I ended up taking her down a week early for two reasons. First reason was because I was still finding seeds here and there the past week. And second reason is the trichomes were actually developed the way I wanted them. They were 80% cloudy with 10% clear and 10% amber. Going another week probably would have changed the amber to being 20-30. I will be giving An update in around 5 days or so with the dry results. Update on smoke after cure. This is my first grow and I have seen the results first hand of how a good cure affects the buds. After a month of curing the buds had gotten much smoother than when first harvested. After that there hasn't been much of a change in smoothness. The bud has a very earthy pine taste to it. Overall very decent tasting bud but nothing to write home about.
Well the buds have finished drying a Lil early at 4 days ready for curing. For my first grow I feel my harvest was pretty good. There was about 3.5 Oz of decent size buds and about 1.5 Oz of popcorn. Bc I harvested a Lil early the buds weren't quite as dense as I would have hoped. They weren't airy but they had a slight sativa looking bud structure. Had I let it go another week or 2 they would have probably been a lot more dense. The smoke so far after drying is OK. It doesn't have to much flavor yet but the high is pretty good and not to much couch lock. I'm hoping to see the buds flavor and potency improve over the next couple weeks during the cure. Will update in a couple weeks with how the smoke is after curing.
