White Widow Height Discussion

[razzapiggy]

Never grown WW before... my ceilings are 7.75 feet tall, but due to the resi, light, space in between lights, tables etc I only have 3.25-3.5 feet of available vertical growth. Have you grown WW that small and how was your yield? I am looking for 1 pound per 4X4 area, under 1000 watt lamps.

I have been told they double in height during flower and get a bit branchy... seems from researching on the net that's one of two of the Phenotypes - the other being one cola short compact plants.

Anyhow, I can rip out the tables in there and set up a new irrigation system, but it would be easier this way... I need to decide within a few days. Tell me about your WW - where did you flower? Where did they end up? What was your yield? Lights?

Thanks!!

I grew a WW. I too had heard that they stretched a lot and got branchy, so, being that I grow in a 2 X 2 X 4' high cabinet, I was a little worried. I decided on a short veg of only 2.5 weeks, and no LST or topping.
Here's what I ended up with.. Grown under a 400 HPS from start to finish.
She weighed 1.5oz dry. Killer smoke though!

Smoke looks great my friend, good work!

How tall was she when you flowered her and where did she end up?

Appears you had other phenotypes involved with your WW... I was told these become much more branchy than what I'm seeing from your plant - but the same type of dense power packed nugs!

Awesome work!

Oops, too stoned to read.. you answered most of my questions in your original post besides how big the containers are>

I love the white widow....:thumbsup:

2 plants, 10 inch pots, about 4.5ft tall (in the pot), no LST, no triming. 400 watt CMH.

Dutch... how long did you veg? How tall were they when you flowered? How was the yield?

Does this bitch like to be topped?

1. 30 days veg, unless they show, preflowers sooner..(the short one of these did)...about 12-15 inches tall at start of flowering. The taller one didn't show it's sex; until 10 days into 12/12 cycle...Go figure?

2. The yield is in the jars...I have no interest in weight...(350-500 gm?) only volume...(I like it loud....:rastabanna:..)

3. I don't top plants. I just like the way they look, naturally.

[razzapiggy]

Daaaaaamn, you flowered at 12-15 inches and they ended up 60+ inches!?

That's effin nuts. 4X their height in flower?

If I have not cocked up my maths, I am on day 42 of flower and my tallest white widow is about 55" tall, under a 250w HPS, regular pot ups, BioBizz nutes and no training or topping. I put them into 12/12 when they were about 6 weeks from seed; they were maybe about a foot and a half tall. The others are not that far behind my tall girl, including the one that I topped. You can take a browse through my grow log, I have loads of photos if you are curious.

I would allow for about 3x their growth for flower. I think White Widows respond well to supercropping, so if you get yourself into a bind with space in the first few weeks of flower (when you see the truly insane rate of growth) you can bend the stem over and they tolerate the cruelty for it. They are good plants. :jointsmile:

i scrogged a white widow last harvest, she was intended to go outside so she had been vegging for about 2 months without any training. i decided to see what she would do inside under a 250hps. she was a long and lanky specimen and around 36 inches when i decided to bend her over and train her through a scrog, after placing the screen i vegged for another week and switched to flower, so that was 67 days of veg. she matured in a one gallon grow bag and was fed bio-bloom and high doses of budswel, i have heard that ww doesnt like high nute levels but this one loved it, i harvested about 50-60 grams of super high grade bud offa that girl and it was dense as shit too, im glad i still have some seeds laying around.
oh by the way i got the beans from nirvana. i've heard that nirvana's ww tends to lean toward the lanky side
