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 mix, with a sativa predominance.
Vegetative stage:
The younger plants are, the larger are the leaves. They really look like indica during the 3 first weeks of vegetative growth.I was astonished when i remarked trichomes presence during early vegetative growth with quite strong smell.
Blooming stage:
Average stretching (1/3rd of total height before flowering). The whole plant gets heavy covered with white cristals and many white hairs.
Finished with good sized colas and buds with flashy red-orange hairs.
There were very few little buds and near-nodes buds.
Be careful when getting to the end of flowering: this strain has still MANY white pistils when matured. So you should make daily trichome examination with 30x microscope.
Cloning:
I took clones from the fastest developping plants: easy cloning with nearly 100% success. I used standard cloning method (+ Clonex) with scarification.
They rooted very easily into the growing medium (clay balls).
They looked strange (distorted leaves, irregular node spacing) at the beginning as I had to revert the mother plants from early flowering to vegetative growth. In fact, my cat had eaten the first clones I had taken; I was forced to switch the mothers back to vegetative growth and take a new batch of clones!
Pruning/Training:
I topped each plant twice in order to get approx. 4 colas/plant.
I tied down the plants 'till the end of stretching: all branches got approximately to same level.
Nutes:
I used Canna Aqua A+B for vegetative growth and then HESI blooming nutes: I never went over 2.0 EC (Total = 0.45 (water) +2 =2.45 EC).
In the middle of flowering the plants got darker: they passed from light green to deep dark green but without signs of nute burn.
I used PK13-14 from 5 weeks before harvest 'till week 7 and let 'em with only GH Ripen during the last 10 days.
Harvesting/Curing:
A very decent yield: I?ve been smokin' 5 joints/day (that's an average of course!) for 1.5 months yet and I think it could last another 2 months more.
I cut the plants, roughly manicured them and hanged 'em in the dark (without fan because then the buds would dry too fast IMO). It took about 2 weeks to dry. I sealed the buds into mason jars and kept one jar for daily smokin' till the others get cured enough.
Buds appearance:
Good sized buds, very hard/compact, VERY sticky
Taste:
The buds taste good but I was kind of disappointed: they had not the best taste I've ever seen. Taste is a little bit harsh (after 1 month curing) with soft acidic flavor like citrus.
Smell:
I think that's the greatest characteristic of this strain (together with heavy resin covering). The odor is VERY strong: be very careful when growing or transporting buds in your pocket/car. It's very hard to describe it: I just could say that it's very pleasant.
Potency:
Very strong weed but I think it can go from heavy mental high (with very low body effect) to serious couch-lock if you let them flower longer. I tried both flowering duration ("normal":55 days and "long":70 days): IMO you shouldn't let them flower too long or you'll get rapidly tired of those baseball bat hits on your head, eyes and legs when you smoke it. If you let them about 55 days, you'll get a very nice uplifting and strong high, without ANY paranoia/anxiety and you can still do things (with happiness!) after smoking a joint (work, drive etc.).
I'd also recommend to make hash with all those magnificent leaves covered with resin: the effect then is quite strong, taste & smell are great but far more couch-lock than smokin? buds.
Conclusion:
This is the best weed I have ever grown in terms of potency (I LOVE this high!) and yield.
It's a very easy to grow strain and also easy to clone.

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

-Seeds were placed in 1" rockwool cubes, and given extremely dilute flowering fertilizer to promote rooting.
-When seedlings showed tru ...continued

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

No major probs other than this plant the lanky phenotype can be a bit temperamental to a rise in feed strength, whilst the more squat version of the widow seems a bit more resileant, overall a quality plant.
All the guaranteed f/m seeds turned out female, all seeds germinated within 20 hours, clo ...continued
