I've got a couple plants I'm testing this out on and I hung mine for the normal time before I trimmed it. I'm getting the impression that you jarred yours the day you cut it. It's amped up the taste, but mine looks about like I would expect it after having it in jars for a week.
Yes, Morglie, it was cut from the branch directly into the jar and dropped into the fridge. I washed the buds and let them drip-dry for four hours before trimming them off. If you hang it to dry first, as normal, you lose up to half the monoterpenes and much of the flavonoids, which determine color. We don't yet understand what benefit the flavonoids can offer, since the practice up to now has been to hang and dry for up to a week.
Have you noticed any increase in the potency of the euphoric experience? I definately found that to be true in all three strains that I've tried like this so far.

I was just explaining to Canyon at the study hall that you get faster drying if you cut the buds down to size. This is how I cut mine down, and they were good to go at two weeks.
This was my largest bud.
