DNA Genetics’ White Walker Kush (not to be confused with Whitewalker OG) is a hybrid cross of elite parent strains White Widow (Ingemar cut) and Skywalker. Taking after its White Widow mother, this 60/40 sativa-dominant strain comes blanketed in a snow-like layer of crystal resin. The influence of Skywalker is apparent in White Walker Kush’s heavily relaxing effects which are best reserved for a lazy evening in. Boosting both mood and appetite, White Walker Kush is a great choice for patients treating conditions like anorexia or cachexia.

Feeling ‘Insecure’ Like Issa Rae? These Strains Can Help

I really like this strain. if you take one or two hits, you're probably going to be very productive. But be warned, if you take too many hits, you'll end up a couch potato. But overall it's a really nice strain. I love mixing it with Elephant OD. ♡

really like this one, 
cure my anxiety , depression and stress.


Great hybrid strain. Immediately after smoking some of this I had a rush of energy and my mind was clear. When the high really kicked in, it slowly sucked me into the couch. Great for day and night time use in my opinion.

An excellent hybrid strain for evening usage or unwinding.

one of the best strains to grow I think it takes its time next thing you know poof you got beautiful dense nuggets foot long colas! !!!! I think it's a must!!! real easy to grow 

Best hybrid I've tried by far. I stayed talkative and it made me feel mad creative

Strong body high that is very sedating. Excellent for insomnia. Works quite well for pain as well. Not much cerebral effects, aside from feeling relaxed and entranced.

THCV

White Walker Kush

<p>Mazar x Blueberry is a well-rounded indica-dominant hybrid that helps patients knock out pain and relax into sleep after a long day. The sativa side of this strain allows for a nice head high as well, but it isn&rsquo;t overly hazy or unfocused. Mazar x Blueberry was created by Amsterdam&rsquo;s Dutch Passion Seeds to combine the sweet fruity aroma of <a href="/strains/blueberry">Blueberry</a> with the growing strengths of the hardy, high-yielding <a href="/strains/mazar-i-sharif">Mazar</a>. Great for indoor growing, Mazar x Blueberry plants will stay shorter and bushy, flowering in 8 to 9 weeks. If you&rsquo;re looking for the California Mazar x Blueberry&nbsp;that has OG genetics, check out Mazar x Blueberry OG.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


Mazar x Blueberry

<p>Among the most famous strains worldwide is White Widow, a balanced <a href="/strains/lists/category/hybrid">hybrid</a> first bred in the Netherlands by Green House Seeds. A cross between a <a href="/strains/south-american">Brazilian</a> <a href="/strains/lists/category/sativa">sativa</a> <a href="/news/cannabis-101/the-cannabis-origin-what-is-a-landrace-strain">landrace</a> and a resin-heavy <a href="/strains/south-indian">South Indian</a> <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a>, &nbsp;White Widow has blessed every Dutch coffee shop menu since its birth in the 1990s. Its buds are white with crystal resin, warning you of the potent effects to come. A powerful burst of <a href="/strains/lists/effect/euphoric">euphoria</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/effect/energetic">energy</a> breaks through immediately, stimulating both <a href="/strains/lists/effect/talkative">conversation</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/effect/creative">creativity</a>. White Widow&rsquo;s genetics have given rise to many other legends like <a href="/strains/white-russian">White Russian</a>, <a href="/strains/white-rhino">White Rhino</a>, and <a href="/strains/blue-widow">Blue Widow</a>. Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors.</p>
