That looks very similar to how mine turned out but is obviously more saturated with trichomes than my blueberry's ever were. In fact that looks better than almost anything I've ever grown except for some subcool seeds I once had, or maybe the Jack Herer I did many years ago, both of which I no longer have any of.
Well done! Makes me wish I could taste it for sure. I almost feel like I can taste it just off memory.
I haven't smoked grass since I was a teenager, but seems to me you guys do it like a hobby or pastime.
The grape growers who make wine are not far off your hobby, with their clones, blends, and "terroir" (soil and climate chartacteristics of an area that affect the plants grown there). Each season produces a different quality of grape, and the best vinters use their knowledge to extract the ideal flavor from the best grapes available.
I'm a wine enthusiast but the California brands alone are so extensive it would seeminly be impossible to be an expert on all of it. I know pretty much most of the Central Coast wineries, many of the vinyards and grapes, from Paso Robles to Santa Maria, Santa Rita Hills, Lompoc to Santa Barbara, and the micro climates that produce my favorite Pinot Noir/Chardonnay, Syrah and Zinfandels.
Wine too can be a hobby. People even collect it. Fortunately, it's perfectly legal and at the high end, respectable. The wine country attracts the best chefs who use their availability of farm fresh foods to create culinary pleasures so delicious that they too can create a high.
If you ever have to stop growing pot, I suggest looking into wine making.

There are pot conniseurs just like wine, you're right. I'm not one though.
If I were compared to someone in the wine industry I'd be more like the early ernest and julio gallo box of wine in bulk for pennies on the dollar pioneers.
I have no taste when it come to alcohol either, never really cared for wines. Hell my favorite beer was budweiser while everyone else was jumping all over the micro brews.

I think my all time best mommy was Northern Lights.

It's been PROVEN that wine "experts" can't tell the difference between cheap wine and expensive wine. It's all hype.

I don't know about pot. I am not an expert in either drugs or alcohol.
I'm not an expert either, there are few true experts and they often don't last too long.

John,
I'm not an expert but I assure you the experts most definitely can tell the difference, it's the average person who can't. Most people can't tell the difference between a cab and a merlot, a chablis and a sauvignon blanc. Most of the taste is in the smell. The nose has to be developed and trained.
I'm only good with a few grapes. Pinot Noir is a standout as far as difficulty getting a good one cheap - I have not found more than a couple I like that are under $20. It's a tempermental grape to grow and the good winemakers push hard to buy the best crops. I have found many Chardonnays and Sauvingnon Blanc's that are reasonably prices. Cabs and blends are much more likely to involve proper aging, and I am not so good with them and just drink them mostly cheap and with food.
It's kind of like Pepsi and Coke. Most people could not tell the difference and some could get 100 out of 100 right.
