Final Grow/Smoke Report
Okay, so now that I have looked over my scribbling and dried all of the bud, I will offer up some observations on this strain. As usual I would like to say that a handful of plants hardly constitutes a fair and scientific investigation and more thorough growing is needed t ...continued

Not the easiest to grow by a long way. Huge stretch in flower, almost doubled in size in the first 2 weeks, and quite easy to burn with nutes. Probably not the best strain for a beginner. I noticed that the flowering time you often get told for WW is 70 days; this was much too long for mine. They on ...continued

Germination:
From a 10 feminized seeds pack (100 euros= approx. 100$), I got 7 ladies and the other 3 beans went to trash (this germination problem may come from too much moisture: it seems the 3 weakest seeds have rotten).
Phenotypes:
Phenotype from this pack was quite uniform: a sativa-indica ...continued

A very nice plant to grow for those who don't mind waiting. White Widow packs a real punch when it comes to the size and effect of this great medication. Total flowering time indoor was 75 days which was a lot more than I would have liked to have waited. End result from 2 female plants was 4 oz dry ...continued

The Dutch passion feminised white widow was a massive smoke and an easy plant to grow – I do recommend it. Of 4 seeds, 3 sprouted and all were females. The plants were very bushy which caused problems in the confines of my waist-high grow room.
Because of the height restrictions the plants wer ...continued

Outdoor grow !
Ok now you know it was an outdoor grow, so here we are.
Started 5 seeds on mid April, directly in 25L containers. They were feed with bio grow during veg and bio-bloom during flower. They stretch a lot during the beginning of the veg, so they didn't look very bushy. 3 Turned out to ...continued

-A 10 pack of Dutch Passion Feminised White Widow was started by me in 2003, 8/10 seeds popped within 24 hours. The 2 seeds that didn't pop lacked dark striping.
-Seeds were placed in 1" rockwool cubes, and given extremely dilute flowering fertilizer to promote rooting.
-When seedlings showed true leaves, as well as roots escaping the cubes, they were placed in 5 gallon continuous drip buckets filled with hydroton clay balls. Nutrient strength began at 600 ppm.
-All plants were nearly identical in growth characteristics, Dutch Passion has reduced variability in this strain to roughly nil. Very fast, and vigorous vegetative growth was observed. Very light green, profuse shoots, strong stem growth. Cloning speed is average, 5-10 days in rockwool, slightly longer in jiffy cubes. Stems are very sticky and extremely stinky when rubbed in veg.
-As the plants matured, nutrient strength was gradually raised to 12-1600 ppm, This plant can take stronger ppm during veg. It also has a fairly wide ph range in both hydro and soil, 5.8-7, will produce strong growth throughout.
-White Widow is sensitive to excess sodium+chlorides in tap water, if at all possible, use RO water. White Widow also needs extra calcium throughout the growth cycle. If using DNF nutrients, magnesium will also have to be added, as this formula doesn't contain enough for this variety. If you are positive you are supplying everything to your White Widows, and they still are showing light signs of deficiency of some sort, look to these problems to solve it.
-Several crops have been grown from these mothers since, eventually I settled on
one mother, who was less susceptible to the nutrient problems described above. The pictures are all from my most recent crop harvested jan 7, 2005. Potency has roughly increased by about a third from the first crop, when the plant was 3 months old, to now at 2 years. This is by far the most potent, stinkiest crop yet, with the most dense trichrome production I have ever seen, I use a 60-100x microscope to examine the buds. I attribute some of this to using advanced new micro-organism products.
-White widow stretches to 2.5 times her veg size in flower, responds very well to 'super croppin' techniques/stem massage, increases flower size and weight markedly. There is not much difference in dry weight between topped and untopped. Topped plants produce 4 equal sized colas, versus one slightly larger cola and many smaller buds on untopped. These plants are not heavy yielders, first crop colas averaged 5-7gm, most current crop colas averaged 8-11gm. Expect probably slightly less than 1lb per light if you are inexperienced, or more experienced but your first time with finicky plants. I have most recently just harvested 1.5 Lbs per 1000 watt light, and I feel, after 2 years, I have pushed them to near their heaviest. (3gal growbags, 9/light) Expect 2 ozs or so out of a 3 gal bag.
-This plant also works well outdoors, further south than the 50th parallel or so. Will produce excellent looking outdoor nugs, when in the right spot, needs at least 6 hrs of sun a day to produce the densest (weight+trichromes) buds.
-White widow does not like heavy nutrient strength during flower at any time. Expect slower growth, less flavour, less resistance to stress if you choose to push their ppm. Keep flowering nutes to 1-1300 ppm in soil or hydro. She produces profuse trichromes very early, and will show sex within a week of 12/12. She will also turn yellow very quickly and drop most if not all leaves by the end of flower, do not be alarmed! The same plant can take anywhere from 8-10 weeks, depending on its conditions during growth. Leave it longer to achieve its maximum flavour and trichrome production (9-11 weeks).
-This bud produces buds of an excellent light green hue, this effect can be hastened by reducing nitrogen to a 1/3 of normal during last 2 weeks, also requires extra calcium last 2 weeks. Lots of spiky hairs, the bud structure is long, dense buds (not like an indica dense) visible stalked trichromes to the naked eye, will glitter like diamonds in the sun.
-A purely synthetic nutrient regimen will not produce the intense, multi-layered flavour that this strain can produce, you can also forget about maximum crystal. If pure synthetic is your preferred style, you would be wise to add a seaweed derived product to your mix in all your grows to achieve higher levels of kindness. With a proper regimen, crystallization and flavour is unbelievable, with many subtle levels to both the odour and high. Incredible quality hash can be made from the trim, i've beat out pure bud hash with my trim hash in several instances!
-Odour control is required if you don't want to be busted promptly, this plant has an extremely original scent and it is very powerful. Seems to leak from sealed mason jars!
-This smoke is of the highest grade pure and simple. It is not for beginners to grow by any means, its also not for beginners to smoke! The bud is extremely desirable, and will make any who smoke literally salivate. Cures to an exceptional golden green hue. After the first hit or two, you will feel pressure immediately behind your eyes, its a strange sensation but just realise you will be extremely baked soon! You may not get much farther either, I find myself putting out many joints 1/4 to 1/2 done before I even know what I'm doing. This will blast even the most jaded smokers, at first anyways. Due to the extremely high THC content, you will build a tolerance pretty quickly. Sometimes in a day or two of smoking. Don't worry! Give it a rest of a day or two as well and you will be back to blasted. When this bud hits the streets, it acquires many names due to its extreme effects. Think 'Crack weed' and 'Golden Jesus Weed'. Also expect many compliments of this is the best shit ever, or this is the best shit of the year, when well grown that is. Even if not well grown this will outshine most other bud.
Many people have downplayed white widow over the years because of its hype. Don't be fooled! These are absolutely exceptional genetics, Greenhouse may be the originators, but Dutch Passion has reduced variability and increased vigour, you will not be disappointed, but your pocket might hurt after purchasing the seeds!! If you are looking for something to cross into your home strain, or have a good yielder that lacks punch and flavour, white widow will not disappoint on the breeding front either. Its major THC content seems to be dominant when used as a mother, and will frost up near any strain.

I was eager to try the legend of the White Widow. This was only my fifth indoor grow, so I planted 3 along with an unknown sativa bagseed. All three popped quickly and really took off. Ended up with two females. During veg, the WW handled all the nutes I threw at it (Dyna Gro), but during flower, sh ...continued

It took 53 days of flowering to acheive max potency. I harvested 2 ounces per plant and its all for personal ...continued

I found White Widow to a decent plant not much of a smell or taste. Looks real good big dense nugs covered in crystals. Plants tend to add about 2/3 of there size during flowering. I have grown around 6 crops of the widow and have seen it grown in many other gardens. Have used Pure Blend, Roots Orga ...continued
