White Widow Yield per 1 m²
White Widow—man, that strain’s a beast. Grows like it’s got something to prove. If you’re dialed in, I mean really tuned—lights, nutes, airflow, the whole nine—you can pull 500 to 600 grams per square meter. Maybe more. I’ve seen some folks hit 700, but that’s rare air. Gotta be borderline obsessive to get there. Most people? They’ll land somewhere in the 400s, maybe low 500s if they’re not screwing around.
But here’s the thing. Yield’s not just about numbers. White Widow’s chunky, resin-dripping buds make it feel like more than it is. Dense as hell. You trim a cola and it’s like cutting through a wet pinecone. Sticky, too—scissors gunk up fast. Smells like pine and pepper had a baby and raised it in a closet full of skunk.
Now, if you’re running hydro, you might squeeze out a bit more. Faster growth, tighter internodes. But soil-grown Widow’s got this earthy depth to it—like the plant’s telling you stories from underground. Trade-offs, always. Hydro’s clean and quick. Soil’s slow and soulful.
Lighting matters more than people admit. You toss a Widow under a weak LED and expect miracles? Nah. She needs power. Real light. 600W HPS minimum if you’re old school. Full-spectrum LED if you’re fancy. Don’t cheap out. She’ll punish you with larfy fluff if you do.
And space—don’t cram her. She likes to stretch. Not crazy like a sativa, but she’ll reach if you let her. SCROG works wonders. Fill that net, flip the switch, and watch her explode. Timing’s key. Wait too long and you’re pruning like a madman. Flip too early and you leave grams on the table.
Honestly, White Widow’s forgiving. She’ll take some abuse and still give you a decent haul. But if you treat her right? She’ll reward you. Not just in weight, but in quality. That frosty, heady high that creeps up and smacks you sideways. You’ll be halfway through a sentence and forget what you were saying. Good stuff.
So yeah—per square meter? 500 grams is a solid target. Push it and you might hit 600+. But don’t chase numbers so hard you forget why you’re growing in the first place. It’s not just about yield. It’s about the ritual. The smell. The wait. The first hit off a fresh cure. That’s the real payoff.
