growing white widow outdoors is not like indoors, the 8-9 weeks of flowering is on an indoor light schedule where you can control the light, you can't control light outside, if you start indoors in the winter you can take outside to flower in the spring, but summer days are too long. if you plant in spring expect that outside ww should be ready around late sept-early oct. but that's for me in michigan climate.

doczoidberg - What is a good strain for MI outdoors? Going to try and do some LR2 but looking for something else. Might try some WW but have ran into problems before with short season and worrying about small game etc.

What part of Michigan, if i may ask? I grew it last year in Central Minnesota, and it finished the last weekend in September. Honestly, I would have liked to have given it another week, but we were getting really cool rainy weather and I was starting to get some mold problems. Had to give 'em the chop a little early.

Still a damned good smoke, though - just got wasted on it again last night. But it's probably a borderline strain for this far north. I think I'm going to go with earlier finishers this year.

right now i'd have to say that a northern light strain or something x'd with it.....(i have some nl x skunk that says it finished in sept) most seed banks will tell you what month you can harvest outdoors and it's pretty accurate for michigan.

there's also all the early strains like early pearl, early girl, speed queen.....


you should start some lr2's right now for a seed crop, unless you have alot of beans already. i have quiet a few and i will start harvesting outdoors in the end of may. i will have about a ten plant harvest every week untill the end of august... about 12-13, then in october i will get the big girls.

Yep. I hear ya, Doc. That's part of the reason why I chopped my girls the last week of September last year; we had a somewhat hard frost, followed by cool rainy weather. The frost weakened them, and I knew they didn't have much fight left in 'em.

What kind of yield do you get with WW down in your neck of the woods? this was the first time I ever grew it, and I was disappointed. I had some nice 6-footers, and when all was said and done i only averaged an ounce and a half per plant, dry weight. I think if I'd had a longer season, the buds would have filled out a bit more. As much as i like the high, I just don't think the Twin Cities is the right latitude for that strain.

I am further north. I am doing exactly as you suggested...going to try and produce some LR2 beans. Just started them on the 23rd. Harvesting the end of May huh? I am hoping to put some in the ground around the end of May lol.You ever do any WW outdoors? I have some sweet purple I want to try out but they are suppose to get like 8 feet tall. Feel a bit nervous trying to pull off small trees. Thanks for the info.

ww should give you 4-6 oz outside.... were you takin good care of em? maybe they weren't getting six hours of direct light a day? that's kinda crazy you only got 1.5.

sweet purple should be a good one, i think most of the purples would do alright in mi. i did new purple power and had good results as far as yield goes, but smoke was about a 5 out of 10.

don't forget you can lst oustide.... or top, you can keep it down if you want to.
