No two of my ‘white widows’ is the same… one is normal , one is purple, and then there is this one that is pitch black although the camera shows it a little lighter

That’s actually what I like to see … some variety. It makes it more interesting to me as long as they are healthy.
Here are two Northern Lights autos I grew at the same time. One purple one yellow.
Go figure…

WW is one of those strains that show these colors when conditions are right. There’s nothing to be concerned about.

@stevenewbie those look awesome. I love the black color in the sugar leaves.
@VirginiaGrowBoy, those remind me of some I did outdoor last summer. These were sister seeds from crossing my jillybean to BC sweet island skunk. It was too slow and a failed experiment. But man does it show pheno variability in sister seeds. Just like yours.

Yes, i wait till about 2 weeks into full flower, then I pull off the bottom 1/3 (maximum) of the leaves.
Ignorant question on my part… did you only have males of one strain and females in the other strain that you crossed?
Can’t wrap my head around how to stage that other than that.

If you zoom in you can see the exact coloration you had mentioned all 3 of those autos are IlGM WW. One white, one purplish black, and one green. Personally i like the greenish pheno better seems to be a little more potent. But as im sure you know unless your cloning no two will ever grow exactly the same. Peace and Happy growing to ya. Heres some from last WW grow.

@VirginiaGrowBoy,
I select lots of boys. I never buy fem packs because I like pheno hunting the males almost as much as the girls.
I have kept keeper males for 7-8 grow seasons as clones. The gem boys seem to be fewer and further apart in general I find. I figure that makes a gem worth keeping.
Also, if I get a cut, I have NEVER yet met a strain I couldn’t get nanners from. I just late over ripen a sacrificial clone. Then drop an hour a week until I get nanners; it makes them think the world is ending. I have had stubborn ladies go 4 on 20 off before. But once I get that pollen I go right back to 20on until the seeds ripen.
I have had keeper girls going as Bansai clones for 12-13 years now. Making seeds is easier than buds. I am surprised more people don’t do it.
Call me crazy, but if the winds of change shift again it is nice to know I will be just fine.
It’s still not federally legal despite all the democrats and their promises. What happened Biden? And all the republicans claiming support now did nothing while they were in charge. It’s not a blue or red thing; but it’s still not a federally legal thing….
