is this white widow?

Too early! Even if it's an indica you'd be early starting flush. I agree this looks like a sativa dominate, which can take 10-12 weeks to be ready.


Utilize the microscope to judge timing, Look at the Trichomes, once they are ALL 100% cloudy and none are clear, that would be early,... As I understand thats the time to start flushing, once some have started to turn amber its about perfect time to harvest.


If your running more than one plant of the same strain,... cut over the course of a week and decide for yourself when the right time to harvest is and log that for your next grow.

canniwhatsis Reviewed by canniwhatsis on 07-28-2010. is this white widow? so it is near the end of my grow and i am getting lost in the knolwedge. i went out and got that infamous 100x microscope from radio shack. heres what i see i see the trichs but what are the hairs? do the contain thc? i know to hang dry for a while but why let them sit in a jar for a few weeks opening it every day? whats happening in there? in the area that i first started to see the white hairs...when i look there now it looks like a seed sack only it has hairs comeing out of Rating: 5

give them nutes as long as the plants are still growing/expanding...:thumbsup:..if your lighting is weak?...this adds time...lots of it

when all growth stops...you stop!...and wait for a little amber...my WW's take 11 weeks flowering to reach 5% amber

that pic looks alot like WW's...it's not bagseed...IMO

I prefer growing Clones SoG style indoors, and growing mothers from seed outdoors.

Try growing clones next time. You wont have to worry about males or hermies unless something goes seriously wrong. Just a friendly suggestion. *Shrugs*

After even more inspection, I am positive it is not WW. White Widow has purple vertical lines running through the main stem, along with all of the other discrepencies I described previously, such as fan leaf shape. Case closed.

Widow doesn't always have purpling. A lot of these individual characteristics you keep pointing out could be environmental or nutrient deficiencies or something to that effect. Have you seen how many breeders put out seeds of WW? Then take all the phenotypes you may see from all those breeders, it becomes difficult to say with any certainty what something is or isn't. His WW would look different than yours, as both of yours probably look different than the WW I grew.

Can't really close the case at any point. Can't really open a case either tho. Just have to let this momma flower out, and if you are happy with the smoke in the end, who cares what it's called. I know I don't.

ya, there is alot of things i would do dif next time...if there is one, my gf wont let me do it in my own home agean...so i got to find a buddy that has extra room and then ill do it right.

the CFL's work for 1 or 2 plants...any more then you are going to invest just as much as a smaller HPS and MH. i think a combo is the best, then you wont have to get the HPS/MH so close and you can place the CFLs on the side...

my dumb ass put a ton of seeds in one put...then when they all sprouted i went and dot 6 pots...for 15 plants...i ended up with 5 in their own pot and then 2 pots that had 5 each. by the time i found out that this was a BIG no no it was to late...this is got i got my hermies, i think. either way they fought for space and stole each others food. some stayed only 8 or 10 inches and had no side shoots after two and a half months..then before i knew it they had balls!!. they were flowering so i choped them down...im actualy smokeing some now and its WAY better tha i expected....looks like shit home grown but WEEEEEEE

i didnt start on nutes untill flowering, wish i had used some in veg...they all work togeather right? anyways i also didnt pay atention to the feeding chart over fed them for a while..another NONO!! i didnt burn them bad at all, they allways looked good other than a few blemishis here and there. their food is POTENT and the directiond are there for a reason.

i didnt use perlite or anything realy. just some mg shit. i got lucky so far with drainage. HAHA now that i think of it one of my biggest mistakes was not filling he pots all the way with soil...that was stupid, instead of transplanting later i had to fill a pot with soil about 4 or 6 inches and then transplant and fill in the dirt around the sides

i am posting my mistakes so someone reading this doesnt make the same mistakes, not so you all can talk trash and call me stupid OK!! only i can call me stupid!! haha


HERE IS A SAD PLANT THAT WANTS ITS OWN POT...

Agreed. It doesn't really matter what it is as long as you are happy with the end product.

I grow Greenhouse White Widow both indoors and outdoors. The characteristics I speak of are related to the original strain that was introduced in 1994 and won the Cannabis Cup in 1995.

All of that to the side though.... the leaves are incosistent with an indica dominant strain. That is the real dead give away.

ok i "third" the whole who cares about the name thing..as long as it smoked well ill be happy..i took a rip this morning of the almost dried hermie i cut down only 3 weeks in to flowering. i no longer care about the name but. it would be nice to know what this is tho
