How Many Grams Does White Widow Yield per Plant?

White Widow. The name alone feels like a punch—sharp, iconic, a little dangerous. It’s one of those strains that’s been around forever, or at least it feels that way. People talk about it like it’s a legend, and maybe it is. But if you’re growing it, you’re not just chasing a high—you’re chasing grams. So how much does this frosty beast actually yield per plant?

Short answer? Somewhere between 400 and 600 grams per plant outdoors. Indoors, more like 350 to 450 grams per square meter. But that’s just numbers. They don’t tell you about the heartbreak, the sticky fingers, the late nights checking trichomes under a flashlight like some kind of paranoid goblin. Yield depends on everything—light, nutrients, training, luck, maybe even the phase of the moon. I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like voodoo.

If you’re growing indoors, under LEDs or HPS, in a tent or a closet or a converted laundry room—expect less. Controlled environments are great for quality, but they cap your space. Sea of Green? You’ll get more per square meter, but less per plant. Let them stretch? Bigger plants, longer veg time, more grams. It’s a tradeoff. Always is.

Outdoors, though—different game. If you’ve got sun, soil, and patience, White Widow can go full jungle mode. Like, shoulder-height bushes dripping with resin. I’ve seen plants push past 600 grams easy. But then again, I’ve seen them rot in the rain two weeks before harvest. That’s the gamble. Nature doesn’t care about your yield goals.

Also—don’t forget phenotype variation. Not every White Widow seed is gonna behave the same. Some stay squat and bushy, others stretch like they’re trying to escape. Some are stingy. Some are generous. You can’t always tell until it’s too late to do anything about it.

I once grew a Widow that gave me barely 200 grams. Looked healthy the whole time, smelled amazing, but just didn’t bulk up. Another time—same seed bank, same setup—I pulled nearly 500 grams off one plant. Go figure. Maybe it liked the music I was playing that time. Or maybe it just wanted to.

So yeah, if you’re looking for a clean number, call it 400-600 grams per plant outdoors, 350-450 grams per square meter indoors. But don’t bet your rent money on it. White Widow is reliable, sure—but she’s also got a wild streak. Like a cat that lets you pet her, then bites you for no reason. You grow her for the buzz, not the predictability.

Anyway. If you’re chasing yield, there are bigger producers out there. But if you’re chasing that classic, earthy, citrusy, knock-you-on-your-ass kind of high—White Widow’s still queen. Just don’t expect her to make it easy.
