This post is intended to focus in on Veg Room #2, and what we have growing in there. The strains are White Widow and Vanilla Kush. Here is an explanation of what we expect from these two classic varieties. All reviews are from the web, at Way of Leaf and all images are from Google Images.
White Widow
WHITE WIDOW STRAIN OVERVIEW
If you're looking for an upbeat high abound with social energy and motivation, look no further than the beloved White Widow strain. This strain is an all-time fan favorite and has really gained a worldwide fanbase. It has an interesting flavor with notes of peach, skunk, fruit and spice and will really relax you without causing sedation. It’s a great one for morning use. (A personal note: WW is the only strain that has ever hit me so hard that I literally fell out of my chair after taking a big bong hit)
THC - 22.5%
CBD - 0%
SATIVA - 40%
INDICA - 60%
If there is any one marijuana strain whose name has been thrown around for two decades all over the world, and people still aren’t tired of hearing about it, that would be White Widow. White Widow is a euphoric, downright stimulating strain, making any reality you might be living in totally and completely enhanced — in a positive way.
Winning the High Times Cup in 1995 when it was first released, as well as being generally recognized as one of the most popular marijuana strains in the world, White Widow cannabis is classified genetically as a hybrid with a slight indica dominance. Realistically, the strain mostly it emits a fine balance between sativa and indica, with a roughly 60% indica and 40% sativa profile.
Even if indica genetics might technically dominate White Widow’s makeup, however, its effects surely don’t represent your typical indica characteristics, with a high that does anything but make you tired, couch-locked, or lethargic.
The unique high from White Widow is typically upbeat and mesmerizing, and will relax your body without causing your mind to want to fall asleep.
This beautiful girl was originally bred by Green House Seeds in the Netherlands during the 1990s, and soon after developed into a European favorite – highlighting almost every menu across the countless number of Amsterdam coffeeshops.
White Widow’s parent plants give a clear explanation of why this strain has such a balanced energy, originally descending from heirloom breeds of South American (sativa) and South Indian (indica) heritage.
With both parents being categorized as landrace strains, it’s probably pretty obvious that White Widow turned out to become a highly potent and genetically-desirable strain, with understandably hard-hitting effects in terms of strength and therapeutic effectiveness.
And of course, the White Widow cannabis strain has become legendary for its immense resin production, as it routinely clocks in with THC levels in the 20-25% range — all adding up to produce a vibrant flower that offers a host of legitimate medicinal benefits.
In every sense of the word, White Widow weed might just be qualified to assume the status of a “perfect” marijuana strain — or at least as close to perfect as earthly possible. In the pothead’s eyes, it doesn’t really get much better than WW.

Vanilla Kush
Vanilla Kush is a unique Dutch bud from Barney’s Farm in Amsterdam. And with THC levels often rising above 20% it is undoubtedly a hard-hitting strain. An indica-dominant hybrid, Vanilla Kush possesses everything we love about the indica plants, but with a cool twist.
Initially appearing in the mid-1980’s, Vanilla Kush is a delicate flower. It combines the indica traits of some of the best Afghani genetics with the delightfully sticky Hash Plant. This strain embodies all the delightful mountain aromas of the Kashmir valley from where its parents originate.
Packing a potent punch that can easily slip into couch-lock, we recommend that Vanilla Kush is best for use in the evenings or at night. Those who are new to cannabis may do well to steer clear of this one due to its potent effects.
This sweet bud flowers in just eight weeks, producing large, soft flowers that are pretty to look at. The real benefits of growing Vanilla Kush are that it is just as easy to grow indoors as it is outdoors, which is something that cannot be said for many plants.
With minimal effort, you could grow this bud indoors and expect a reach of around 60 cm, and a flowering time of nine weeks. Outdoor growers are looking for their plants to be ready around the end of September or beginning of October. Incredibly, this plant can produce up to 250 grams of marijuana per plant!
The THC content of Vanilla Kush could vary between 15% and 22%, with average levels of around 20%.
THC - 18.5%
CBD - 1%
SATIVA - 70%
INDICA - 30%
