So, Monday afternoon I dropped 2 white widow fem and 2 blue widow fem seeds in a glass of water. They all sank within 4 hours. I moved them to paper towels. Next day I had 3 tap roots, so I dropped them in solos with potting soil and perlite. As of now, 2 have popped through the soil, but 1 white widow seed is yet to show signs of cracking. I went ahead and dropped a berry bomb in some water this afternoon (it was a freebie that Paul had sent me with my order) to replace the one that hasn't cracked, but I'm still not giving up on her for another week!

I'll join and follow along your grow purpleman. Not sure what your grow setup is or methods you plan to undertake, but a couple things to keep in mind as you go (grow) along.
The white widow will want to grow double the size(height) of the blue widow.
The white widow will also want to more than double it's height after you flip to 12/12.
If only topping, I would double top the white widow for sure.
I'm on day 21 since flipping a WW and it is still stretching. Topped once(no training to speak of) and it's nearing 40" without the container. I'd certainly have a different plan if I grew it again.
All the best and have a great grow!

So, it's been a week since I took my seeds out of their packages. Both of my blue widows look fine (pictured). White widow #1 was put in soil the same time as the blue widows, with a half inch tap root, but has yet to emerge. WW #2 still hasn't cracked. Haven't had good luck with white widows (some may remember that on my first grow, both of the WWs turned out to be dudes). Anyway, I'll give them a few more days and hope for the best. Meanwhile, Berry Bomb has been soaking and now in a napkin but hasn't cracked yet either. It's only been a couple days for her, so I'm still hopeful. The BWs sank, cracked, grew a root and sprouted very quick, so I am pleased with them!

Well, on this fine Sunday afternoon, a nap seemed fitting. After a good solid hour, I rose and went to check the babies. Berry Bomb has a tap root!! Not only that but I carefully unearthed my retarded WW baby to the point where I could see that she has sprouted, just not broke through to the surface yet! WW #2 still hasn't cracked, but 4 out of 5 ain't bad. It's been a good afternoon, enjoying some Gorilla Glue while I update my pals!
 
I've given up on both of my WWs. The one seed never cracked and the second never came through the soil. I uncovered her this morning and she looks exactly like she did when I planted her. I thought I could see her beginning to sprout but I was wrong. Nothing more than a tap root. Berry Bomb popped through overnight, and I dropped another BB seed in water this morning. One of my Blue Widows looks better than the other, but they both look healthy.
 
BW #1 and 2. #1 is smaller and lighter in color. Also the stem is not as substantial as #2. When do I introduce nutrients?

I suspect you'll be very happy with the blue windows, I couldn't be more pleased with the breed.
I'm looking into other berry bomb cross breeds. I think they will pair well with the blue widow.
All the best.
I only topped the BW once(5th node), no training and still ended up with a low bush, flat top plant.
You don't have to get to fancy with the BW, which is right up my ally (g)

Thanks Mr.furley I have wondered how to do that! One of my BWs is twice the size of the other now, and a darker, richer green. Not sure why the other doesn't seem as spry. They were both germinated and planted and sprouted the same time and same way. My tap water is 7.0. How soon do you introduce nutes?
 
Both your seedlings look healthy.
With potting soil you will have a few weeks to a month before any major need for nutrients. Just keep a eye out for light green, yellowing, and/or spots, that is the first signs of nutrient need. Dark green is a sign that the plant is happy, shiny dark green is an abundance of nitrogen, at this age I would be hesitant to give them anything or judge the color to hard.

I would start working on getting your water PH a little closer to 6.5, and remember to only water to a trickle of runoff and let the pots dry out a little.

I droped 2 seeds on the 9th, on the 10th, one had cracked, had a tap root and was in a jiffy puck, the other went in a jiffy after 48hr un cracked and didn't sprout for 5 day. I'm just about to top the first one and the second does have its first set of three leafs, so sometimes genetics from seed to seed very. I have seen the slow growing runt because the biggest producer.
 
After I got home from work I peeked in on them. I took a nap and got a bite to eat, and looked again a couple hours later. I swear, I could see growth in just a couple hours! The other one, not so much. I guess at this point there is nothing to do but wait and hope for the best.
 
Hahaha. A watched "pot" never boils and patience is your friend, But you are correct, good genetics grow right before your Eyes.
My best advice is if that one keep "impressing you" with it speed of growth it is a great candidate for learn how to clone.
A.k.a keep that pheno going.
 
I mix a gallon of nutes before I put them in root riots with 1/4 strength nutes ,voodoo juice and grow only thing I add at this point
 
I was thinking about mixing a light dose of bio root and cal mag, but I've screwed up enough stuff, I'm afraid to experiment.
 
isn't that strange I have noticed that about autos I have a bunch of kush plants all started same day some are in bloom some not ,some are taller and some short they are never the same kinda frustrating when you get that one plant thats amazing but you grow it again and its not the same
