My widow doesn't smell either, apart from the raw plant smell. If i rub my fingers on the buds then smell my fingers it smells right, like good shit.

once the trimming of the leaves when plants finished it will smell well nice dont worry i had some skunk#1 that only smelt a little but it blew your head off,most people would rather have strong smelling weed than strong weed with alittle smell madness.

if its curling in that usually means a little to much water, check ur stems if there turning a purple/pinkish color its to much water.

I grow a White Widow hybrid and it doesn't really smell at all. A very light fruity smell if anything. I've been growing it for about a year now and what tyke1973 said is correct. It gets pretty stinky while you are trimming the buds after harvest. After a month of cure, look out!! It gets real funky. I prefer strains that don't smell while growing.

Your leaf problem would best be helped with a picture. The canoe shape you describe is usually from heat but the curling could be other things.

I've never noticed my WW (Dutch Passion) to be a big smeller. Long as it smells good on your fingers after you touch it you are golden.

Yea dude, looks alright but you should flush them ASAP. That curling downwards of the leaves is from salt buildup. When the roots "digest" and absorb the nutrients the byproduct is salt. If you don't rinse this salt out of your pot periodically it builds up and causes problems. Just pour A LOT of plain ph'd water through your pots. 1.5 to 2 times the volume of your pots. Then right afterwards give them a regular feeding. All you want to do is clean out your soil and make sure only fresh nutes are in there.

That may also be contributing to your problem. It is VERY important to adjust the ph of your water before you feed your plants. At improper ph levels, the roots will not absorb certain nutrients and you will have major problems. I guess for you to have made it this far the water you are using is pretty close to the right range. But I would definitely go to a pet store and get a ph tester kit for fish tanks. For soil, you want your water to be from 6.3-6.7. That is the ideal range. You can use plain white vinegar to drop the ph down. Most tap water is higher than 7.0ph.

For the flushing, use more water than you think is necessary. Really clean them out good. Just make sure you wait until the soil is dry until you water the next time. And don't forget to feed right afterwards. Flushing with just water will take away all the nutes in the pots. Need to replace with fresh nutes.

I have had the same issue on all accounts. My white widow doesn't really smell at all until you touch it. But once you cure it it will smell fruity and real dank so don't worry about that.

The leaf curl is some kind of nutrient overage. I get it from time to ime and I'm not sure exactly why. I always follow the exact same feeding schedule with clones off the exact same plants but every once in awhile the leaves canoe on me. They will never heal back up to the way they should look and the tips will probably burn off. Flush them hard every day for a week then let the soil dry out for a day or twoand see it should perk right up.

i use the safe water liquid that u can buy from pets stores it takes out the metals and chlorine n tht should i make a bucket of water up with this in it to flush them out??? and do i feed them nutes straight away after flush or do u let the soil dry a little first ???:joint::joint:

Yea, the tap water dechlorinator drops are good. I use them too. But ph is something completely different and way, way more important. I have forgot to add my dechlorinator drops a few times. Nothing bad happened to my plants. I have NEVER forgot to ph my water because I couldn't imagine pouring something into my pots that I don't know the ph of. My tap water comes out at 8.2 ph. That would be very bad news for my plants. They would be absorbing some nutrients and not others and I would get confusing symptoms that look like a combination of most of the pictures in the Plant Abuse Chart in the GrowFAQ LOL.

As far as whether or not to feed right after the flush, I always do but I never let my plants get symptoms quite as severe as you have there. You might want to flush it clean and just leave it for a couple days. You should notice those leaves start to flatten out.
