Currently smoking a small nug from the side bud of the plant. I've taken one bong hit and after a 2 minute coughing fit, I'm most decently stoned. First impressions:
1.) Initial taste is awesome! Can't really put my finger on it, but I'm hoping it will develop some more with the cure. It's already more flavorful then the ak x diesel I've been smoking on. However, after that first initial flavor burst, you're left with a pretty bland and generic taste when you blow out (and a bit in the aftertaste too). Not terrible, but I think it's mostly due to no cure and still a bit green.
2.) A bit harsh, again no cure and too green might be the cause of this.
3.) Stone so far is really good, I was expecting a more indica buzz but it feels decidedly sativa. But seeing as I've only taken my second hit, I'm very happy with it.
4.) Bud structure is great, I think I can get them a bit denser and a little bit tighter, but they've been some of the nicest I've grown. I'll get some pics of them up this weekend.
5.) Smell off the buds is disappointing right now, hay smell galore on the main cola. The lower portion of the plant had some nugs that were smelling nice already so I'm hoping the cure, again, will help me here.
All in all I've really enjoyed growing this strain. The plants that are flowering now are about 4 inches or so bigger then this plant. I'd say this plant is going to yield me around 25 grams give or take. I'll post up a weigh in when I put up the pics.

the other girls are already flowering, next harvest is planned for may 18th. Hopefully I'll hit my target goal of 2 oz's per plant(@ 4 plants = 8 oz total).

Figured I'd update a little bit about the smoke report. My initial views sill remain the same, I think I've narrowed down the flavor to something similar to anise but not quite. I will flip my view on the overall high, while the initial toke or two left me with a great sativa like high, after I finished the bowl and sat for a bit the indica portion took over and kicked my ass. Really strong couch lock high that left me unable to drive for an hour or two (should have thought twice about smoking before I needed to run out lol). After I made my first smoke report the high really took over and I couldn't focus on the screen, I had to go sit on the couch and close my eyes and take it in. Very, very, strong (just the way I like it). Definitely a night time smoke for me, I could not be productive during the day if I smoked this. It definitely helped cure the little bout of insomnia I've been having, was in bed and lights out at 10:30 last night. Torwards the end I started to get a headache, but I think that was due to eye strain and overall tiredness. A buddy had dropped in and said the buds smelled super skunky, but I just don't smell that. However, after spending a few hours in the jar the hay smell dissapated and a slightly sweeter aroma took over when I opened the jar. Much more pleasent then when they were hanging on the clothes hangar, but still not at the level I want (I know, I'm picky, but go big or go home)
I weighed the buds last night and after the few bowls I had taken out it came to 28.6 grams. Now keep in mind I have some moisture that needs to be brought out. So this number will probably drop a couple more grams in the next few days. I checked the buds this morning and they were still slightly crispy on the outside. I know that when I make it home tonight they'll need to be taken out of the jar and placed in a paper bag for 12 hours before going back to the jar. I'll probably repeat that process about two more times before they can sit sealed without fear of mold.
I'd definitley reccommend DNA's LA Confidential hands down, this was a great deal from the attitude and I'm super glad I hopped on. Can't wait to see the results of the "big" grow currently running, then it's off the to kushberries. I may hold a small poll to let you guys choose what I run next, but if my girl actually gets motivated enough to grow a plant with me I'm going to let her pick.

Day 25
Fed tonight with 1 tsp FN Bloom + 1 tsp Snow Storm + 1/4 tsp Kool Bloom dry. However the PPM came out way too high (1400) so I dumped some and added more plain water. Final PPM 1110 @ 5.9 pH. Plants are looking pretty damn good and starting to uptake the water faster, might have to switch to every other day as a watering schedule. Bud production is going great and the rest of the vegetation looks pretty healthy. Still have 40 days to go, but the weeks keep slipping by

Your plants look really happy! So are you about half way there (how many days are you going to flower)?

Oh, I'm sure they will! Your current girls in flower look excellent. I think with my next grow I'm going to try and lollipop a plant or two and see what the results are. I trimmed some of these girls but couldn't bring myself to remove the growth necessary for that lol.

Already looks like you're going to do better then the last round, yield wise. They seem to be flowering fast for day 28.

I'm actually more or less at the same spot I was with the first run. These plants are just a little bit bigger so I should hopefully end up with more. I'll be able to make a better comparison around day 45 I think. Either way the plants are looking gorgeous and chugging along quite well.

Day 31
Fed tonight 4 ml fn Bloom + 2.5 ml Kool Bloom liquid + 1/4 tsp (little less then so actually) Kool Bloom dry + 1 tsp Snow Storm + 1 tbsp Molasses @ 6.3 pH and 1200 PPM.
Plants are looking healthy overall, I'm just waiting for the buds to really start packing on weight here in the next few weeks. So far the molasses has made no noticeable difference in the odor, but it's only the second application so I'll keep trying with it. Otherwise I'm pretty much at the half way point in the grow and things are looking awesome so far.

Day 36
Watered the girls last night with a clearex solution. The tallest girl is showing some major problems and the smaller ones are catching up. Now I had some leaf problems around this time with my other grow, and I thought it was due to some salt buildup/nute overdose, but now I'm not so sure. So instead of just hitting them with a super high dose of nutes thought I might remove lockout from list of problems. Next watering I'll give them 8 mls of FN Bloom instead of 5.
I'll get some pics but the problem is newer growth yellowing with some necrosis and purpling of the leaves.

So here's some pics of the problem plant plus a couple of quick snaps over the over all grow. The buds are pretty much right on track to where they were with the other plant. Hopefully I'll get this fixed, or it doesn't affect my grow, it's definitely make me lose a little sleep at night that's for sure lol.
