How long in flowering stage

[fella1415]

I know you can't put en exact number on it but, what's the estimated time in flowering stage? I'm growing White Widow strain under cfl's

[Karlee]

Vegetative Time: At least 2 to 4 weeks if on Bio. On Hydro it is only recommended to grow it for 2 weeks. Flowering Time: On both mediums it is suggested to flower (12 hour light) the White Widow for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after.

Hi Fella

oops exact times LOL

[Chemichael]

8-10 weeks according to strain - Ive 6 going right now in different stages- and training - and I cant wait long enough!

[Tika]

I believe your lights will influence your time as well . The standard time quote by the breeder is only a basic. Only you can tell when you are "done".my White widow finished a week early (I believe) due to my LEDs. The general consensus is 8 weeks as Karlee said. Watch your trichomes. Do you have a loupe?
Enjoy your process

What is a loupe

[Cracker08]

A loupe (LOOP) is a simple, small magnification device used to see small details more closely. Thats all

[Chemichael]

I hope to have some early girls too with the temps I am proving them.

[Tika]

Jewelers loop/loupe. Magnifier and with a light is good. Really helps to observe the development of your trichomes on your bids.

Factor in environment and phenotypic variations and my calculations conclude....

they will be done when they're done

Get a cheap loupe, read Nebula's article on harvesting.

If you just want a general number. I would say 8-9 weeks for indica and 9-10 weeks for sativa. But that is pretty general.

Fem White Widow will be in our next grow. I'm glad to hear, that generally speaking, it's not an extremely long bloomer.

[Royal Nugs]

Believe it or not, white widow is indica dominant. It's effects are pure sativa though. Another strain like this is green crack.

So does that mean the White Widow has a higher or a lower THC content?

THC content is not sativa or indica dependant. Typically sativas have higher thc but this is not always the case. What it means is the white widow has been refined and selectively bred into the sativa-like strain it is.

As I've said before, it's not all about the thc. I've had low thc strains that knocked my socks off and I've had high thc strains that were lackluster. It's all about how your endocannabanoid system reacts to the full effect including terpenes, cbd, cbn, thcv, etc.

Thanks Royal for a much needed explanation for me. It's all starting to make sense now.

I thought I heard some gears grinding from the east
