When I grew original White Widow it bloomed and finished early. The leaves were not fat but not skinny. Manga Rosa is said to finish in under 12 weeks. Some of them have medium width leaves from what I have seen. Kerala ganja has fatter leaves looking at photos online. Many Indian sativa strains are really indica hybrids now. Maybe one or both of the parents were hybrids?
Only Shanti knows for sure.

@PanchoVilla Thanks for that info. I just looked at the RSC page for Kerala and it’s quite interesting. It seems that there are several varieties, some that finish earlier than others. For WW, Shanti must have selected early finishers (which RSC considers to be a less traditional variety), whereas the one used in Haze could have been more of a pure equatorial variety.

This is a classic South Indian ganja landrace renowned for its intensely positive and stimulating ‘sativa’ high. Keralan cultigens have played a crucial role in the creation of foundational modern hybrids such as Haze and White Widow.
The equatorial highland district of Idukki, where this landrace was collected, is Kerala’s most respected centre of ganja cultivation.
This is a true tropical ‘sativa’, ranging between 2 and 4 metres tall, with characteristic bamboo-like leaflets. ‘Creeper’ and ‘Christmas-tree’ structures can be exhibited. Buds are loose and resinous with minty, peppery, and fruity aromas, yielding a pungent sweet smoke. The Kerala high is renowned for its energising positivity.
Regional planting is around June to July, with harvests from December to early February. But faster indivduals can be ready by late October to early November. Traditionally, farmers favoured a later harvest. The best plants show great potency and will have the characteristic elevating Kerala high.

I mainly have grown white widow for the past year, it is a fine plant to have in your medicine cabinet (stable). I would still be growing it but lost it during the storms in 2018. When I happen upon seeds or the finances I shall once again grow this marvel of pain relief. I do miss it, sorely.

From what I have seen the Kerala lines vary. It seems some are hybridized with some north India indicas. Last I tried to get south India seeds the seller admitted they tend to herm. So they self-feminizes them the wrong way. The White Widow I grew went through Hell and high water. No herms. A true female. I should have kept her going. I sold them to pay the light bills.
I do not think Haze has any Kerala. The legend is Colombian x Mexican x Colombia, and later possibly x Thai or x Ganja. But legends? Who really knows. The Haze Brothers? More legend.

when i grew WW back in 06’-08’ my friend who gave me a cutting told me 8-10 weeks but then if you would flower WW longer they would become more frosty.
I would flower them up to 13 week’s, they would put more weight more crystals and more flavor. my system back then was Ebb&flow hydro tables. GH flora nova series GH Kool Bloom, Brer rabbit molasses, Humbolt’s own Bush master, gravity flower hardner, Purple snow storm max. I would flush for three weeks and just use molasses and water in the end. I also prefer buying the cooking kind of molasses for my plants. because sometimes you get hungry while working on the plants and sipping on some molasses helps me lol
