Hey guys,

I've heard that white widow produces more crystals with 2 extra weeks of flowering but with a light period of just 8 hours.

Does anyone know if this is true or indeed worth extra time?

Cheers.

idk but supplement every day about an hour with a reptile uv lamp and you can increase thc, also you can force stress in the last few weeks by giving them really cold water or poking the stem with a thumbtack and it will increase thc.

the uv light thing was kind of true, the rest are nonsense. Stressing your plant out will just fuck it up, not increase thc. a thumbtack through the stem does not help you get more thc either.
original poster-Where did you hear this? can they back it up with good detailed info of a controlled study? if not they havent proved it they are just talking out their ass, they can say it works, but try to see if any of them can actually back their ridiculous claim up.

8 or 10 weeks depends on your specific White Widow phenotype. Buys a magnifying glass and watcht the trichomes. The head on the mushroom needs to be white and not clear. When amber color THC is decaying. Harvest when you see amber - next time harvest a week earlier, since plant and trichomes will continue maturing even a week after harvest.
I just give my widows a week of darknes and trichomes really boost out of the plants like that.

Also - don't get too nerdy about that - your widows will be excellent as long as you have healthy plants - don't worry too much about anything else ;O))

Hope this helps you decide.

when a true sinsemillia plant is stressed it will produce more thc as its desperately trying to collect pollen before it dies, you stress it about a week before you havest so it doesnt matter if you fuck it up,

thc has three functions, a basic sunblock to protect the uv sensitive calyx's, a sticky substance to aid in trapping pollen, and getting me toasted. so naturally both pre-harvest force stress and u.v supplementing are logically sound, maybe I was just too lazy to type all this shit out in the first place under the assumption that nay-sayers such as yourself might at least try googling these "ridiculous claims" before dismissing them in such a rude manner.

obviously you haven't been studying as long as me buddeh

on another note wouldn't you agree that LST has a potential to increase yield and potency? (as there are more top colas:) and doesn't LST stand for low stress training? I'm not saying that stressing them out to increase yield/potency is the tits just that it has the potential to work. I for one will be trying it soon (with a control of course)

and can you even back up your claim that my claim is wrong? its seeming like i'm not the one talking out his ass...
I mean your comeback to my facts was "Ive done countless months of research blah blah blah I guess you haven't" wheres your facts? I haven't seen one, just some poor disposition.

I'm not an amateur I've been studying for years growing for years and unfortunately been on this website arguing with folks like yourself for years.

poking anything into a bush is generally a good thing .. unless it results in an infection . as long as your clean show your epeen , but if shes poked with a dirty dirty she may die .

the end

well, have you ever heard of a thing called botany? its pretty simple really, your trying to tell people to screw up their plants right when it matters the most. I have nothing to prove to you, im not making outlandish claims. why dont you make a thread about those subjects and see how many experienced growers feel about it.

dont you realize i wasnt talking to you anymore when i said that?

your ideas make sense if you dont really understand growing yet, i wasnt making fun of you, i was telling you not to believe in stupid stuff just cuz its supposed to work, why do people always assume we nay sayers have never tried it ourselves btw?
