Great White Shark Feminized by Green House seeds

Information on Great White Shark

The Great White Shark is an old-school feminized and photoperiod classic from Green House Seeds, an indica-dominant hybrid variety that has earned its prestige through awards and cultivation reliability that's hard to match. Robust, vigorous and very resinous, it remains one of the safest bets in the catalog for those seeking a straightforward plant with generous results.

Genetics and Origin

This variety comes from crossing a selected Super Skunk with the legendary White Widow (itself Brazilian x South Indian), resulting in a clearly indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 80% indica / 20% sativa). From Super Skunk it inherits its earthy character and potency, while White Widow contributes resin and structure. Its track record is no surprise: 1st Bio Prize at HTCC 1997 and 1st Highlife Prize 2005. According to sources, its THC ranges widely from 14% to 23%, with the breeder placing it around approximately 22.94%, with low CBD (around 0.18% according to official figures).

Indoor and Outdoor Cultivation

Indoors, Great White Shark flowers in about 8–9 weeks (≈63–65 days) and can achieve yields of 700–800 g/m². It's a short, wide and heavily branched plant, making it ideal for canopy management techniques like SoG and ScrOG. It tolerates medium and high nutrient levels, and its difficulty is described as low, making it accessible even for growers with little experience.

Outdoors, it gains size and vigor, reaching heights between 150 and 190 cm and yields of 900–1000 g per plant. Harvest arrives toward the end of September or first week of October in the northern hemisphere. Its flowers are dense, light green in color, covered in resin and topped with orange pistils.

Aromas, Flavors and Effects

In aroma and flavor, Great White Shark offers an earthy and sweet profile with fruity and herbal nuances, plus subtle floral notes. Its most expressed terpenes, according to the breeder, are myrcene, alpha-humulene and beta-caryophyllene, responsible for that earthy background character with a fresh, spicy edge reminiscent of its Skunk heritage.

Effect-wise, it stands out for a very pronounced and long-lasting body action, described as narcotic or body stone, accompanied by a clear mind. Its predominance is clearly physically relaxing, making it suitable for moments of rest and disconnection. The manufacturer itself mentions its use in pain therapy, though this is breeder data and not a verified medical claim.
