I got widow seeds from the greenhouse over the counter in 2000 so I know that they have a valid origin.
They didn't perform anything like they were supposed to.
They were tall and leggy and they took almost 12 weeks to come to harvest. They crystaled up real nice but the bud was fluffy.
I had a skunk cloner at the time so I did a cross breed and a pure breed .For what they charged for the seeds at the time I paid for the trip to Amsterdam and then some .
I gave some seeds away and put the rest on the shelf .
A couple of years ago I lost my skunk mother and I've been trying to back breed to the skunk useing the cross breed seeds ever since.
I only want my plants to get to 30" max (low head room) and I plan on giving the widow another shot.
What can I do to get the widow to tighten up ,or is it just the nature of the beast.
Man I am just rambling . Shouldn't burn and try to think at the same time

tight buds= more light

how old is your light. i recently just learned on this wonderful site that over time your light produces significantly less lumens.

some members here replace bulbs frequently (every 6 months or less)


lumens is a huge factor to denseness.
