Fig Widow
Fig Widow is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the ‘98 Aloha White Widow. As a cultivar, it is designed for growers of moderate experience, performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant produces a high yield and maintains a relatively short flowering duration of 55 days, showcasing its utility for those seeking reliable production cycles.
The terpene profile of Fig Widow is driven by a dominant concentration of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary components. These compounds define the aromatic and sensory profile of the flower, offering a balanced olfactory experience that reflects this specific chemical arrangement. Each of these terpenes contributes to the overall character of the strain, grounding the user in the distinct profile inherited from its specific lineage.
Consumers of Fig Widow typically report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These particular effects make the strain a suitable candidate for managing stress and physical pain, as well as for aiding in sleep. The genetic legacy of this hybrid is further evidenced by its notable offspring, the Durban Fig Widow, which continues the lineage established by the parent strain.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
