The White

Also known as: Triangle, Krome's The White, The White (Krome's Cut)

Breeder: Krome (clone-only selection, Florida)

The White is a clone-only indica-dominant hybrid selected by Florida grower Krome in the early 2000s. Named for its extraordinary trichome coverage that makes buds appear dipped in powdered sugar, it delivers potent, creeping relaxation with a notably subdued aroma. With 179 direct descendants on SeedFinder, The White is one of the most influential breeding parents in modern cannabis, prized for adding resin production without overpowering the other parent's terpene profile. The White occupies a singular position in cannabis genetics — a cultivar whose entire legacy rests on resin rather than aroma, flavor, or documented lineage. Originally shared through Florida's underground growing scene in the early-to-mid 2000s, this clone-only selection traveled to the West Coast and became one of the most consequential building blocks in modern breeding. WiFi OG (The White x Fire OG, bred by OG Raskal Seeds), White Tahoe Cookies (The White x Tahoe OG x Girl Scout Cookies, by Archive Seed Bank), White 99, and dozens of boutique crosses all trace their frost back to Krome's original cut. What makes The White unusual among famous cultivars is its near-absence of aroma — a trait that most breeders would consider a flaw but that has proven invaluable when paired with loud, terpene-rich partners. The resulting offspring frequently exhibit both the extreme trichome density of The White and the amplified terpene profiles of the pollen donor, producing hash-ready flowers that check every box for craft and commercial growers alike. THC typically tests between 18% and 29%, with most retail batches landing in the 22-26% range. The terpene profile is led by myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene, with total terpene content commonly in the 1.2-2.5% range by weight.

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: Unknown three-way cross (unverified Kush/OG lineage speculated)

The exact parent strains are unknown and deliberately undisclosed by Krome. The working name 'Triangle' referenced a three-way cross, not a geographic location. Popular theories suggest Florida Kush or OG Kush-adjacent lineage based on its dense bud formation, compact internodal spacing, and relaxing body-forward effects, but no parentage has been verified through genetic testing.

Terpene Profile

DOMINANT

Myrcene — Earthy, ripe, settling base note; the most abundant terpene at 0.20-0.80%

DOMINANT

Caryophyllene — Peppery, hashy, spicy edge contributing warmth and depth at 0.15-0.60%

SECONDARY

Limonene — Subtle citrus nuance and mild mood lift at 0.20-0.50%

SECONDARY

Humulene — Woody, earthy complement to caryophyllene at 0.10-0.30%

SECONDARY

Pinene — Pine-resin note supporting the hashy character at 0.05-0.35%

Aroma: Notably subdued compared to most cultivars — clean, earthy, dry foundation with faint pine. Grinding reveals dough, sweet cream, and soft bready sweetness, backed by pepper, dry wood, light citrus zest, and a hashy edge. One grower described it as 'lemon piney hashy gummy bear.'

Flavor: Dry, earthy inhale with gentle pine and flour-dough undertones. Exhale brings white pepper, woody spice, and hints of caryophyllene warmth. Some phenotypes show faint citrus rind or lemon cream. Finishes with a hashy resin and light biscuit aftertaste.

Effects & Experience

Onset: Creeper — subtle at first, then intensifying over 10-20 minutes with a calm, focused, moderately uplifting start and clear headspace

Body relaxation becomes pronounced at the 20-45 minute peak with warmth, tension relief, and mood elevation. Higher doses produce heavy couch-lock, sedation, strong munchies, and drift into sleep.

Duration: 2-4 hours inhaled

Grower's Notes

Flower

8-9 weeks

Indoor Yield

450-550 g/m²

Outdoor Yield

560-900 g/plant

Difficulty

Moderate

Height / Stretch

Short-Medium (2.5-4 ft indoor, 6+ ft outdoor)

Environment

Dry, controlled indoor or warm climate

Training

Responds well to topping, LST, and ScrOG. Top early and again to develop a bushy canopy. Compact internodal spacing makes her ideal for canopy leveling and high-density setups.

Stretch & Support

Expect 1.5-2x stretch after flip. Staking is required — stems are not strong enough to support the heavy, dense buds without support. Plan trellis netting before flower.

Feeding

Medium to heavy feeder. Standard Kush/OG program: higher nitrogen in veg (NPK ~3-1-2), transitioning to PK-heavy bloom feed (NPK ~1-3-3). Start at 25-50% label strength and increase based on plant response. Cal-Mag supplementation recommended in coco or RO water.

Environment

Keep humidity below 50% during late flower to prevent mold in the dense buds. Carbon filtration recommended — aroma becomes noticeable in flower despite the strain's reputation for a quiet nose. pH target: 6.0-6.8 soil, 5.5-6.5 coco/hydro.

Harvest Window

Looks finished at 8 weeks but finishes best at about 65 days with fully cloudy trichomes. Resin production intensifies dramatically through weeks 6-8. Outdoor harvest: end of September to early October.

Drying & Trimming

Slow drying is critical due to dense bud structure — hang whole branches at 60-65°F and 55-60% RH for 10-14 days. Dry trimming is preferred; sugar leaves break off cleanly when dry. Trimming The White is described as 'an absolute dream.'

Curing

Cure in airtight containers at 58-62% RH with Boveda 62% packs. Minimum 2-week cure, 30-60+ days for premium quality. Burp containers during the first two weeks.

Extraction

Benchmark cultivar for hash and extraction work. Gland heads separate cleanly during ice water extraction and dry sift. Hydrocarbon extracts often exceed 70% total cannabinoids. Hashmakers report the strain is more expressive in hash form than as dried flower.

Cloning

Fairly easy to clone — pops roots in rockwool or bubble cloner within 5-7 days. Keep humidity up and cubes not too soaked. Shows lots of vigor and fills space quickly.

Pest & Disease

Dense bud structure makes it susceptible to botrytis and powdery mildew if humidity is not controlled. Strong airflow with oscillating fans is essential to prevent stagnant air pockets around dense flower sites.

History & Origin

The White traces from Florida underground to global breeding staple. In the early 2000s, Krome selected and circulated a clone under the working name 'Triangle' — referring to its three-way cross, not the Florida geographic triangle associated with Triangle Kush. As the clone traveled, it was renamed 'The White' for its striking visual appearance. A 2008 ICMag grow journal by 'Lucid' provided one of the earliest comprehensive documented grows. By the late 2000s, The White reached West Coast gardens and became a forum favorite. OG Raskal Seeds used it to create WiFi OG (White Fire OG), one of the most celebrated OG crosses of the era. As legalization expanded, verified cuts reached licensed facilities confirming consistent high THC. SeedFinder lists 179 direct descendants, and Leafbuyer notes it 'has reached the stratified air shared with those elite OG cuts in terms of rarity and overall value.' Its staying power lies in its role as a 'blank slate' breeding parent — exceptional resin with a subdued nose that improves trichome coverage in crosses without overwhelming the other parent's terpenes.
