If you know what you're doing, you'll be fine with regular seeds - they generally cost about 1/2 of what feminized seeds go for within the same breeder's catalog.
(I'm sure you noticed that Nirvana's 10-packs of regulars are exactly the same price as their feminized 5-packs within the same strain.)

However, if you're not skilled at identifying/isolating any males, you could run into problems. People I know who are low on space or don't want to run the risk of having any male pollen floating around say that feminized seeds are well worth it. (I've also noticed that Europeans will stick with feminized seeds more often while Americans are much more willing to go with regular seeds, and that many American breeders don't bother with creating feminized versions. No judgments - just an observation.)

There are also mistakes that will increase the number of males you may get (you've heard stories I'm sure where someone germs 5 seeds and 4 turn out to be male) - the same mistakes can make feminized seeds turn hermie.

With White Widow, I've noticed that some brands describe theirs as Sativa dominant while others describe them as Indica dominant. That's not to say that they're not all equally good - they're just obviously not the same, so if you've used White Widow before, you might not get what you expect unless you carefully at the specs.

If you ordered White Widow from Nirvana, I'm sure you'll get the classic strain - they stick pretty much to the standard formula.
cannabis-seeds Reviewed by cannabis-seeds on . Is white widow still worth your while? I'm a noob and white widow was the best going in my younger days. I am wondering if its still a good choice when compared with all the new stuff out. I've been lurking around here and haven't heard many people say anything about it. Also would this be a somewhat forgiving strain lending itself to live through my noobness? Thanks Rating: 5
