indica-dominant strainGipsy Widow
Gipsy Widow is Exotic Seed’s interpretation of a cross between two different White Widow selections. It combines indica-like growth with greater stretch during flowering and long, increasingly compact, resin-rich flowers. Fresh lemon, citrus, earth and occasional incense shape the aroma.

Editorial profile
Gipsy Widow in detail
Origin & classification
According to Exotic Seed, Gipsy Widow traces back to two different selections of White Widow, the Dutch strain particularly associated with the 1990s. For this breeder-specific interpretation, a relatively pure Indica selection with dense flowers and rapid flowering was combined with a more sativa-like, longer-flowering and more heavily resin-producing type. This specific origin story should be added to the ancestry fields, which are currently empty.
Aroma & flavour
According to the breeder, Gipsy Widow initially behaves like an Indica during vegetative growth. During flowering, the picture changes: the plant stretches and develops flowers that join into long, dense units. As they mature, they are said to become increasingly compact. Because of their weight, the source recommends support stakes towards the end of flowering. Specific height and yield figures are not available, so no reliable size or production data can be provided beyond this.
Terpene profile
The aromatic spectrum is shaped by citrus. Fresh lemon combines with an earthy undertone; individual specimens may also develop a subtle incense note. This wording also makes clear that not every phenotype must display exactly the same bouquet. Terpenes are not listed. The public-facing text should therefore remain limited to the olfactory impressions actually described and should not add a chemical composition.
Effect tendency
The source describes the effects as potent and distinctly physical for much of their duration. A cerebral component is also mentioned, meaning the profile cannot be reduced to heaviness alone. The provider associates this combination with quiet periods without obligations; this does not constitute a consumption recommendation. Intensity and emphasis may vary depending on the batch, amount and individual response.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
A flowering time of approximately 60 days is recorded. The original description refers to a fast-flowering Indica selection and a longer-flowering Sativa selection, but the visible text does not provide an exact number of days for the finished cross. The figure should therefore be verified as a breeder-specific reference value. Cannabinoid values are not available. Gipsy Widow is therefore most reliably characterised by its dual White Widow selection, the shift from indica-like growth to greater stretch, long resinous flowers, fresh lemon with earth, and the combination of physical and head-focused effects.
