Average White Widow Flowering Time

I have a few White Widow plants that just finished up their 7th week of flowering. I ordered the seeds from Attitude, but to be honest I can't remember the breeder. So, I can't really reference that.

I'm noticing a nice change in color on the hairs starting to turn an auburn hue. This is my first grow so I'm somewhat unfamiliar flowering times and when to harvest. I know I still have to check color and triches, but does anyone have an average flowering time on widow?

Am I looking at a minimum of 9 weeks? Should I start thinking about flushing now in my 8th week?

I'm just not really sure where I am with this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm cutting my White Widow down tomorrow... it was a freak plant that started as a clone in February. It appears to get mostly orange hairs when its done (more so than your average plant) so it sounds like you're getting there with the "amber hue". However I had a really long wait for this one, so whoever said 9 to 11 weeks is probably more correct. The nugs will really fill out while its doing that amber thing, and then eventually just slow down and get a bit more amber... then you'll notice the plant isn't making much more progress... thats when i cut it.

Well, I'm about to roll over into my 12th week now. I'm a little concerned only because it's just not changing colors like I had hoped. I think I'm going to watch it another week and see what happens.

Its very common for white widow to go 11 weeks, but 12 is a bit more uncommon. Id get a scope and check those trichs. Look for a lollypop that has a smoky tint and harvest when 70-80% have that look. I dont know what the proper word is for this, but even when you harvest and dry your bud is still alive. So if you harvest at 80% amber trichs than your herb should be perfect by the time its done drying and curing.

Somewhat old thread, but anyway. I have 8 beauty WW ladies on the go. They are Day56 today. All are f=ready to go, beautiful huge colas (sorry no pics) with milky trichs and covered in red hairs. So, my experience (5th White Widow only grow) is that WW flowering time is indeed between 8-9 weeks. If I left my plants to 11 they would be well past their prime. Again, just my experience, best of luck to all.

I'll be 45 in the morning :) but I feel like she's about ready! I can't imagine it going past 9 weeks. I've noticed or at least it seems as if my little girl is getting lighter in weight. Is that normal or am I just making shit up in my head here??? It also seems as if my buds SHRUNK!!! That explains the weight change but does anyone know why they would shrink? I'm super confused! Any ideas would be awesome!

I imagine the dude has harvested by now if not something has gone terribly wrong. :bigjoint:

But yeah 8 weeks my ass breeders are full of shit if it's real Widow 9-11 is average not many plants are done in 8 weeks no matter what the breeders tell you.

Breeders have also been growing for a large portion of their life. Growing has been almost perfected and they are probably using only the top products with c02 you know the works. Imo go get a 40x loupe or a usb cam that you can check the trics on like a molecular level or some shit. Also cool chart

Mines 53 days old today and looking close to done. Still have white hairs popping out the top of colas so probably 10 days or so.
