Never grew any of the Widows.
I mean they get tall, take up a lot of space, are difficult to light efficiently, and take forever to finish flowering. Which does indeed mean they have a greater chance of dying in the hands of a new grower lol since SO many first-time grows end up in a race with the clock to finish the plant before cultural problems catch up with it.
Plus the bud density on sativas can be disappointingly low. Stick with something designed for indoors while you are learning. NL, Skunk, Afghani, Power Plant, etc...
