I usually wait in till most of the hairs change color and die back and I see about 10% amber with my microscope before I even think about harvesting.

I'd wait until more pistils are orange. Also, get a jewelers loupe so you can check trichome heads. You want a cloudy/milky color on the heads before harvesting. As heads become more amber you will get more of a couch lock "stoned" effect vs uplifting energetic buzz IME.

Seedsman white widdow is pretty good smoke, I really really like it, but they are as guilty as most other seed banks of selling polyhybrids under the name of classic strains.
I like seedsman, I highly recommend peyote gorilla and peyote wifi from their catalogue.
Tangent: I try to hunt strains based on characteristics I like and go from there. Going down the rabbit hole is where I learn most of what I know about the history of marijuana and its cultivation. Plus, you might stumble upon some info leading you to the real deal holyfield classic White Widdow, blue dream, chem #4, etc.

What do the trichs say? If they're within the harvest window your trying to be in then yeah, a bunch of fuckers on the internet will all tell you a bunch of different things

I don't. It was my first solo grow and as you'll see in these pics, it wasn't exactly the healthiest plant in the world. The high (as best as i can remember it) was very relaxed but focused.
Also, I don't smoke enough to have a good pallet for taste, and I get so fucking high I probably wouldn't remember it.
Tolerance Break isn't just a username lol
The WW from seedsman is the tall gal in the back.

Looks like it's in its prime......still vibrant.....robust . I hate pushing those gals until they look like they been " walking the streets " for the last 35 years . Not a pretty sight . The amber trichomes on sativa may take some patience ( well worth it ) ...
I like 50/50 , milky/amber.
