MaxGHanswered grow question 4 months ago I'm not sure, but I know that white widows can be squat water sucking monsters with huge roots that like to live in a large pot, which it looks like you have(5 gal?) One time I grew a seedsman widow and I had to flip it to flower earlier than I wanted because of the huge roots that overgrew the 10 inch pot. The plant had a fat stem but stayed short, but the leaves were starved by the end, and the flowers were anemic.
