Could you please tell me if you had any of these issues and what you did in order to produce such beautiful plants?
The only thing I recall was some powdery mildew from being outside. This started to happen late flower, when the weather turned crap, also known as Fall.
Make sure the temperature stays above 70 degrees during the day and above 60 degrees at night. Your White Widow plants are mildly shocked at 55 degrees. They could die if repeatedly exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees. As for humidity, keep it at 70% during germination and drop into the mid to upper-60’s during the vegetative stage. Once it reaches the flowering stage, reduce it by up to 5% weekly until it is in the 30-40% range.
I try and stick with the VPD chart that many use. The resident Virgin has one that I like to use, seen below. My RH is adjusted accordingly to the temps at the height of the plants canopy.
White Widow is susceptible to bud rot or fungus when its flowers are half developed. Your plants are at the highest risk in a room with a temperature between 60- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit and a high humidity level. This is one of the reasons why you should reduce humidity levels by the flowering stage.
Between 60 and 80 degrees? With that kind of statement how are we ever suppose to grow a WW? Looking at the VPD chart, plants can safely transpire in flower at 80 degrees with 60% RH. Plenty of circulation is key to keeping bud rot in check. Every cannabis plant is susceptible to it, regardless if it's half developed or fully developed.
WW - Pests are an issue with White Widow, whether you grow it indoors or outdoors. Aphids, mites, fungi, caterpillars, and whiteflies are the worst offenders.
Apparently all Shed grows is WW then. Again, every plant will attract bugs outdoors. If you have bugs indoors then it could be from several things. Carrying them in on your clothing, them crawling in on their own, bringing in outdoor plants to be with the indoor ones, using a soil that has been contaminated with insect eggs, and the list goes on.
Indoors requires keeping a clean tent. Scrubbing it down after every grow. I use bleach on my tent walls. One time I got locked inside and thought I was going to pass out. Since then I have been advocating to have zippers that open from the inside as well. But that's another story.
Don't worry about what is said about the Widow. If you know what to look for, run a clean shop, have plenty of circulation, and stay friends with Shed, you'll do just fine.
To keep my plants looking healthy, I try and keep a balanced approach with nutrient ratios. Once I found my sweet spot I do the same thing over and over again. You start adding too much of one thing, such as P and/or K boosters in flower, and most likely the plants will suffer.

lol I can get a start on some new beans I just got.
