I saw @Jogro mention the DNA genetics 60 Day Wonder Variation of this strain. I bought a pack as I really wanted to try this strain and couldn't find it easy so I went with this.

I haven't seen much on this so I will post after I germ them. I am pretty excited though I'm worried as you mentioned their version was unstable. I wonder if it's any different now than 3 years ago. I'll post a report on this. It will be my next seed I start so I'll let you know. Very excited to. Thanks for posting BudMan10 so I found this. ✌

I realize this thread died at least 7-8 months ago, but man does Williams Wonder bring back memories.....I started hydro growing in 1980 and within a cpl yrs found 2 seed catalogs...SSSC and The Seed Bank...both were found by me, being an avid reader of High Times mag...I quickly took a liking to SSSC and spend a few days scrutinizing the strains and M31 (William Wonder) was the winner...So my cash was placed btwn carbon paper and mailed off to Amsterdam with close to NO EXPECTATION I would ever actually get them...early 80ies, preinternet, mailing cash overseas, WHO would have figured that a CPL MONTHS later, there was a padded manilla envelope in my mailbox..had a Wichita Kansas post mark on it...I will never forget it....I ended up with 7 females I appropriately called #1,#2,#3 and so on....These were listed in the catalog as 45 day flowering, and indeed they were....I lived in the burbs of Boston and NOBODY had ever smoked ANYTHING like this...it was like 7 Skittles of the weed world...Each was unique in smell and taste but similar in structure and yield...flavors and smell all VERY DIFFERENT with each...honeysuckle, piney fruit, black hash, pez candy, floral, but ALL SUPER STINKY...I immediately started jarring in masons...ppl loved that...u had to!!!..otherwise it would permeate from a baggie, to your socks in the drawer, into the bedroom, right out into the rest of the house...I MEAN SUPER STINKY...I still grow and have not found another strain this LOUD!!!!...heady to start, but quickly enveloped you in a way weed just did not do in the early 80ies...WOW...ppl I knew out of town would drive 8 hrs when it was ready to get some....in 89, I moved to Orlando Fl, AND ANYBODY that was in Orlando during the early to mid 90ies, probably smoked my WW....It snowballed out and I was also sharing HUNDREDS of cuttings every crop, which was a (6) 1k light, 2 bdrm set up...Dozens of ppl were also growing WW there and thats why you probably came across it in Orlando.....Anyways, it was the start to my, now 37 yr grow career and will always be close to heart...I see that it is now listed as 60-65 day flowering plant....Many GREAT original strains got bastardized over the years...Somehow, someone THOUGHT they could improve on it...A SHAME!!!!!....I would LOVE to still have my original cut of 45 day WW....I expect the old school genetics are gone...a true legend!!!!!

Heres a tip to some...I was just talking about a LOT of Williams Wonder cutting...Many are not aware, you can submerge fresh cuttings into a jar of water, put them in the frig and root hormone them and stick them 2 or 3 days later will complete success...I never kept any longer than day 3 before them getting stuck, but its a GREAT WAY to keep a strain during a mover or long transport...when I moved from Mass to florida, all 20 of the cuttings I had in a jar of water, in a cooler of ice, rooted just fine...We shared thousands over the yrs in Orlando, and everyone was unrooted in a jar of cold water....nice little trick...

Well, after quite a long wait, Williams Wonder seeds finally are available again.

The breeder is Sickmeds seeds, a new breeder working out of Spain, and he's offering regular seeds that are supposedly derived right from beans he grew out of an old pack of Super Sativa Seed Club seedstock.

This breeder "Red" saw some of my posts on Williams Wonder (see below), and asked if I would be willing to grow out some of his ceeds and give an honest report.

Well, how could I say "no" to that? Ever since trying this one about 15 years ago, I've always wanted to grow it, and here is my chance.

Grow journal coming soon. . .

In the meantime, I'm also opening this up as an "everything Williams Wonder" thread. Post any experiences you have with the strain. . growing it, smoking it, longing for it. Questions are welcome.

All I ask is that you keep it civil.

My first experience with Williams Wonder was in 1986 and ordered my WW seeds from SSSC, sent cash wrapped in carbon paper. Received the seeds in a couple of weeks, I ordered 20 seeds and they all germinated. I grew WW for the next 25 years and I had the best pot people ever smoked. In those days people had never smoked pot as strong as WW. At each harvest I had a waiting list from people wanting It and sold ounces for $500.00 each and couldn't grow enough of it, this is when real good dope sold for $300.00 at the most. People who never had money suddenly came up with money for this Williams Wonder and were thankful for getting to purchase it. My wife and I took a trip to Amsterdam in 1996 for two weeks just to tour the coffee shops at that time, and I took some Williams Wonder seeds that I had grown with me, and traded them to Tony the owner of Sagarmatha Seed Company. We were in his store sampling some of his entries to the Cannibis Cups and one of his friend was there and they started talking about Williams Wonder and how they wish they could get some WW seeds and that they hadn't seen WW around for years. I made a comment to Tony that I could possibly be able to make his wish come true and told him about the Williams Wonder seeds that I smuggled into Amsterdam from the good old USA and we made a trade. He told me I could have 40 seeds from any of his entire seed stock for the 10 seeds that I had brought with me from Texas. I traded for some new seed stock such as Bubbleberry, Western Winds which was actually Kali Mist which the name was stolen from him and copyrighted and he could not use the name. And a couple more varieties of his best seed stock and smuggled them back to Texas. I used WW as my base plants and used pollen from Bubbleberry, and Kali Mist or (Western Winds) over the next years to produce my own hybrid which I eventually named BubbleberryWonderMist which was a true one hit dope. But it seemed like you would always take more than one hit because it taste so damn good. WW was the best base plant to start with because it was the most potent plant of the time. People accused me of spraying illicit chemicals on the smoke because they got so stoned on it, I told them to not smoke as much of it due to it's extremely stony effect. Williams Wonder was in my opinion the best and easiest dope to grow and clone I have ever come across in my life. I lost my house in a fire and all of it's contents and my precious WW seeds and BubbleberryWonderMist seeds, and am searching the internet trying to locate some more William Wonder Seeds to start growing once again, they are great seeds and plants and so easy to grow with a high you just can't get enough of.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings on.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your W.W. grow....Its the 1st REAL STRONG strain that I obtained back in 1985 when SSSC first opened....Fortunately, I had a few yrs of grow experience prior to that, but only with the best BAG SEEDS I could obtain....The original W.W. was AMAZING...hopefully those are the original genetics...you will be very happy...I grew it for nearly 15 yrs, alongs with some others that were coming out....The original was listed as 45 day flowerer....I'm guessing that was only because the REAL test of ripeness was not yet known (when amber Trich heads start to appear)...but I always harvested mine according to the 45 day spec and it was just fine...Good luck and have fun with it....Cutttings ofnWW were the easiest I have ever done....Mine would fully root in a week...YT

Here's a clone 11 days after cutting.

Again, its cut stem with razor, strip leaves with same, dip bottom into rooting powder, stick in cup of water under light, wait.

Fancy cloners can certainly be helpful, but they may not be necessary.

(No coffee was harmed in the making of this clone).

Love the Hi-Tech Starbucks cloner bro.
And I hope the old genetics of Willam is there...

IMG_20240117_175912.jpgDarn I missed all the fun here. I am astounded WW came from Oregon. I am lucky enough to have grown it and grown Quimby in Oregon. I grew SSSC WW from seed. I tested Rez's Willy D f2's (Excellent). I wish someone would send me WW seeds to test.

Last thing I had heard was that Reeferman and BCBD had a cut that was around awhile back. Now I am hearing the real deal is in and from Oregon. The stuff I harvested in 1988 from seed smelled like basooka joe bubblegum. An old seed catalogue says it crosses well to sativas. I am deciding which indica to cross the sk#1 to. ( Pure skunk still the best, reg. seeds of that are planned.)
It's tough after the busts. I am kinda forced to grow seedless now. But I have flowers opening right now of reversed females which is an emergency preservation move because of corrupt law Nazis taking my legal pot. I will make a selective pollination. In the next days.
Anyway, I naturally have a fondness for WW. It was in my first garden.

Does anyone have the Willy D? I heard it's here in VA. I really would love to find a fire cut of Willy D. Also Romulan x Chemo.
