Question for all you White Widow growers out there ... WHAT is the most yield you have ever pulled off one plant? I'm very interested to hear outdoor #s, but curious what indoor is pulling in for comparison.
That looks so delicious! Thx for sharing brotha! Much appreciateddinafem white widow, looked like it was a really small yeild on the plant but the buds were rock hard and sticky as hell. yeiled 1 and a half ounces off 1 plant under completely cfl and thats bone dry weight. go for it, its a damn good plant

Do you let those go longer than 8-9 weeks to finish??? I'm thinking I could potentially let mine go 9-10, but I guess it will all come down to what those lovely trichs say in 6-7 weeks.dinafem white widow, looked like it was a really small yeild on the plant but the buds were rock hard and sticky as hell. yeiled 1 and a half ounces off 1 plant under completely cfl and thats bone dry weight. go for it, its a damn good plant

in the pics they are nearly 7 weeks in 12/12 , we cut them at about the 8.5 week mark and trichs were around 5% translucent, 15% amber and 80% cloudy, the high was super relaxing and strong but weirdly not lethargic or couchlock - like , we had some other pot of gold plants that we left for a lot longer and they had a stronger high but were far more of a lazy high. It depends what kind of high your looking for, most people tend to favour the strong indica couch lock high that comes with leaving your plants go for a bit longer.Do you let those go longer than 8-9 weeks to finish???

Ya, I'm aware that you can give Indicas a "sative-like" high by clipping them around that earlier phase. It's mainly because a lot of the cannabinoids in the bud start to convert to higher CBN & CBD (the two main couch locking chemicals in cannabis) as you let them go longer. I am def more of a head high kind of guy. I just want to allow my plants to get maximum yield. Although the Widow & StarTrek are kinda more my top shelf stash strains, so I guess I wouldn't mind pulling them a bit earlier and sacrificing a touch more weight. 8 1/2 weeks it is (unless they aren't even cloudy at that point, I'll go 9-10)in the pics they are nearly 7 weeks in 12/12 , we cut them at about the 8.5 week mark and trichs were around 5% translucent, 15% amber and 80% cloudy, the high was super relaxing and strong but weirdly not lethargic or couchlock - like , we had some other pot of gold plants that we left for a lot longer and they had a stronger high but were far more of a lazy high.

Nice! Not very often I hear of people reaching 1g per watt under 600watts. Usually I've heard people need 1,000 watt lumen output to achieve such results. Way to go!yielded 1 1/4 lb from 10 plants under 600 watts indoors flowed for 8 weeks had to harvest early could have gone another week, all ff nuts and ffof soil 3 gal pots

I'm glad to hear those strong effects of this strain. I know lots of breeders have their own Widows which vary slightly in consistency, but I've heard an avg 20% THC? The highest I've smoked prob came close to 25-26%, and I'm convinced that was about as good as it gets! The sick thing is ... I know there's better, and it's only going to get stronger! haha
How do you finish your widows in the final month down to flush? PK spike? Carboload? What is the process/length of your flush?
Much appreciated responses brother!
Yes, that was extremely helpful! I will take that advice to heart. Thank you for taking the time for that detailed response. I always try to do that for others on this site, but it seems many people hold back with their advice and keep it short.well i was taught that any nutrient deficiency (such as nitrogen) in the flowering stage would impede growth and reduce overall yeilds, with experience i have found this to be true, so i don't do pk spikes , mj needs sustained levels of P during all of flowering and will tolerate high levels throughout its life, i prefer amending the soil with a slow release P organic fertiliser (such as bat guano) before planting and then using a regular blooming NPK fertiliser. I like my plants to have deep green leaves throughout flowering until flush. Organic, un-sulphured black strap molasses is what you need as it is a pure and powerful way to get carbs into the plants and from personal experience i know it works and its cheap. use 2ml per litre or 10ml per gallon on every other watering on week 1-3 of 12/12 and bump it up to 4ml per litre on every other watering on week 4-7, you can choose to bump it up again to 5-6ml for the remaining weeks, some choose to continue the molasses through to harvest but i stop half way through flushing.
I normally begin flushing on the cusp of them being ripe , when the trichs are 2% amber and mainly cloudy, i use 15litre pots for each plant so i flush it through with 45litres, i use lots of perlite as lots of oxygen really speeds up growth and makes the flush drain faster and more effectively, a effective flush with plants growing at optimum levels will make the plants show nutrient deficiencies within 48 hours, i normally flush and feed with plain water for 1-2 weeks depending on the progression of ripeness. the longer the flush, gernerally means the smoother the smoke.
hope that helps

I vegged her for almost 3 months. She definitely stood out among the rest of them. Her yields were almost double any of my other white widows. She had the familiar white widow smell and taste but leans a little heavier on the sativa side as far as the buzz is concerned. I am still working with this pheno because she was an almost perfect balance of yield and potency.That's very impressive. I know Widow can yield 1-2 lbs, but I thought that was outdoor only. Kudos for getting decently close to that 1lb mark!
Do you think it has slightly altered genetics from the others?
I pulled almost 10 ounces off of this one from seed. She was a much heavier yielder than all of my other white widows.

what breeder is that ww? i gotta get me one of those!I pulled almost 10 ounces off of this one from seed. She was a much heavier yielder than all of my other white widows.
Breeder: Joey Weed
10 ounces trimmed, dried and cured. It was a 6 foot beast at finish. This was about a week before I chopped. Like I said, this pheno yielded more than double my next best pheno! She is a champ yielder and I consistently pull 5-6 ounces from her in my perpetual. I grew her so large in the beginning because I always let them go at least 8-10 weeks from seed before taking cuttings. Because of the holidays they had to go about an extra week or 2 in veg so I didn't have to be chopping until after the holidays were over. The breeder is Joey Weed and you can pick up his gear at hempdepot. I can personally vouch for his white widow and blueberry. I also found an amazing keeper blueberry pheno that is the most amazing blueberry I've ever smoked...........and I've smoked a looooooot of blueberry!what breeder is that ww? i gotta get me one of those!
not many, pot of gold by flying dutchmen, alot of my friends grow but i havnt actually started growing myself until now really.Yes, that was extremely helpful! I will take that advice to heart.

So what other strains do you have good experience with aside from white widow?
Pot of Gold is a good strain from what I remember. Been so long. More of an indica, right? I remember small, dense, tight nugs n a couchlock high.not many, pot of gold by flying dutchmen, alot of my friends grow but i havnt actually started growing myself until now really.
Awesome bro! That's pretty sick. I was gonna say, it def looked like it had more sativa development. Indica genes would have left it more compact. My widow is crazy. The flowers are only on week 2 and the secondary leaves are already thriched out haha i love itI vegged her for almost 3 months. She definitely stood out among the rest of them. Her yields were almost double any of my other white widows. She had the familiar white widow smell and taste but leans a little heavier on the sativa side as far as the buzz is concerned.
