White Queen, also known as the “Empress of the White Strains,” is a heavy-hitting, indica-dominant hybrid that represents the pinnacle of resin production and cannabinoid potency. Descending from the world-renowned White Widow lineage, this strain has been further refined to offer an even more intense “frosty” appearance and a complex aromatic profile.
Origins and History:
The White Queen was developed in the early 2000s by master breeders who sought to push the limits of the “White” family of cannabis. While many strains claim the royal title, the true White Queen is a specific phenotype selection of a White Widow cross that exhibited extraordinary trichome density. Its history is tied to the elite coffee shops of Amsterdam, where it quickly became a sought-after delicacy for those requiring a profound physical and cerebral experience.
Genetics and Lineage:
- Genotype: 65% Indica / 35% Sativa.
- Ancestry: White Widow (Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica) crossed with NYC Diesel and Orange Bud.
This genetic combination results in a plant that maintains the resinous power of the Widow while incorporating the citrusy terpene highlights of Orange Bud and the fuel-like pungency of NYC Diesel.
Cannabinoid and Terpene Profile:
White Queen is consistently high in THC, with average levels sitting between 20% and 25%, though specialized lab tests have recorded peaks up to 28%. The CBD content remains low, typically around 1%, making the psychoactive effects very pronounced.
Terpenes:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky, and herbal.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and peppery.
- Humulene: Woody and hoppy.
Effects and Experience:
The White Queen provides a “regal” high that starts with a cerebral rush, often described as a feeling of mental clarity and euphoric focus. As the initial high matures, the indica genetics begin to manifest as a deep, radiating body stone that relieves tension and promotes significant relaxation. It is ideal for evening use or for managing chronic stress and physical discomfort.
