Old School White Widow

[maryjaneismyfre]

I guess I never tried real widow

Yeah 100%, the old widow was narcotic, but stupifying rather than knock you out...though nap times wouldn't be too far away..I was in my 20s when we were smoking it and remember one time my mother was phoning me trying to organize some shit and everytime she called me back I couldnt remember that I was speaking to her minutes before. Seriously....I smoked everyday at that point, this shit was some other shit hahaha....Was like a spaced out shroom dose without the visuals and with more chill....

Regarding seedfinder...They have been a decent source of info for many years, but you have to sift through all the seedbanks descriptions yes...

Searching for "aloha white wido" there brings up 11 results, the first one that Reynard clicked on is an Hawaiian seedbank that likes to spin fanciful tales and those on icmag haven't had the best reports on, the theres also the "clone only" and "unknown or legendary" entries..and to quote one of those relating to the original, it says:

" The story of Aloha's White Widow is that someone working for Aloha clipped a cutting from the original Greenhouse White Widow mother (shatibaba's at this time, so look out for the black widow instead) entered into the Cup and displayed at the Cannabis Castle that year."

Aloha White Widow

I just won a pack of these seeds in an auction... I don't really know much about it, but I had heard that the Aloha version of WW was a good one so I bid on it and won. Does anyone have any info they can share? Pictures? Smoke reports? I tried doing a search and it didn't bring up too much. If...

Yeah it seems like the legendary 98 cut (also called Sweet Thang?) is from Aloha Seedbank stock. At least that's what was believed back when only 10 years had passed. And it's possibly a White Widow / Super Skunk hybrid.

This is a cut from 98. Killer stone and reeks of mango and tropical fruit.

Pics below of the OSG cheese, which is Cheese x old 90s widow.. These were skunky, and sweet and fruity, but delectable and loud..I find the widow often outcrosses to make really fruity stuff, but isn't too fruity on its own..This plant made monster colas..

Very nice colas... I'll try some in the future.

I'm getting obsessed with MangaRosa - Cabeça de Nego. I may be getting close.

Don't be, these "strains" were never strains, they are popular names, common names for regional weeds from the past, it was never a stabilized and worked "X" strain. In addition to being Brazilian, I am from Bahia, the land of these so-called "races" of cannabis and I assure you that they were never, never a specific plant.
There is a lot of talk about a so-called "cohiba" that gave rise to white widow and similar plants, but this plant was never known here. I have never heard this name in Brazil. No one has any idea what this plant is here. It is another legend/lie.

We should certainly have some heirloom cultivated by slaves who came from Africa in the past, and these varieties have certainly remained with us for centuries. However, a few decades ago we had an invasion of foreign pollen, long before we were able to select anything, thanks to the crappy prohibitionism we inherited from the U.S.A and the drug traffickers who don't care about the quality of the herb they sell or crossbreed in their hidden fields.

To find the so-called "manga rosa" or "cabeça de nego" or "rabo de raposa" or anothers, we would have to go back 100 years or more in the past and search the interior of the Northeast for something to then select for many generations in order to stabilize something that can be called that.

Today, Brazil is dominated by "satiguaia", the sativa-dominant Paraguayan heirloom that comes to us through brick weed.

[OleReynard]

First time I went to dam circa 98 we smoked everything in Amsterdam in copious amounts and the only weed to cause any whiteys among our group was the widow

Widow is not a particularly tasty strain, it taste a bit acrid to me sometimes

I know this is an old relic of a post but this is rhe first person that actually knew and tasted the real White Widow.
It was mine exactly to a T.
In a picture she looked like a cloud of gas.

Anybody have this gal or beans that have been well preserved from GHS?

White Widow from seed in 2002. Thought this pic was lost to time. Funny thing about these plants - they were grown indoors under a 1000w hps street lamp.

Without street lamps I couldn't have started to grow, they were very expensive in the 90's and a friend had a city light just next to his bedroom window, each bulb was replaced in 2/3 days after it "disappeared"

Seems like a lot of us got started out on street lamps!

I grew a couple plants outdoors before that point, but started growing indoors with that street lamp, since it was gifted to me (I wonder why?)

It had the magnetic ballast and street light dome still attached, no reflector needed! Thing used to get so damn hot but it produced some absolute monster colas.

It was not so easy to get the balast, it was in the pole. it had to be taken in quiet streets at night.
I think a whole generation started to grow thanks to street lights, those idiots had no idea they gave us the tool to grow the stuff we are not allowed to grow

Hey that's what taxes are for, right? I can only imagine what they thought when their street lights were just missing off the pole.

My buddy had a bunch of them with ballasts and domes, so somebody put in some work to get them. Different areas of our neighborhoods had either the red hps lights or the blue MH. So naturally he had multiple setups for veg and bloom.

Thats fuckin hilarious

 

[rustlessbiscuit]

In my imagination, The mother fuckers sent out to replace the bulbs just scratching there heads why everything else looks unfucked, while the bulbs just fucking missing, out of a 10-20ft neighborhood light pole.

Great idea.
