Well, the Help_Needed curse has struck one last vicious blow. I got a bad case of mold.

It's partly my fault, but mostly just due to inexperience. In my excitement at finally having my crop harvested I didn't give the buds enough time to dry before I jarred them. In my defense, since I've never smoked before I had no idea what the buds should have looked or felt like. But the end result is, that I lost 3/4 of my crop

.

I'm left with about 1/2 oz. Fortunately, my smoking habits are running very similar to my drinking habits - light, occasional use - mostly on weekends. So I'll probably have enough to last me until my next crop comes in. And my next grow is well under way. If I wanted I could switch my lighting over to 12/12 today and harvest my next crop in about 8 weeks. But I think I'm going to learn my lesson instead, and practice patience.
