Genetics: Black Widow × White Widow
Nefertiti is the result of crossing two Widow legends:
- Black Widow — one of the most intense sativa lines in the world, known for its psychedelic, cerebral effect and complex Haze aroma with pine-resin and citrus notes.
- White Widow — the 1995 Cannabis Cup winner, known for legendary resin production, stability and a balanced profile.
The combination produces an 80% sativa-dominant hybrid with the intense head effect of Black Widow and the genetic stability and resin production of White Widow. Nefertiti originally carried the name "Black Hemp" and won its first major award under that name.
