This is not really a thread but I just wanted to state that I recently blasted a half a packet of BW from Mr Nice.
I got 4 females from 6 seeds - which probably means I am going to get males from the next half packet.. Karma works that way.
Anyway, I have been growing this since the 90's. It is hard to remember how a plant was all those years ago - you get rose-tinted memories, etc... but I do remember 2 distinct phenos. 1 really short and 1 really quite tall. A slightly fruity hashishy aroma, a medium yield, an easy to grow plant and sticky buds.
That is EXACTLY what I got this time around. 1 plant 7 foot and 1 plant less than 2 foot. A third plant around 6 foot and the fourth about 2 foot!
All had reasonably similar smells. the taller plants were slightly more acid-fruity, like pineapples, maybe and the smaller more hashish like.
I can't say if this is still the original F1 - but it sure as hell acts like it.
All 4 plants are hanging now. Harvest 8 weeks, 9 at the most...a good fun grow. No keepers but all 4 plants were worth growing. Of course I haven't smoked any yet (but you KNOW when you have nice buds. The smell, the look, the resin...)
I will update you on the smoke.
All I really wanted to emphasise was that whether you like BW or not and whether it was conceived by Shanti or Ingemar (I don't know) it is what it is and THESE seeds appear a pretty genuine likeness of old style White Widow to me...if that is what you want to try then try these.
