Was such a pleasure to grow. Grew really fast. Vegged out at day 27Days and flowered till day 70. It could of been pult on day 63. But, I decided to let her eat the rest in the pot by soft flushed her. Took the run-off test last night. Used 3L of water, got about 1.5L of run-off back and was in the 400+ppm .8EC range. Then I left her back under the light for 24hrs and she drank a good bit of what was in it, as the pot was much lighter. So, she could of been left a little longer. But she is done. There's little to no larf, yes, there's a few popcorn buds but they are dense. The whole structure is bud laden. From bottom to top she's 98% orange pistils with nice frosty bud, (didn't bleed much out onto leafs, 'trichomes'). She is 95-100% cloudy trichomes at the top and at the lower ends she's 90-95% cloudy. But all buds have swelled as much as they are going to. And leaving it any longer will just damage trichomes. The top colas were getting so heavy the tops were starting to bend over. She was a hungry plant. Loves micro nutrients, especially Iron, she lives on Iron and other micro nutrients right into 1st week of flowering she will show signs of needing micro nutrients. Other than that, she was a pure gift. No larf, and all the pistils turned Amber, thereabouts. On my next 1, I'll be using more enzymes and making for a better root zone. I have 1 seed left so she will be in the ground again come Xmas.
As for the bud, she is very sweet smelling, with a kinda earthy/musky scent, (it has a very unique smell profile, let me put it like that), there is other hints of smells, like orange zest or some sort of citrus fruits, hard to put your finger on it as shes overpowered with the smell I just said, but is a bud that I expect when you grind different buds you'll get little hints of all sorts. So, I'm not going to put 1 smell to it yet, (on the cure I'm sure she'll come into her own) Very pungent and sticky, and very stinky. Her buds are whole, and very tight together, fair amount of sugar leafs but nothing to complain about. Can feel the bud is nice a hard and dense hard nugs. My 1st, were the buds don't press and squish together.
Will update on smell properly once I cure.
I will be taking 5-10grams once its dry to smoke so I'll be putting up a smoke report before and after the cure.
As for the weight, I have no idea. As I hung dry it whole, I was going to use the attic but the spare bedroom upstairs bathroom is 18-20c and 65RH, (and hasn't got 100s of bugs). So I hung 2 plants. I took a sample and dried out wet 5.8 grams into 1.8 and was happy with that. So, I have a gauge as to what the wet weight will be. What's up now is just a guess, when I strip & trim I'll give a True Dry weight.
