Reeferman Genetics, a breeder, created the F1 cross between the Vietnamese Black and Highland Nepali that became Willie Nelson. Although this is unconfirmed, it is believed that the cultivar was named after the well-known country singer because it is his preferred flower. Willie Nelson has a sweet, woodsy, and citrus flavor profile, as well as average THC and CBD concentrations of 22% and 3–10%, according to Pacific Seed Bank.
In 2005, the strain took home the top prize for Best Sativa at the High Times Cannabis Cup.
According to Seedsman seed bank, Willie Nelson grows tall, is simple to grow both indoors and outdoors, and blooms in 10–12 weeks indoors or late November outdoors. The breeder claims that the hardy strain is resistant to the majority of pests and illnesses. The short, bushy colas have light green foliage, a thick layer of white trichomes, and orange pistils that are curly. High yields are produced by Willie Nelson, claims Pacific Seed Bank.
