Very nice!
When to harvest? When the majority of it's glandular trichomes are ripe. Opaque is ripe, clear is not ripe, amber is overripe. What strain is this supposed to be? I'll take a guess and say five more weeks (10 week total). I'll be harvesting my AK-47 and Bubblegum x Blueberry this week at 12 weeks. It sounds like a long time but that's what it took. A week ago there were few, if any opaque trichomes.

Its supposed to be a good skunk strain (What happened was when i was cleaning some bud one day i just threw the seeds on the soil and this popped up)
Not expecting it to be mind blowing, just nice to know i can smoke something i grew hahahaha
WOW, 5 more weeks hahahahahahaha i was starting to think its already waiting to be harvested , shows you what i know lol !! Thanks for the info bud
As for your strains, that sounds TOO YUMMY !!! Gosh, if only i could grow that :P

you are very lucky to have great genetics to start out with and you will love your smoke not just because its good but because you grew it
my first crop was from some dirt seeds but i love it because it was cool to have my own homegrown my friends didnt like it that much but to me it was the bomb
but hay here is some advice to get a better smoke
have you heard of flushing? its easy to do pluss it will make your smoke burn better and taste better what you do is about a week or 2 before harvest run nothing but water threw your plant the amounts depend on your container or if its from the ground depends on how quick your soil drains (what flushing dose is it drains all the exess chemicals and nutes from your soil kind of detoxing your plant.
also cure after you dry this will help bring the bud back to being moist and helps with the over all quality, this will also bring the trichomes out
trust me you want your bud to sparkle it truly is a sight to see.
so far so good keep us posted!
good luck!!!

^^ Thanks GrowHand for the awesome message , i read it like 15 times but could never reply cause the only times i read it was when i was high o_0

Just an update , i am a little worried and stressed. The last 2 days my plant has starting loosing a LOT of leaves ! The leaves mostly on the top of the plant have started to become dry (Like cotton mouth dry whahahahahha dont even know why i said that .... ). I have not changed anything , still giving it all the same water and shit , just lately he looks a bit sick ... Any ideas ?

Thanks :)

You actually want to see this at the end of the plant's life, as too much nitrogen will give lousy tasting weed. But usually this happens from the bottom up. What are you feeding these plants? That could be a reason, too much or too little of something.

Thanks For The Reply Bud :)
Well i did change from NITROSOL to WONDERSOL with the same recommended dose , now that i think about it , and that was like 5 days ago ... You recon it could be that ? Can i fix it :( Just giving it clean water for now

I would stop the Wondersol. I don't know much about that product but the plants seem to be reacting negatively to it.

Agreed.

If your only five weeks into flower then it's a little early for the leaves to be dying off. Looks like fert burn to me. Stick with straight water and molasses for now. Remember until you know how your plant will react to a fert it's always a good idea to start off with less than the recommended dose. Observe and adjust as needed. For now stop all fert and flush the soil.
