¶ The White
¶ Overview
The White is an indica-dominant hybrid created by crossing Triangle Kush with Animal Mints. This strain earns its name from the exceptionally dense, frosty white trichome coverage that blankets its buds, giving them a sugar-coated appearance. Developed within the South Florida and broader East Coast breeding scene, The White has gained recognition for its potent THC levels (frequently reaching the mid-to-upper 20s percent range), fuel-forward aroma with earthy and citrus undertones, and heavy body relaxation effects. The strain's visual appeal and high potency have made it a popular choice for both flower consumers and extractors seeking high-yielding, resinous material.

¶ Genetics & Lineage
The White is a two-way cross between two potent modern cultivars:
- Triangle Kush -- A legendary Florida indica-dominant strain (of debated lineage, often described as an OG Kush phenotype or a distinct Florida landrace expression) known for its heavy body effects, fuel-forward aroma, and distinctive triangular bud structure
- Animal Mints -- An indica-dominant hybrid (Animal Cookies x Mints) known for its potent effects, fuel and doughy aroma, and heavy trichome production
Parent lineage: Triangle Kush x Animal Mints
By combining the heavy, fuel-forward Triangle Kush with the potent and resinous Animal Mints, breeders produced a strain that amplifies the trichome density and potency of both parents while delivering heavy indica body effects. The extreme white trichome coverage that gives the strain its name is a product of both parents' genetics for resin production.
¶ Cannabinoid Profile
| Cannabinoid | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| THC (Total) | 20-28% |
| CBD | <1% (typically 0.1-0.3%) |
| CBG | 0.8-1.5% |
| CBN | <0.5% (increases with age) |
The White occupies the very high end of the THC range, making it one of the more potent indicas commonly available and a strain that requires careful dosing, particularly for less experienced users.
¶ Terpene Profile
| Terpene | Approximate Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Caryophyllene | 25-40% | Dominant terpene; peppery, spicy depth grounding the fuel profile |
| Myrcene | 20-35% | Earthy, herbal base associated with heavy sedation |
| Limonene | 8-15% | Citrus brightness that rounds out the fuel character |
| Pinene | 3-7% | Subtle pine undertones |
| Humulene | 2-5% | Earthy, hoppy accents |
The caryophyllene-myrcene-limonene combination produces The White's distinctive fuel, earthy, and citrus aroma, with the Triangle Kush influence clearly present in the fuel-forward profile.
¶ Effects & Experience
The White is widely reported to produce:
- Heavy body relaxation -- A deep, full-body sensation that relaxes muscles and releases physical tension
- Potent euphoria -- A noticeable mental lift that accompanies the body effects, more pronounced than in many pure indicas
- Strong sedation -- Progressive drowsiness that typically leads to sleep at moderate doses, making this strain best suited for evening or nighttime use
- Stress relief -- Commonly reported reduction in mental and physical tension
Onset: Effects typically begin within minutes when smoked or vaporized; 30-90 minutes when consumed orally.
Duration: 2-4 hours for inhaled consumption; 6-8 hours for oral consumption.
Intensity: Strong to very strong. The White is best suited to experienced users or those with established tolerance due to its very high THC content.
⚠️ Effects are self-reported and vary by individual, dose, tolerance, and consumption method. Not a prediction of any individual's experience. Do not operate vehicles or machinery after consumption.
¶ Aroma & Flavor
The White presents a bold, fuel-forward sensory profile:
- Smell: Strong fuel and earthy with citrus undertones. The aroma is pungent and recognizable as Triangle Kush lineage, with a deep fuel base, earthy depth, and a citrus brightness that rounds out the profile. The smell is strong and noticeable.
- Taste: Fuel and earthy flavors on inhalation, with citrus and slightly peppery notes on the exhale. The smoke is moderately smooth, though the potency of the flower and the heavy trichome coverage can make the experience intense.
¶ Medical Usesdanger
Not Medical Advice -- The following lists commonly reported therapeutic applications. This does not constitute medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before using cannabis therapeutically.
Commonly reported uses include:
- Pain management -- Deep physical relaxation is commonly cited for severe chronic pain, muscle spasms, and tension
- Insomnia and sleep support -- The powerful sedating effect makes The White a choice for individuals with significant sleep difficulties
- Stress and anxiety reduction -- The calming effect is reported to reduce both mental and physical stress
- Appetite stimulation -- High THC content is associated with notable appetite increase
¶ Adverse Effects
Commonly reported adverse effects:
- Dry mouth (cottonmouth)
- Dry eyes
- Heavy drowsiness and couch-lock
- Dizziness at higher doses
- Anxiety or paranoia at high doses, more likely due to the very high THC content
- Impaired coordination and cognitive function during the experience
¶ Growing Information
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Moderate to Difficult -- requires experience with nutrient management, environment control, and odor management |
| Flowering Time | 60-70 days (indoor) |
| Yield | 300-400 g/m² indoor; 400-500 g/plant outdoor |
| Plant Height | Medium -- stretches moderately during early flower; indica-dominant structure |
| Preferred Environment | Indoor preferred due to strong odor and environmental sensitivity; can be grown outdoors in a warm, dry climate |
| Resistance | Moderate resistance to mold and pests. The extremely dense trichome coverage and heavy buds require careful humidity management to prevent mold. Strong odor during flowering requires carbon filtration in indoor setups. Nutrient sensitivity means careful feeding is essential. |
The White is moderately to difficult to grow. It benefits from the grower's experience with environmental control, particularly humidity and temperature management. The strain responds well to topping and LST. The heavy trichome production requires careful handling during harvest and trimming. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically falls in mid-October.
¶ Awards & Recognition
- No widely recognized Cannabis Cup wins on record for The White as a standalone entry
- The strain has built a strong reputation through consumer demand and dispensary presence, particularly in East Coast and Florida markets
- Triangle Kush, the parent strain, is individually recognized as a legendary Florida cultivar
- The White's exceptional trichome density has made it a popular choice among extractors for concentrate production
