Germinated 5 seeds in Jiffy peat pellets, had sprouts in 3 days, 100 % germination. If I remember right, 1 sprouted a day later. Repotted into 16 oz drink cups with plain jungle growth potting soil till about 6" in height. Repotted into 1 gallon pots in a soil mix of jungle growth potting soil, blood and bone meal, black kow composted cow manure, and perlite. Fertilized once with Pure Blend veg 1.0-.5-1.0 at around the 6th week in veg, Maxi-Crop .1-1.0-1.0 seaweed stuff about every third watering. Vegged for approximately 8 weeks, 14-16 inches, 4 females, 1 male, however only one or two showed sex before going into 12/12. Phenotype in veg was very similar, a couple a little taller than the others. Nice wide leaves, dark green in color. I thought the internode spacing might be a bit elongated, but I sure saw I was wrong in flower they filled out nicely. I topped 3 and left the shorter one to do what it desired.

Flowering got into full swing maybe 7-10 days after going 12/12. I fertilized religiously once a week with Pure Blend bloom .5-.5-1.0 and the aforementioned Maxi-Crop. The one untopped plant grew into a nice christmas tree shape with a nice fat main cola, wish I had better light for the lower branches. The topped ones were somewhat different in that one had 4 huge main branches that put out some impressive colas, the other 2 ended up being similar but somewhat scrawnier. I was going for 10 weeks on all of them, but wanted to try the recommended final 2 weeks in the dark so I used the 2 smaller ones for that little experiment. Unfortunately I only got thru about a week of that and chopped those 2 at around 9 weeks. From what I saw, I see no benefit to 1 week darkness, don't see 2 making any difference either. The larger ones went a full ten weeks and finished out quite nicely. I didn't keep individual plant yields, but got about 10 z's off the 4 total.

The smoke was pleasing, nice sweet taste with an earthy body, somewhat like playdoh. Not sickeningly sweet and with a hint of spice. The high is quite up and heady, with maybe a little drooping of the eyelids after a couple hours, but another bowl remedies that. The bud cured with a nice "crust" of trichomes that was quite pleasing. I rated White Widow a 7 overall due to the 10 week finishing time and erratic growth pheno's

It was way one indica side, which really surprised me. It reminds me alot of Misty, but is more potent. The high/stone had a alot of great effects. It gradually builds up, like walking up a mountain, it gets harder and harder, and then when you finally reach the summit, you're like wow, this is a ve ...continued

I love this plant. Grew quick (in veg) and easily although I felt the flowering time was far too long (10 weeks); I wanted to cut 'em down!
Beautiful looking plants in veg and through to flower. For a big grow smell may be an issue but it was fine for me. Careful when moving and checking plants, st

This little thing was a by-product so to say of my main grow, grew it from seed and veg'd for roughly 3 weeks under a 7W (yes, seven watts) compact fluoro desk light. After that it was put in with my main batch under a 250W HPS. During veg and flowering the plant was practically odorless, very handy ...continued

Started 3 seeds, all popped, seedlings were growing very good, you can see some sativa on their veins, seedlings grew kind of tall, not too bad, they were fast growing plants for sure and at 2 weeks the roots were coming out of the bottom of the dixie cups.

I started with 4 seeds all germinated and two were female. One was a little bit taller and yielded a bit more but the bushier one had more white all over.

They were 5 week in veg, growing slowly IMO. They were 11in and 13in before I move to 12/12. I recommend to veg them much more, they don't str

I loved this plant. They grew exceptionally the entire time. I planted 3 seeds and 2 were males. Believe it or not the plant that turned out to be female was twice the size of the males nearly. This girl had a pleasant smell a bit different then most, not really skunky, but you could smell it as ...continued

This garden had only one WW, so my report may not be complete, as I had no different phenos for comparsion.

The plant was tied down in early flowering to assume a more horizontal shape and receive more light. It vegged for about 45 days and started flowering. It flowered for about 55 - 60 days,

This one was started by itself after 2 others and grew very well. It was budded at about a foot and 1/2 tall. It finished at 3 and 1/2 ft. tall. It was stressed and turned hermie early in flowering. Even though it was pollinated early on it was still more potent that the others it was grown with (du ...continued
