White Widow Clone 2019 (II)

Harvest time for Crop King’s White Widow. I outlined in the first week this is not my first experience, in fact the strain in general regardless of distributor would be a recommend for new growers and for breeding stock. This was a regular clone that was gifted to me, and so I didn’t purchase the Crop King seeds. The only thing to note is the ability to get ravaged by pests as a clone, recover, and thats where I got it.... No issues in flowering other than overcrowding. One drawback of Widow, and the score of seven instead of eight, is its tendency to grow spindly branches, its very bushy, and produces little clumps of bud. In general, thats a pain, and it doesn’t work as well in a sea of green or small plant setup. However, its super durable and resistant, and consistent, and so its still valuable. Another great limiter with this grow was experimenting with lights, it only got ten hours of daylight for the first four weeks. This surely limited yield. Smell during growing is pungent, classic. I will say I rushed this plant and struggled to get leaf fade, and work through the soil amendment. I felt I wasn’t really able to bring the aromas out during flower. In terms of dried product, I’ve always found Widow takes quite some time to cure into a nice taste and is better left mixing anyway. It is like a classic cannabis/plant/herb smell, with some harsh overtones that go a but pine like or wood like, and sweet, as it fades to the CBD. I find this strain forms the base taste that strains like Super Silver Haze and Black Indica are similar too (in taste). Effects are really good as always, probably just slightly leaning indica, but its generally a wash. Again, great for mixing. The final verdict is this is one of my favourite strains, but it doesn’t like speed, and its a pain in the a** to trim. Its more bunches of bud that solid stalks. It is notable for having perhaps my favourite leaf shape of all the strains I’ve grown. However, I’m now looking to Widow crosses moving forward, to get the benefits of two. In addition, I got a handful of non developed seeds in the larf, and one developed seed (it appears). I did not clone, so that lone seed can be emergency. Also, my buddy who donated the clone has more Crop King Seeds, and widow strains from other distributors. I too am planning on growing a Widow mix soon.
