Its a Green House Seed Co, White Widow bean.

The seed looked questionable, looked kind of abnormal compared to the others.

I was thinking it wouldnt even sprout, but it did. Maybe its just got bad genes like you said. Or the bean was some how damaged. I dont know, all i know is it really isnt frosty.

I guess you could call it a Black Widow!

Ill post some better pics later.
I know your exact problem. You bought from a terrible seed brand. Nirvana carries a pretty good White Widow. Here my personal list, it may come in handy.

Seed Genetics & Brands:

Good to Buy:

1) Nirvana
2) Royal Queens
3) G13 Labs
4) Serious Seeds
4) DNA genetics
5) Reserva Privada ***Stable female seeds
6) Dr. Greenthumbs ***Stable Female seeds but expensive
7) TGA Subcool ***Known for high potency

Bad to Buy:

1) Samsara Seeds ***Unstable female seeds with hermies and males
2) Cali Connection ***Unstable female seeds with hermies
3) Greenhouse Seed Company ***Hermies and generally bad genetics
4) Resevior Seeds ***Unstable female seeds with hermies
5) Dutch Passion ***Unstable with hermies

Dude business is cut-throat sometimes. I've tried several different GH strains that were all good and they have some of the most reasonable prices. I don't beleive any seed should be over 10$ for a fem seed or 5 for reg.

You are very right i agree with you but i also look at it this way if i got a pumkin pie company and got seeds that produces pumkins that grow massive and i got seeds that grow normal sized pumkins ........now if i was selling those giant pumkin seeds to pumkin pie companys i sure wouldnt sell them to the company for the same price for the reg seeds cause they are guranteed really good production for their product . Its not like we are growing cabbage here we get a seed that produces a product that is worth more than its weight in gold anyways if you cant afford to grow indoors u shudnt be growing it or do it free outside

i've never grown ww from anywhere but judging from the nice green 11 fingered fan leaves i think it's safe to say it's NOT the grower's fault.

hahahaha dude 11 finger fan leafs have nothing to do with quality at all in any way shape or form

i understand that
but what was being said was his leaves are not deficient or distorted in anyway so it is not grower error but rather a genetic fail
If his leaves were messed up then it could said that his bad growing skills were the cause of his non resinous plant

are you telling me that a noob who ferts seedlings and waters every day under a 13w cfl (for example) is going to have green leaves with 11 fingers on them 7 weeks into flowering?

if a plant is 7 weeks into flowering with green healthy leaves the grower didn't screw it up, period. the number of fingers on a leaf is genetically determined but that genetic potential won't be reached with a crappy farmer.

therefore, if the farmer reached that genetic potential, he didn't fuck the plant up, the plant did.

I think Greenhouse produces lousy products. I have seen so many greenhouse buds around at the med shops and always have avoided buying them. I am a pot snob.

5-6 months ago and im not saying he didnt have bad genetics but for people to outright say a seed company is shit when ive had stellar results from that seed company among others thats all i just really hate when i see so called growers come on here and blame the seed company everytime something to do with their grow doesnt go in their favor or how they planned like the possible and most logical reason is something they did..............saying that i know there are shit companys and good company but all of them have problems no matter how big or small
 
I've grown White Widow also from Greenhouse, and it was the worst weed ever. I had the same problem with low resin production, so the next set of clones I let flower a full 11 weeks and had the same problem. The buds were massive, but the finished smoke was HORRIBLE. I have received a really good Kings Kush pheno from them, but as a whole I stay away from Greenhouse. I still have about 5 strains from them that I'm scared to crack due to others as well as my own horror story with them.
