Looks lovely! Is it photo or auto? When did you switch to 12/12 or when did it start flowering? I think it's going to be more like 4 to 5 or even up to 6 weeks.
Shes a photo. Actually now that i look at my pictures i switched to 12/12 like the last week of May, so maybe only like 6 weeks ago. So yeah, maybe a little longer than i thought until shes done.
I have White Widow going also. Mine are photo and they do take their time. I prolonged my veg stage because I adopted a Master Kush which was behind the Widows time-wise. One thing I do is cut the fan leaves that block the light from the lower colas. NOT sure if that is correct to do but the plants don't seem to mind. Anyone have a thought on that? Anyways, Good luck. They do look healthy.
There are many opinions on RIU about defoliating, from don't trim anything to strip it bare naked. I trim selectively to allow light to penetrate farther into the canopy, and I trim off everything on the lower 1/3 that doesn't get any light and just makes fluff buds. I haven't seen any scientific investigation demonstrating the benefit of doing it one way or the other. I guess my way just makes me feel good about myself hahaha!
Oh that's really interesting I have to look into that. I am partial to sativas.
I definitely didnt do a great job defoliating during veg, and ive been seeing shaded out bud sites. Past few days ive been trimming just a few fan leaves a day. It needs the light penetration but i dont want to stress it. One thing i love about the ww so far is it's very durable. I've definitely done my fair share of noob abuse to the poor girl but she looks good! I check for hermaphroditism frequently and so far so good. Im kind of surprised. That's why i want it to hurry up and finish
Alright so probably like 6 more weeks. Fingers crossed
I recently picked the reddest ripest big beef tomato you’ve ever seen. It was deep in the tomato plant under all kinds of leaves. The fruit under the leaves ripen.
I wouldn't even worry about how long it has until it actually starts showing you some signs of maturity and ripeness. Then you can start figuring on 2-4 more weeks. Right now your plant is still right in the middle of active bud production, honestly you should hope that it keeps making bigger buds for many more weeks.
