When did you start to flower 12/12? Most non-auto's take 7-12 weeks. When your trichomes clear to milky white, and then you start to see amber trichomes, then you are ready. It's a personal preference if you wait for 20% amber, or 75% amber. The ore amber, the more of a Indica high, and with less, it's more of a sativa high (or so I have read).
I have been away so long! Things are progressing nicely in here! I would agree with the ladies that you have a while yet to go.
Let's take a looks see shall we? We have Skunk #1 from Sensei so that breeder notes that we should take from 45-50 days flowering. I believe you flipped the lights on March 7th or so. Let's say it took a week for them to get into flower mode which would be about the 14th. Today is the 11th so that means you are 4 weeks or 28 days into flower (give or take). So, you have anywhere from 18-23 days according to the breeder.
That is where Pinky's notes come into play as the breeder is giving you general info and you want to harvest for your wants and needs. So follow those Trics! Get a way to look at them close like a $25 usb microscope, jewlers lupe, camera with good macro, etc. Also look around on this site at some pics of trics to see what people are talking about as they can look way different on multiple breeds.
Update, sone leaves are turning yellow, i keed the ppm at 1,200 and PH at 6.3. Every third water I give her the nutrients of foxfarm big bloom (3tbsp per galon) and tiguer bloom (1tbsp per galon). Regular water with 1tbsp per galon of calmag and ph at 6.5.
It sorta just looks like the normal yellowing when they go into flowering and are using up the stuff in the leaves but it does look a bit early for them to be that yellow... Are you using any nutes at all that have a bit of nitrogen in them... Not a huge amount but I would give them a shot of it and see if that helps........
My guess is P from the color changes. Has that continued? It could be N too but those darker brown spots make me think otherwise. Are the buds growing quickly or more slowly than you expect?
Now we're talkin'! Those look fantastic and getting well down the road to being done. Still looks like all white pistils so there will be some swelling to those buds yet to go but they look great!

EDIT: And after seeing that I am with Dennise and I think you are doing great and seeing normal yellowing at the end of the grow. There is some debate as to if you should let them run out of N at the very end and yellow or not. I think you look just about right and maybe about 2-3 weeks to go (wild stab in the dark) but we flowered about the same time and that is when I will harvest.
Hi Mike,
I think Dr Bob and Dennise hit the nail on the head! Your buds look very nice, and you do see some yellowing towards the end...
I think you are going to have some great bud!
