So your white widow is fruity smelling? Definitely not white widow. And not dogging it at all. But I'd say it's safe to say I have run more white widow than anyone on here. By several different breeders. As well as black widow. The original white widow..?????? None of them have been fruity. Except one from nirvana back acouple years ago. But real white widow isnt fruity at all. Not in the slightest. And that's way too sativa leaning to be white widow. Real white widow is straight earthy wood with jus a tad of floral on the back end. If I was guessing I'd say I've run around 17 different breeder white widow strains. And around 60 runs of it. But what gets me is you said its black widow from mr. nice. Which should be the real deal. From shanti. Apparently he lost the parents. Is it from an old pack or newer recently ordered pack. I have a few packs from when shanti was still with GHS. And a few packs from when he left brought out black widow. They were very close in resemblance. From GHS to Mr. Nice. But none of those were fruity in the least. And I run entire packs of them. Like I said above the only fruity one was from nirvana. And it looked nothing like it or smelled like it. But yours looks good nonetheless.

Edit: and real white widow finishes in 60-63 days. How long did it take to finish first run?
I grew out a WW from DP, it took forever to finish and was fruity as all get out. Ended up with just over 2lbs from her. Was excellent smoke and a perfect hybrid, everyone raved over it. Must not have been the real deal though...WW 11-23-16.JPG

Beautiful flower. But that doesnt even have anything remotely close in bud structure to ww. Ww has almost perfect xmas tree nugs. Shes a medium yielder. Although with a long veg and several toppings she will produce. Very dense nugs. Almost fuzzy looking. Light green calyxes. Small calyxes. Very tight spacing. She is very indica dom. Grows more bushy than vertical when left untopped. I've run it so many different ways. I actually run one pheno I found for over 6 years. The clones lost so much vigor by the very last run. She seemed to grow like ogkb dom plants by the end. She smelled like fresh dirt and old wet fire wood. That mossy dirt smell. But she would lock your ass to a couch. Very hard head buzz. Make you forget things alot.

WW is acrid tasting and smelling, almost gag ya but in a good way. Indica dom. Maybe some fruit or jungle sweet on the backend, but..............jmho. Once you had it won't forget that taste
Yeah like I said I only had one that had any fruit. And it was nirvana. I have a few packs from the 1995 release that won the cup. That I've been dying to pop. But I jus cant bring myself to open them.

What's your thoughts about Ingemar and his claim to WW.

For those interested:

So I go into my area a few nights ago, and noticed a slight hum coming from my ballast. So the next day I found a old battery powered radio to do the am radio test. That ballast was throwing RFI noise all the way down the goddamn block, I’m talking a full block away from my house. So I immediately went back and unplugged it, no more noise now.

( this was a cheap brand ballast from the A it lasted a year not continuous use).

I went to the store and bought a new ballast (not cheap this time) now I have no rfi noise coming from the ballasts at 1 foot away ( there is noise at under a foot nothing to worry about)

All ballasts give off some level of RFI. ( as does almost all electronic devices)
Couldn't figure out why the radio in my shop suddenly stopped getting good reception, two hours later the hps lights clicked off for the night, mystery solved!! Moved radio to other side of the shop 20ft and all was well, proved to me even the more $$$ ballasts throw RF interference..

That's weird, I had a fruity type White Widow from Nirvana about 8 to 10 years ago.
Mislabeled packs is all I can think of

Idk man. Hes never gave actual proof of making it. But he did alot of work/breeding for greenhouse back in the day. He says the beans were found in hashish. Shanti says its male from a farmer. That's crossed to his female. If ingemar could provide actual proof. He would go down as the maker of one the worlds most popular commercialized strains. And hes had years to do so. And hasn't. But maybe he just doesn't that spotlight and attention. But one thing I can say for sure. Fruit and WW jus dont go together.

Don't feel like making a thread and you guys generally know your shit. I'm thinking about getting a 4x4 or 5x5 after this flower run, or maybe the next,(depending on how much surplus product I have to "donate" for "donations") and I'm trying to keep costs down. Do you think a cheapish 315 cmh plus the light I built for this cab (6 2ft f strips and a 185-1400) will be enough to fill at least most of it. It would be right at 500w or damn close to it.

Trying to only upgrade your grow with funds from the grow is hard when you start this small lmao

Why not jus buy some more strips and another power supply and DIY and make the light you have bigger. Instead wasting money on a cmh. My f series strips crush the 315 I had.

Edit: what's the price on the 315 you're lookn at?

I kinda want to keep this light for veg, but I'm thinking about just reconfiguring with more strips. I was gonna get a cmh from the home Depot website because my credit union has a rewards system that I can get HD gift cards lol.

I might just get a 3x3 and add a few strips, and some supplemental reds

Ya.. I had plans to dust off my 315 for winter but the strips are hands down beating anything else (including my veros) Ive used. With that said, the 315s have came down a lot from when I bought my sunsystem..
