high, free from the paranoia sometimes associated with high-potency sativa-leaning hybrids.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is named for its extreme resin production. During the late flowering stage, the buds become so covered in white trichomes that the plant appears to be dusted in snow or powdered sugar.
No. While both are famous for resin, they are genetically distinct. The White is a Florida-born "clone-only" strain, whereas White Widow is a Dutch classic with a very different terpene and growth profile.
The flavor is subtle and earthy. Expect notes of pine, forest floor, and a hint of spicy hash. It is not a "loud" fruity or dessert strain, but rather a clean, classic cannabis experience.
The White is legendary in breeding because it consistently passes on its extreme resin production and bud density to its offspring, making it a favorite for creating "exotic" hybrids.
