“I received one of these as a freebie a few years back when I was running strictly autos and only now got around to doing a run. I sort of popped her on a whim and I'm so glad I did!
She was an absolute breeze to grow. She handles all manner of growing techniques; topping, LST, defoliation. In every case she bounced back without much fuss within 24 hours. She is a great strain for a beginner though she seemed to be slightly susceptible to powdery mildew during late stages of growth. Just keep her below 50% RH during flower and you should be fine. She grows thick so you'll want to trim fan leaves as you go. I took her about 5 days earlier than I would have liked because she started to throw nanners. That said, I believe I had an unchecked LED light in some of my equipment that may have contributed to the stress that resulted in nanners. Just be aware that she has the propensity for it. I didn't lollipop her but to my surprise she didnt produce any airy larf; even the lower popcorn buds were dense and lovely in their own right.
She has a gassy petrol background overlaid with what I can only describe as a very classic sensimilla scent -- Think the unnamed stuff folks simply used to call "kind bud" back in the day that had a sweet, almost bubblegum-like, floral scent. That same scent is definitely in play with this White Widow pheno. I've sampled a bit of dried but uncured flower in my desktop vaporizer and it is already excellent product, even without a proper cure. I will update my review and add some more pictures when she's been cured and I've pressed her into rosin!
All in all, great offering by Seedsman. If it's any indicator, during this grow, I purchased 5 more strains of Seedsman genetics based on how much I enjoyed growing their White Widow. Not bad at all for a freebie seed!”
