Why is the White Widow a favorite among newbie growers?
White Widow cannabis is one of the most resilient marijuana strains. This plant is fairly resistant to diseases, withstands warm climates, and can be grown in indoor controlled environments.
If you don’t have a lot of space, the White Widow is a god choice. This short cannabis strain doesn’t grow taller than 4 feet but can still produce up to 18 ounces of usable marijuana per square meter after completing a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks.
Cultivating White Widow plants outdoors will give you slightly more: up to 21 ounces of usable cannabis per plant. Just remember to harvest toward the end of October.
First-time growers can also experiment with using a Sea of Green cultivation method because this strain will be able to tolerate whatever punishment you decide to dish out.
This grow journal documents the cultivation of 5 White Widow autoflowers from ILGM, and starts from the 22nd day from sprout.

February 28th
The young girls are 22 days old today. One of the leaves on the back middle plant is a little messed up after being hit with some soil. The ladies also started getting some minor heat problems before an exhaust system was installed. Right now, the tent temperature is around 85 degrees F.
You can’t really tell in the picture but the front mid plant is a little stunted compared to the others. She’s the last one to be transplanted but she seems to have fully recovered now.

Here are the girls today!
There are a couple of rust-colored spots and a weird curling in one of the plants. Those aren’t really noticeable.
The lights were also lowered but were raised again because the plants started showing some signs of LED light burn.
March 3rd
Here’s one of the girls at 25 days old.
Since this is a newbie’s first grow, they’ll be allowed to grow naturally without LST. These White Widows are so compact that it’s difficult to figure out where to bend.
March 7th
Today marks their 29th day from sprout.
Even without LST, these plants are spreading and producing a lot of bud sites. The White Widow strain is strong enough to be able to develop even without a lot of attention.
March 11th
One of the plants in the picture got a touch of nutrient burn. Too much of a good thing can be quite harmful too.
Check them out at 34 days from sprout!
By the way, these plants are in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil with about 25 percent perlite mixed in. The nutrient mix is half-strength Fox Farms Trio. They are under two 600W LEDs. With the humidifier, daytime humidity is at 25% and nighttime humidity is at 50%. Temperatures is 68 and 78 degrees F during daytime and nighttime respectively.
March 16th
Two of the plants are considerably taller (both 19 inches) than the others. The 3 other plants are around 11 and 14 inches so they were moved around in the tent to receive more light.
The tent’s interior looks a little goofy now but it is what it is. Looks like the plants are different ages now but they are all the same.
These photos immortalize the plants which are 38 days from sprout.
March 27th
49 days from sprout and they’re still looking nice. Some of the side stems have dark brownish-reddish color.
April 18th
Here are some photos: one of each plant at 71 days!
They may have ran into some problems but these are taken care of for the most part. Trichomes are still mostly clear but some are starting to turn cloudy.
They should have less than 2 weeks left. It’s not like everything can sneak to amber overnight.
May 3rd
Harvest took place 86 days after they sprouted from soil!
May 4th
Now they’re just hanging around. Here’s a plastic bottle for a better perspective of how big these buds are!
May 19th
The total dry weight off the 5 White Widows without LST is 238.19 grams or 8.51 ounces. That’s an average of 1.7 ounces per plant! The smallest plant produced 33 grams and the biggest put out 65 grams. Not bad for someone who doesn’t know much at all!

This novice grower started out with the right decision to choose White Widow seeds from ILGM. These seeds are perfect for beginners but even a beginner can still mess up.
Choosing White Widow seeds from ILGM eliminates all the diseases and bugs that come from a clone. Moreover, growing from cuttings is recommended for more experienced growers. Beginners might end up with a disaster! You’re better off buying ILGM White Widow seeds and start growing from scratch.
