What's with the Attitudes White Widow descriptions? They all say to put the plant in total darkness for the last two weeks or not more than 8 hrs of light. Has anyone ever heard of this working? I checked the breeders site Nirvana, Greenhouse and Seedsmans but they don't say to do this. I have Seedsmans White Widow in flower now at 7 weeks, should I put them into total darkness or what? Thanks for any help you can give me.:-?

I gave my white widows 24-48 hours of darkness right before I chopped. Not sure if it made a difference in resin production or not but they were STICKY!:weed:

maybe it promotes resin production through the hormones but I would check every day to make sure u aren't producing many seeds in that two weeks.

I'm about a week into flowering a small WW right now and I'm going to try this. Possibly 8/16 on the ninth week and then darkness on the last. What's life without a little experimentation, right? If I get seeds I'll just plant them and see what they do.

You won't get seeds people. You might get pollen sacs (hermies) but you won't get seeds. Even if balls sprouted during the last 2 weeks there isn't enough time for the plant to make seeds. Also you don't want to use seeds from a self pollinated hermie. You will be at greater risk for hermies with seeds from a self pollinated hermie. :weed:

ya I just mean like later in flowering maybe if they got pollenated right before the switch it would suck. anwyays that stuff happens just happened to my buddy he had seeds everywhere and doesn't know which one hermed.

The plant would have to herm before fucking with the lights in the last week or 2. It will stress the plants and could cause them to sprout balls but there isn't enough time for the plants to produce seeds in 1-2 weeks. I've had a couple of hermies in my day. :peace:

I wasn't saying the extended dark period would cause hermies, I was saying if there is a herm and you just leave the lights off and peace out for two weeks your chances of coming back to fat seeds all over gets higher and higher versus if you check it and find seed production early you can harvest it before its all seeded. but if you know which plant hermed its better you can get fem seeds.

well the attitude thing says for doggies nuts white widow #1

Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all
so it may just be strain specific after 8 weeks the girl stops wanting to bud and starts regrowing again - leafs you won't want in the bud. turn the lights out and the green doesn't grow but the juicy resin flow
