I see little information is available on this strain so I like to share my experiences. I will keep you informed from germination to first commercial harvest which will be either end of November, if I can get sufficient cuttings from the mother plants I'm gonna grow, or end of January.
Currently I'm growing White Widow and even with temperatures of around 29 degrees Celsius both day and night (I live in Spain) I do minimal 0,8 grams/Watt and when it's colder 1 gram/Watt under 2x 600 Watts regular Cooltubes. I plan on upgrading to professional reflectors and digital ballasts soon which should increase my crop at least another 10 to 20%. My goal for the first Critical Skunk harvest is 1,25 grams/Watt. I used Advanced Nutrients Grow Micro Bloom and Bud Candy, now I am trying Bud Ignitor, Rhino Skin, Connoisseur and Bud Factor X. I grow on a 80/20 mixture of Perlite and Vermiculite, 36 plants total, each plant 4 to 6 main buds. Because cleaning the substrate mixture every harvest is very time consuming, next harvest I'm gonna either use Coco or some new white substrate I forgot the name of.
Last week I put the 19 in stead of 18 seeds I received from Seedsman in a cup of distilled water for one night, then a day or two between some moist cottonwool and two dishes. All 19 seeds germinated and a week later I have 19 healthy little plants which is a very good thing!! With other words: These seeds are of an excellent quality.
Because I don't have the space and equipment to grow an additional 19 plants indoors, next week I will put them outside under the Spanish sun and as soon they are large enough, and before they start flowering, I will make 2 cuttings of each plant which I will keep indoors. Somewhere later in August I should be able separate the males from females so if everything goes as expected I will have approx. 8 healthy female plants and 16 small plants from the cuttings I made earlier. At the end I will choose the best plant so 2 plants from the cuttings remain. With some luck these will be big enough to make 45 cuttings for my next grow or else I have to wait another 2 months.
Attached you will see the White Widow week 7 and 19 little Critical Skunk plants. I keep you all posted as soon I am ready to make cuttings!
Also, and I don't know if I am allowed to post it here, I am working on a modular climate control system that can be managed from anywhere you are in the world with a web interface and I am looking for an investor. 40k initial, up to 100k euros short term credit for stock. Please PM me if you know someone. Thanks!
