I read in the faq that pure sativa strains can take 2-4 months to complete flowering. I'm using a 1000 watt enhanced spectrum MH (agrosun) and soil. Any help would be appreciated.

widow takes around 10 weeks.

Anybody else agree/disagree?

Hey I think it may take 9-10. I have WW's going now and its seems to be coming along slow. Im used to shorter flowering peroids. I have 1000W Hps, no reflecting material on the wall, (yet). Its been about 5 weeks now, I have some nice small buds, only fed it flowering nutes one time, a really weak solution cause I flushed after the veg nutes. Now Im gonna feed it really good this time. I find myself watering/feeding it like once every 5-6 days. I plan to flush in between feedings. Temp 85 F, fresh air, Hum 55%. Any suggestions?

geeeeez I have never grow ww before but I my self am using 1000w hps bulb and in my 8th week of flowering, lots of buds but it's like watching paint dry and they dont seem to be bulking up. this has me concerned, i use a cap full of fish e per gal, even did a transplant a week ago to see if that would help, but i don't know what gives here, and they grew 6ft tall which is ok I suppose........ if the buds would get bigger, but there not....... why??????

ide say 10 weeks.

but if you dont wana do it that way.

just go by the Trics. and what kinda high you want from the buds.

My WW grow was about the same. Tall and lanky with small buds that aren't real tight. I harvested too soon on the first grow at 9 - 10 weeks. I got one in the "room" now at about 10 weeks and trics are still clear with some milky. The WW trics are smaller than my skunkberry trics, probably a sativa thing but I haven't grown pure sativa...yet so the experts could talk on that. I'm gonna let her go another 2 weeks and see what's up then. The beans came from BDS in 2006.

How much more size do you get out of WW after Flowering begins?

I imagine every strain varies, but typically it is said that you can expect 2-3 times growth from begining of flower cycle to harvest.
