It also has the decarboxylation times.
Ever since i found this out i never throw out any leafs let alone an entire plant be it male female or a hermy.
I cut it up, boil it in water for about 5-10 minutes maybe twice ( to get rid of the utterly disgusting spinach smell/taste), then heat it up in creamy/fat milk for about 2 maybe 3...
those hairclusters will grow into buds in a couple of weeks, its your choice to harvest this smaller amount of bud/THC, i vote another 2-3 weeks like Buster
ive planted 5 seeds from 1 plant in 1 big bucket, all where white widdow crossed with Shaman High, i know for a fact that strain isnt everything, i have one white widdow which turned purple which has no mold at all while other non purple turning white widdows do have mold and budrot.

i grew 5 seeds of white widow from Spliff Seeds and i know...
