Big White

Cannabis Strain by Breeders Choice

Introduction
White genetics — the White Widow family and its descendants — have been a cornerstone of European cannabis breeding since the 1990s. Big White, developed independently by both Breeders Choice and La Plata Labs, represents two distinct breeders' attempts to scale up and refine the White genetic platform.

Lineage
**Genetic Lineage** Breeders Choice and La Plata Labs have each produced a Big White variety, with somewhat different approaches reflected in their flowering times and classifications. Breeders Choice's version is a balanced indica/sativa hybrid flowering in approximately 63 days, suggesting a White Widow-derived cross that maintains the original's balanced hybrid character. La Plata Labs' version is classified as mostly indica with a 58-day flowering period, indicating a cross that has shifted the balance toward the indica side — possibly through a White Widow x indica hybrid selection or a distinct White family cross such as White Rhino or Great White Shark. Both versions share the fundamental White lineage characteristic of exceptional resin production, which is the defining agronomic and consumer characteristic of this genetic family. La Plata Labs, operating from Colorado, brings consistent technical methodology to their version. The "Big" designation across both versions implies selection for above-average yield — a historically elusive goal within the White genetic family, which has traditionally prioritized quality over bulk.

Terpenes
**Terpene Profile** White genetics consistently produce a recognizable terpene signature: floral, earthy sweetness with distinctive woody and pine undertones — an effect of high myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene content. The characteristic resin density of White family plants means terpene accumulation is generally high, even when the specific aromatic profile is not aggressively pungent. Breeders Choice's balanced version is expected to retain more of the original White Widow character, while La Plata Labs' more indica-leaning expression may develop a deeper earthiness and musk. Both versions are expected to produce above-average resin density relative to flowering time.

Growth
**Growth Characteristics** Breeders Choice's 63-day balanced hybrid will develop with moderate height and a canopy structure reflecting both indica and sativa contributors. La Plata Labs' 58-day mostly indica version should be more compact and faster-finishing, with denser bud formation. Both versions are expected to produce the prominent resin coating that is the White family's most distinctive physical characteristic — making them visually striking at maturity and valuable for concentrate production as well as direct consumption.

Effects
**Reported Effects** Both versions reflect the White genetic heritage: a balanced, initially euphoric and cerebrally engaging onset that transitions into physical relaxation. La Plata Labs' mostly indica expression will trend more heavily toward body effect and potential sedation. Breeders Choice's balanced version maintains cerebral engagement alongside the physical component. Potency across both versions is reported as high, consistent with the White lineage's historical reputation.

Documentation
**Medical Applications** Reported applications for both versions include stress relief, mood support, pain management, and relaxation. The La Plata Labs indica expression may be more appropriate for sleep support.
