Today as I went to c them, they had fallen, but their back straight again after some fixing..

Their covered in resin, two big ones has pretty much brown pistils, others have very little brown pistils, the pistils are mainly bone white.. and they allso look bit "fluffy"..

I woud like to have smoke that will make me really stoned. Stoned as a stone..

And please be honest, do they look (somehow?) like crap?

They don't look like crap at all. It would be easier to judge how close they are to being done if you would pull the plants out from under the light and take some pics.

To truly judge when to harvest you need to get a scope or jeweler's loup and take a look at the trichs. All clear, not ready, some cloudy some clear, take a test nug to see how you like it.

The further amber in the trychs you go the more couch lock the buzz will be. But be careful, don't go too far, 30% amber should be about your limit. Go to much further out and you'll start to lose potency.

Really, you need to grow a pheno a few times to find the perfect harvest time for you. Did you keep cuts of this plant?

Hellooo.. sigh..

Emm sorry but I dont quite understand the words amber/trych.. Do you mean I have to look the resin glands or what?.. I have some lame magnifier glass, I dont know how much it can "zoom".. And can you try somehow "guide" me bit more how do I end this?

No... I didnt take any cuts as this is my first grow on any kind of cannabis.. sigh.. I wanted to just try this whitout next straight away..

Ill take picture when the lights are off..

man, they look just fine don't let yourself down!

get one of these:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-led-40x-microscope-without-scale-markings-1323
from this site i bought this very one. it came after 2 months from hong kong but the shipping was free! maybe you can get something faster (and most likely more expensive)... :-)
(be careful: once you start to magnify you can't stop! you'll discover a whole other micro-world you didn't know existed, expecially when stoned :D)

do you have a grow guide?
you need information about trichomes.
you call them "resin glands" it's the same thing. the proper name should be "glandular trichomes". basically they are the means of the psychoactive substances in cannabis.
they look a little like mushrooms...
i found this on sensi forum, very helpful:
http://forum.sensiseeds.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5193
the thing is: as they mature they will change colour.
at first they will appear small and very clear, transparent.
then they'll get bigger and "cloudy" as melvan says... cloudy means somehow whiteish but no longer transparent. when they turn amber they are at the last stage of maturation.
so, when melvan says "your limit is 30% amber" she means to have 30% of the trichomes amber (and probably most of the remaining 70% would be cloudy).
if you know a particular strain and a particular phenotype of that strain, you will know exactly at which point you have the desired effect.
petrolss explained to you in the other thread: gather information about cannabinoids (it's chemistry) and how maturation effects them.
i read cervantes' "the bible" (the real name should be "the indoor-outdoor medical grower bible") it explains well the argument, but there are many readings you can do on this matter.
also you'll find on youtube some videos about all this.

good luck, and don't be scared, you'll have a good time!
best

they look top notch helpme, id say from the pics they have a few weeks left to go, if you think there covered in resin now wait until there finished some plants produce more resin toward the end of there life to try and catch pollen but also as a defense against attacking animals/insects. nice work soon you'll be tasting the fruits of your labor and then weed bought on the street will never seem the same again.

Hey, hey..

Thanks a lot of the comments alsc n' sicklehand.. loads of new information, links and mood lifting words..

I dont have anykind of book, sure ill get one some day.. Planed a trip to Amsterdam n' get stuf from there with suitcase. I putted upp these setupps and wanted to try how this growing thing works.. only growers who I got help from is from here.. so thx for ya..

So.. I tried to find some scope from near-by shops but didnt get any result, and I cant really order anything atm.. Are those scopes designed for looking "jewerly" or what? I mean what stores shoud be selling them?

This is bit dumb question but if I wont get any instrument to look at the trichomes, is there anykind of "global deadline" with the weeks? Can there be told the amount of weeks in flowering that mainly is the longest period? How many weeks they can be absolutely max in flowering? I know there is tons of factors that makes the difference, but..

Thanks onced again guys, cant thank enoughhhh.. This has been such stressing experiment even thought it shoudnt be.. If I will succes with these and get these in glass yars I will cry my self to sleep beacuse I woud be so happy.. This woud be such a dream.. Still many things can go wrong.. fingers crossed..

Umm about the strain I think its somekind of superskunk.. my "friend" gave me some seeds.. He mensioned allso something about lemon.. I dont know anything about strains.. duh..
