Well, it appears it was taken a bit early, but not too early to be some very fine smoke!
I would say that, after closer inspection the trichs were about 60% cloudy and 40% clear..I saw no dark heads anywhere. Still, I am very pleased with the outcome.

Hope ya all know what it's like to be harvesting a strain you've only smoked once...and that was long ago..thinking you have to wait another 4-5 days before you can sample the fruits of your labor..makes ya wanna
So, next best option is the microwave quick-dry method. I learned about it
in this thread HERE. Surprisingly, the smoke was very pleasant...not a 6 week cure mind you, but damn smooth for fresh off the plant.
I fired up a small bowl of it, 3 hits and it was gone. Waited about 5 min and ...

..."I should be stoned as hell," I am thinking...and I ain't!

This is supposed to be the all powerful ATF? Ok...so, I fire up the last of my microwave bud...3 more hits. Head in the house...5 min. later...

Seems it took awhile for that buzz to get to work...

. High is loonnnggg lasting, mellow yet a bit stony. Very cranial as well..making me think this is more sativa oriented than indica.

Next ones will go another 6-10 days longer than this one did.
Odd thing with this plant..about 3 weeks into flower it had nice sticky and smelly buds forming, but then it almost seemed as if the trichs dried up. I am thinking this plant needs 8-10 weeks of flowering to really pack a punch, but damn, for a first try I'll take it!
