Well, the initial smoke report is here...

I have to say, the taste is not where it should be, but should come with a cure. The taste right now isn't green or "minty" which I usually get from fresh buds. Honestly, it's sweet and spicy like the "Big Bud" or "Critical" that's in it. Tastes like my White Widow X Big Bud auto I grew after it had cured. I did smell the diesel at week 6, so I sure hope that comes back! The high, however, is amazing! Comes on heady, then hits the body after 30-40 minutes. Lasts a good couple hours! More importantly, it helps with my wife's neuropathy, which was the main goal of the grow! I'll post a proper report in a couple weeks, once it has time to diesel up a bit... I hope...
I decided to cut the buds of the main cola from their branches and weigh them. They were a little wet still, which isn't surprising since it's the biggest part. At any rate, it weighed 13.3g, but I think it'll lose at least 1.3g of water over the next couple days. I doubt the rest of the crop will lose 10% more, though.
Apparently 3 days in darkness + 1 day of hanging in 80+ degree heat (yes, that's in an unlit grow room!) = some pretty dry buds. The last two or three weeks have been brutal, with grow room temps in the mid 90s. They were in the low 100s last year when I was using CFL! Heat was one of the main reasons I switched to LED, and now I'm hooked!
