dinafem blue widow started life as a triploid. lst'd then topped to achieve 50 tops.
at week 2 flowering cut out about 5 tops then week 5 cut out 5 more all these were smaller and lagging behind.
week 10 since flip. i call it week 8 of actually flowering. have 2-3 weeks left.
grown under ~500w cfls. grown fully organic in reammended super soil mix.
added glacial rock dust, epsom salts, hi p bat guano every 2-3 weeks during flowering.
took 2 buds today to see the difference between taste/potency at week 8 and 10.
breeder claims 8 weeks but from all i have seen 10-11 weeks makes for much better yield.
but may not be willing to give up taste for yield we will sees.
pics of plant were taken at week 7. trimmed buds are week 8.
last 2 tried to put white paper over flash.
I received this girl as a clone, it was said to be UK Cheese. I have never grown a Cheese hybrid before so I have nothing to compare it with regarding lineage. This clone produces flowers which smell like rotting milk, not cheese, rotting milk.. I have never smelled a strain/hybrid like it before.
not the best pics but show a bit more of the frost of the blue widow.
first one is buds at 8 weeks dried for 4 days then cured for 3. started out 10g wet now 4g
last 3 are of 8 buds taken at week 9. 5 weighed 6.5g wet all 8 toatalled 46g. so should get around 12-15g dried.
will let last 30 or so tops go to 10-11 weeks.
found a couple nanner's this morning upon closer inspection found 1 seed.
this was a triploid and after a bit more research this seems to be common.
i don't know if i would buy again for fact of hermie issues and have read a decent amount of people have trouble.
as for growing was easy and trouble free up to that point. but smell is of straight blueberries til week 6-7 then a bit of chemically/acid mixed in now.
but when dried goes back to a sweet blueberry. as for taste/high cannot comment have not smoked any yet.
