White Widow
White widow is a Indica type of weed and is very easy to grow. It doesn't need to be tied up since it has thick stems that will not just bend over like many sativas would. If you are new to growing indoor this will probably give you some great weed even though your growing skills have not been polished yet. You can buy seeds here
White Widow: The Bud You’ll Want to Marry
Though less than a decade old, the relatively new strain known as White Widow has been blowing the collective mind of the weed community ever since its inception. A constant winner of the Cannabis Cup, this crystal-laden work of art has garnered a slew of fans who appreciate its pungent sour and sweet odor that can permeate even the largest of rooms. Earning its nickname from the white THC crystals that adorn its light, sticky bodice, you know before smoking it that this is a nug that gets you high in one rip with a heavy, stony buzz that lasts for hours. Like NYC Diesel, Widow is a hybrid of Sativa and Indica. White Widow, though, has a sixty percent sativa rate compared to the paltry twenty percent boasted by NYC Diesel. This means that the leaves of the Widow are longer and more finger-like, instead of the fat rounded leaves that are the trademark of Indica.
When growing White Widow, you’ll want to follow many of the same guidelines that are expected of growing nearly all forms of marijuana. Since marijuana is an “annual”, it won’t start flowering until winter arrives and the days are shortened. The lack of light for over twelve hours a day triggers the growth mechanism in the pistil. Fortunately for us, marijuana is stoned all the time and we can trick it into thinking it is winter and thus cause it to yield us several harvests a year, about two months after each flowering. White Widow is a very high quality weed, though, and you’ll want to enrich its soil with a healthy mixture of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Purchasing a bag of high grade potting soil should deliver you this combination.
When growing your White Widow, you’ll want to give a bit more nitrogen at first because the early phase requires a lot of it in order to produce fruitful buds. You’ll want to taper this amount off as the buds start to grow and supplant that amount with phosphorous. Don’t overdo the fertilizer, though, or else you’ll run the risk of making your White Widow too pH-heavy. You’ll also want to avoid chemical fertilizers, since this will negatively affect its taste and your health when smoking it. To fully take advantage of White Widow’s funky taste and deep, earthy buzz, you’ll need to remove all of your male plants. This is par for the course for nearly all strains of weed if your aim is to get the best buds but, for White Widow, this caveat is of particular import. You’ll need to wait a while before removing any buds if you want to make sure that you aren’t accidentally removing a female (they look alike until after they start flowering). When you see a bud that seems to have a smaller bud on it and there is no white hair protruding, you can be sure that it is a male when you compare it to a female, which should have white hairs protruding and no little buds coming off of it. The males also may be taller and have thicker stems and less leaves. You’ll want to take these guys out of the equation before they start pollinating your females and messing up the natural progression of some really funky herbage.
If you did the job right you should notice the trademark crystal coverage that belies White Widow’s super potent high. Congratulations and accolades all around! That harvest should last you a while, considering a bowl of the Widow can get a whole group baked for hours and staring at the wall!
