A question about hash plants

[tokemon]

How come some of the afghan variaties are called hash plants but you never hear people call white widow a hash plant? If hash is trichomes then WW seems like the best choice. What's up with that?

All MJ plants can be called hash plants if they are going to be used for hash production.

Marijuana plants that have a high THC *and* a high resin production are generally the ones that are called *Hash Plants*.

Some plants are preferred for making hash because of the strain that is most healthy in the regions that hash is produced. White Widow is a hybrid that has a history of being a difficult plant to grow due to it's special characteristics. It wouldn't make a good choice for a field grown crop because it's too prone to problems without much care. Many inside growers fail when trying to grow this strain.

Most *Hash* strains are very tough and can grow even under difficult conditions and produce harvests that are heavy with resin and ideal for hash.
