Job well done!...it's easy to grow little one stalkers in small pots like I do..but it takes big balls to grow a big one like that!
and who knows she might even take a little longer than two weeks more by the looks of the close-up! it looks like it needs another month at least to swell to it's maximum...I hope the weather stays mild until then!
to those who are watching with plants close to harvest...it might be a good idea to pick off the yellowed and about to fall off leaves daily as they stand out and may attract attention and also may/can fall off and land on an inner bud and cause mold during high humidity times.
I didn't have a mite all year (pre-sprayed miticide in Spring) and now the weather has become cooler and much drier my later finishing sativas are all showing some minor attacks and one or two have a more serious mite infestation and are similar to your plant....it's sub tropical here, but usually mites are not a problem in October..
of course it's too late for spraying anything but strong sprays of water* to wash the mites off ..which is an effective, safe but labor intensive method to use in early flowering if every leaf is sprayed daily, but impractical on a big tree..and you have to aim the strong jets of water away from the buds and trichomes and when you harvest remove all the leaves and bury or burn them (use a microscope to check out the undersides of the leaves! and you def will not try to make hash from them) then hang the whole tree upside down outdoors for a few days so the adult mites walk off the plant ..after a few days hanging under a tree or in the garage i often soak the buds from mited trees in water for an hour or so then give each branch a gentle shake underwater and flick them in long armed easy loops to get most of the water off and hang to slow dry...and of course give that plant a real close manicure!
*unless you are a cash cropper that is!

I haven't seen a mite all year. Sucks that you've got them.
My weather will prob only allow for another two weeks, understanding fully that they're not completely done. It's just the compromise to growing monster sativas in this part of the world.
In regards to your method of cutting/drying...I've always been able to remove the heavy earth taste of outdoors by cutting, trimming, and hanging them right away. We've all got our ways. Mine works for me...sounds like yours works for you.
fuk'n a bro great job. Make sure to keep us updated on the weight, very curious.

Thanks Cheif. Ill let you know ASAP. Oh
Its amazing how fast a plant will mature in the last couple weeks. I think if youve got two weeks you will do pretty good. That girl has flat got it in gear right now. You can see huge change daily this time of year. Look at the yellow coming... she is going fast and will show you whats up in the next two weeks 
good luck!! long as the weather holds a bit youll do great !!

how big was the hole you dug?
btw, I bet you get closer to 2lbs, as opposed to only 1.
