Judging by the leaves, it looks like you nute burned the plant or had some other issues. This is why the buds aren't as big or compact as you'd like. I had similar issues my first grow, but it only affected my yield. The smoke was still fantastic after drying and curing for a few weeks!
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. One more question.
This strain is supposed to be high in THC and give you a mellow, "couch lock" type buzz. It's been drying for about a week now and when I smoke it it gives me a decent buzz but nothing spectacular. It also almost always gives me anxiety almost instantly. I can feel my brain "twitching" also if that makes any sense (probably the anxiety). Any weed I buy does not do this. Any ideas as to why? Is it just the strain or did it not grow properly? I am almost certain I harvested it at the right time.
If you're getting anxiety from smoking your bud, chances are it's more potent than the stuff you're used to. Also if you harvest early (mostly cloudy trichomes), you will get more of a head high rather than couch lock. This may also be contributing to the anxiety. If you don't like the high, try harvesting a week or two later when you have more amber trichomes next time. This will give you the couchlock high if you seek it, and will probably cut down on the anxiety as well. Also, you need to cure your buds in mason jars! Don't judge the bud after 3 days of drying. I guarantee you the smoke will only get better with time. I don't smoke my bud until it's been jarred for at least a month, and I've heard of people around here waiting even longer. Congrats on your first grow. Most people don't get any bud their first time.
