Thanks guys! Here are the cure pictures of a couple of buds. They will still cure for the next few weeks, although I have been sampling and notice slightly smoother flavor and more intense stone the longer they cure. The main difference I notice between the regular plant and the 12/12 from seed buds is that the 12/12 is light and airy and the regular buds are very hard and dense.
It is kind of hard to tell from the pictures but here is the dense rock-hard bud from the plant with 1 month of veg time:
Here are the light and airy buds from the 12/12s:
Now for the quick smoke report, this won't be in as much detail as some of the more experienced growers but should give a good idea on this strain. I tried buds at different stages.
about 70% cloudy and 30% clear trichs:
This was greenish woodsy taste and the high was mostly in the head but not very strong.
close to 100% milky trichs:
This was a softer, lighter, slightly sweet smoke (i'm not very good at describing all of the flavors) with a nice relaxing feeling on the body and a slightly dreamy head feeling.
All milky and maybe 10% amber trichs:
Same soft, light, slightly sweet smoke that seems to fill the lungs (doesn't cause me to cough or anything) more of a relaxing body with slightly heavy legs (this is a cool feeling) and a more dreamy head (kind of hard to have a good conversation as I find myself not remembering what someone just was talking about

)
Overall, I am very happy with the smoke of Serious Seeds Chronic. I would recommend this strain even though I did not get a huge yield but good enough for a novice like me. It has a good all-around high as far as I'm concerned.
Now off to start my white widow grow journal...
