Very easy, very strong, excellent yield. I grew using an ebb and flow with GH nutes 3 part. This was the second generation and the yield was fantastic, I really didn’t expect 216 grams per plant. Re-veg went long at 45 days and the plants went tall, but I added 65 watt lower cool light to increase lower yield. Worked like a charm. I use co2 enrichment by making beer outside room air intake, that also helped a great deal. Humidity is kept low at about 50% and the temp is kept at 75 degrees in light and 50-60 degrees in dark.

It's after several grows on the widows that I felt ready to submit this report.
All the widows seem to be quite sensitive to bad treatments. I killed a first batch of 8 seeds due to heat, over-watering and over-ferting. After I tweaked my cab and habits to what it's now, things went much better. The second batch of seeds grew out nice healthy plants with large and dark leaves. they all had very thick trunks. When cloned, I noticed (along with other fella growers) they rooted slowly. They simply take 5 more days to root properly, as compared to 5 other strains here.
I noticed two phenos:
WW#1 is more leafy when flowering, pistils are fat and white, leaves grow near the bud and twist on themselves at the end of flowering. Pistils turn orange quite suddenly, but then 10 more days are required before harvest (trichomes check). This pheno can turn slightly purple if cold temps are provided during ripening. It's the most tasty pheno, I got two females of this kind, but lost one (WW#2). It's the earliest too (55 days).
WW#3 is quite strange, the leaves are small and soft (very soft to the touch). It's a very short plant. when flowering, it reveals itself with round Sativaish colas. Pistils are creamy and don't turn color much.
Taste is not as strong as #1 or #2. It finishes around day 62. For all those reasons, I won't keep it.
Those plants are not top yielders. We're going to experiment on other systems, but I don't think you can grow it for yield. Nor for ease. So what ? It's potent, and tasty... oh so potent and tasty !
Smoke report:
Both phenos are tasty, but the first one is stronger in taste, as well as in potency I guess. Both are a very heady smoke, extremely tonifying and socializing. I love it. No other of my strains can give me energy like that. Potent, it's potent !!!
It's a soft smoke that won't hurt you too bad, even if smoked early ; a really "chic" smoke.
A male got selected and started a F2 line, along with a hybrid line with superskunks. I can say WW pollen is very fertile and germination consecutive rates were near 100%. The offspring is vigorous.

This was the first succes of my closet-setting. I didn't experienced any difficulties or annoying surprises during the growth. Unfortunatly it takes at leats 9 weeks, better 10 weeks to harvest. But it's worth the waiting. The special aftertaste of this herb is fantasic. I've smoked more than two months from one single plant. The growing was very easy for SCROG as seen on pictures. I strongly advise to use this strain in SCROG! It's a bit tricky in the beginning, but it's a strong plants. Bended sticks will heal from itself. So excellent strain for beginners like me!

The growgrow is a part of a closet. Big enough for only 1 plant in a SCROG-setting. The water is fully automatic with Blumat-system and the air is floathing around bij 3x9cm fans. The lamp is only 250w for heat reduce, but gives a maximum situation for one plant.
