Who knows what strain...impossible to tell for sure. Especially now.

Dude, that plant is NOWHERE NEAR READY.

And you don't harvest based on time or how the hairs look alone.

Do some reading in the grow faqs

I would buy a little $10 hand microscope from Radio Shack.

At over 10X magnification and above, it becomes easy to make out the distinct colors of the trichs. When you harvest should be confirmed by the trichs. If you want a super stoney smoke like I do, let it go unti it just looks done, and check the trichs to make sure.

The reason I suggest this is because the mind is a powerful thing. After staring at that pretty MJ growing for months, people tend to convince themselves it looks done because they are so eager to sample it. Dont make the samwe mistake and harvest early! It makes no sense to put in all that time and energy to not get the best smoke you can, right?

Plus, during the final two weeks of flower, your buds will swell up to 25% of their total weight. What does this mean? HARVESTING EARLY, POTENTIALLY, CAN COST YOU 25% OF YOUR YIELD! Think about it...

can i clone the plant when its full of buds its only 7 weeks old
You can, but it can be difficult. If you are inexperienced with cloning, I would advise against it.

You would have to put it back into veg, which will stress the plant and require you to meet it's needs. No offense intended, but I am not sure you have the knowledge yet to do this.

You may risk chopping up a good plant that offers a great potential for learning, only to meet with major difficulties. Take it one step at a time, would be my suggestion, but yes, it is possible.

pff i really cant wait for the final result so i cant put it back in vegetative it will cost time and so on
but this plant is doing really good job i really enjoy and want to save it may be i should think about reveging the plant
what do you think about my fertilizer its a blue powder that mixes with water

/the level of NPK is 20-20-20 and it has microelements B/Cu/Fe/Mn/Mo/Zn/Mg
i was using this fertilizer for the whole period from seed to bud

ok i am goin for lunch now be back with some photos

Looks great but ya got a ways to go. How long ago did the pistils start to amber?

I would guess a month or so. Total guess though. How long have you been flowering now?
