Any chance you could site your source? I would love to read more about this but can't find anything.

Just grew some and don't get high

We had temps like that here all summer, even higher and the stuff I grew in it, looked rough, smoked good. Its not ideal but if you plant in the ground the roots stay cool.
When growing inside wrap the pots with insulation and keep them cool. Set some frozen jugs of water around them. Mulch your plants even in pots. A few inches of mulch will do them good. Use a silica product and kelp to help heat tolerance.

I don't believe that. It may be true for the trichomes present at 3 weeks. They sure put more on as they go. Also It doesn't hold true for the other cannabinoids. Thc is present that early but other cannabinoids come into play later in flower. High thc is not everything. It all how the cannabinoids interact and even terpenes influence the buzz,

What time of day did you chop? Light evaporates terpenes. I like to chop right before lights on. Starches are in the root zone and more terpenes, more smell and possible affect.

I grew some WW a few years back and it did nothing for me either. Probably some sort of blood chemistry thing as the friends I passed it on to loved it.
As long as there are trichs on the buds after 3 weeks you'll get a feel for the buzz but it's a lot stronger at cropping time. Chopping a week early will affect your yield more than the stone as the trichs will be at full potency after 6+ weeks of flowering. I chop when almost all of the hairs have turned red and trichs are 50/50 clear/cloudy with an amber one here and there. That's peak THC time and they can turn amber later while curing in a jar instead of holding up production in my grow room waiting for amber.
The time of day you harvest isn't going to make a noticeable difference in the potency. Maybe 0.1% but unless you have a gas chromatograph you'll never notice the difference. Cropping under a new moon will triple potency so aim for that.

I would say that looks very tasty regardless if she is wearing genes/jeans or a skirt!

I did. Me. And anyone who grows and samples their produce knows it is true.
Try it. Take a small lower bud at say 25 to 30 days from flip from a healthy plant, dry it and smoke it. See what is does for you.
Then try again at harvest time. Youll find very little difference in potency. And that is no suprise, given what the job of the trichs is....

Dude needs to grow high THC strains. Maybe he will get a contact high.
Maybe he should practice first growing Mexican ditch weed.

White Widow strains are known to be a fairly high THC plant. That is what he grew.

The OG kush FROM ILGM was very very good and strong. Maybe your tolerance is just built up for stronger strains. Or their version of WW is bunk

What is the street price for that per lb?

I can honestly say I haven't the slightest idea.
First off, you did a great job growing it out- it looks perfect!!!
Here's your problem........and it's getting more and more common. A large majority of strains continue to get watered down, by bad breeding, to nothing more then crap- eveything smells the same, tastes the same, looks the same and with little to no buzz. The majority of "Amsterdam" strains available- all are too similar with a 4-5/10 potency. WW is one of the strains I think. Add in the pollen chuckers out there, which most of these guys are- you virtually have little to no chance to find something worthwhile. A few guys, maybe Bodhi, GG, a couple of others- are doing a great job- but you can count them on 2 hands at most.
So, it's not you, it's all about genetics!!!!!!
