On my first plant, my first ever grow, I waited until I saw a few amber before harvesting a few weeks ago. I found that it does have that sleepy effect, and there’s a place for that and I like it, but I still have plenty of that harvest, along with some 100% Indica weed.
My second plant of ILGM’s WWA will be finished in a few weeks, and I’m going back and forth about harvesting with some amber or with only cloudy trichomes (no amber).
So, I’d like to hear from members who have harvested ILGM’s WWA with only cloudy trichomes. Share anything, such as the weed’s effects, and how it compares to harvesting with some amber, if you have also done that.
Week 11 White Widow Auto fade. Currently waiting for more trichomes to change. Mostly clear/cloudy now with a few ambers here and there among the trillions of non amber.
I chopped mine at week 13. Im currently smoking it and its great! Not too heavy but does have a little jitter too it. But for me ,thats normal for white widow.
As an experiment, today I chopped a popcorn bud on my plant that still has a little bit to go. The little bud still has a few clear, so I want to know for myself how that feels.
Sure, yes, I’ll let you know how the little popcorn is. It just might be tomorrow, with our humidity being at 20% Today is day 77 since she first broke above soil, so week 11-ish. I didn’t do LST, so of course the top bud more advanced. I’ve been toying with chopping the top bud, and tomorrow a weather system is moving in for a couple days that would bring in some moisture, so I’ll see.
I chopped my previous and first plant at day 94 that had some amber. No jitters at all, but usually it makes me yawn, for better or worse. The other night was good - relaxing, but no yawns, thankfully. There’s a place for yawning weed, but sometimes I like to smoke during the day.
Well, my current plant is on day 77 and there’s no way it’s going to day 94, haha.
Great and potent! I chopped her today after my experiment. I love experiments, hehe. The popcorn bud still had some white pistils, and like I mentioned, some clear trichomes. A different experience from having some amber, but a great one! It’s definitely more energizing and more physically numbing - a good wake 'n bake. I love it with some amber, I love it with some clear … it all depends, it’s all good.
Here’s a picture of her right before the chop, a little spiral stairway to heaven effect from this angle.
That little fallen nug was saying, “Try me, try me!” Well, congrats!
I’m on day 78 from seedling.
Have you done the microwave thing to test? I haven’t. I let the popcorn dry for two days, which might have been ready last evening with 20% humidity. I’ll be checking in on my harvest MUCH sooner than the 6 days I let my first harvest dry; 25% humidity, and they were crispy and smelled like lawngrassinol terps, haha.
I harvested on Oct 24th with very little and I mean barely a grimmer of Amber tricombs and it was cured in grove bags came out great. Very good strong high but no couch lock just a great social buzz. Kinda energetic. I think I’m going to wait a little longer next time for me. I know it will be a bit stronger with about 30 percent Amber. I think it’s gonna be worth the wait. I picked some of the same strain a bit earlier as well and it was not so good. Just didn’t have the same kick. In my very recent experience I would wait for some Amber fore sure. Hope this helps out. I’m in love with the white widow by the way. just good smoke.
Same! And I let my last WWA go a bit longer; I find it’s great before bed, sometimes an hour so before so that I can enjoy the buzz and just enough mental pick-me-up joy. I love the body high from WW, which I find not too heavy, but just so nice and it helps me sleep. I’ll always have some WW in my stash. Plus, it grows so well and is hardy - a big plus for me since I don’t tent.
It grows well. It takes some cold weather like a champ. I’m surprised at the flavor. The plants growing where very pungent and strong smelling. All dryed and cured they are smooth and sweet and a bit skunky-fruity. Just a good smoke. I’ve got HIGH hopes for the gold leaf strain this coming season.
Today is day 77 since she first broke above soil, so week 11-ish. I didn’t do LST, so of course the top bud more advanced. I’ve been toying with chopping the top bud, and tomorrow a weather system is moving in for a couple days that would bring in some moisture, so I’ll see.
Or, he called someone else The Dude … think I need to watch that film again.

What strain?
