First Time Grow!! No Smell!! Whats wrong??

Purple Wheelchair –
Im an insomniac and use for medicinal purposes.
A friend of mine gave me 3 plants, 1 was a mother plant and the other 2 were clones of what he told me is called a PURPLE WHEELCHAIR Strain that is very hard to find around and very potent for insomniacs. Tried searching on the internet and i barely found any info on that strain, so i took his word for it. I would really appreciate it if anyone can help provide any info about it.
[FONT=&quot]The plants were given to me in 3 litre pots and each plant was about 6 inches tall. This is my first grow so i started searching on the internet and got a basic idea of what i need.

With each fertilizer used i put the recommended dosage as shown on the pack, not the dosage i used for my plant.
The dosage i used is shown later on while explaining the vegetative and flowering stages.

Vegetative stage :
I set everything up and for the first week i was just using water, watering whenever the top soil is dry.
Then i decided to move them to bigger pots. 10 Litre Black Pots. For each pot I mixed Yates potting mix with 3 tsp of root blast and 300 grams of potato food to make sure enough calcium and magnesium are available. Placed the mix in the pot and moved the plants into the new pots.
I gave back the 2 clones to my friend and kept the mother plant for myself.
The mother plant was placed in the closet under HPS 400 W and 4 Bright Daylight Bulbs. All lighting on 24/7 and Co2 burner at the bottom.
Food used was a mixture of Miraclegro (¾ scoop), Reward Lawn Food (1 Capful) and 5 Litres of Water. I would feed it every other day when the top soil is dry. Kept going like this till the plant reached 17.5 inches and started covering all the pot. I then moved it into a 30 Litre Purple Pot, adding more potting mix, rootblast and potato food. All mixed consistently before transplanting. I kept it in vegetative stage for another 2 days so the plant adapts to its new pot.
Flowering Stage :
At around 18&#8221; i started the flowering stage by removing the Bright Daylight bulbs and cutting back the HPS to 12/12.
Started feeding it brigitta African violet. (10 tsp of it mixed with 5 litres of water)
After 16 days the plant reached 39&#8221; high and 25&#8221; wide, stopped growing and white hairs started increasing all over it with Fan leaves starting to yellow out and fall off. Stopped using CO2 from this point.
After 4 weeks of the flowering stage i had reached 15 tsp African Violet Food mixed with 5 litres of water, I thought it would take about 2 more weeks for it to be ready for harvest so i stopped using fertilizer and started flushing it with water and molasses. Started with 1 tblsp molasses for every 5 litres of water left out for 24 hours before flushing the plant. After 2 weeks (Week 6 of Flowering Stage) the plant still had all white hairs and not ready . Only Small buds. Trichomes are plenty but till this point NO SMELL.
I then decided to go back to fertilizing it. I was out of African Violet food so decided to use Jobes Tomato Spikes. I placed 4 in the pot and kept watering it with molasses. After a week (Week 7 of Flowering Stage) i only found 1 spike left. I took it out threw it away and used 3 Jobes Aquatic Plant Spikes and kept watering with molasses. After about another week (Week 8 of Flowering Stage) i only found one of the spikes so i threw it out and decided to get back to using African Violet Food.
From the beginning of week 8 i stopped using molasses. Just using African Violet Food 25 tsp mixed with 5 litres of water for every feed. Buds started increasing in size and some of the white pistils started turning brown and a couple of them have gone dark red.
In mid of the 8th week of flowering i changed the light hours to 11 light/13 dark and increased the dehumidifier speed to lower the humidity even more.
I am currently at the end of week 8 of the flowering stage. In the mid of week 9 of the flowering stage i will be reducing the light to 10 light/14 dark, stop using fertilizer and back to flushing it with water and molasses.
I have added some pics over the whole progress till now currently at end of week 8 of the flowering stage.
Can anyone tell me if the plant looks healthy? If not what do you think is wrong ? Till this point i can barely smell the plant unless i get my head too close in it and start sniffing over it. It seems like there is NO SMELL at all.
[FONT=&quot] and how much longer before it is ready for harvest ?

Those plants look fantastic. They look to be in mid flower. I dont see any hairs turning brown so you have some time. The first thing to look for when getting ready to harvest is the hairs turning brown. This is just a sign that time is drawing near. You want to look at the tiny little crystals that form on the plant. These are called trichomes. They contian large amounts of the active chemical. When most of these trichomes turn milky white and amber, they are ready for harvest.

Since you are looking for a sleep aid, you will want the trichomes to be amber. Milky white trichomes give more of an energetic high. This is all 10,000 overview. There is so much information that i dont even know, but this forum has about 90% of it.

To see the trichomes you will need at least a 30x hand held microscope. I use a kids's toy microscope that i got from radio shack.

Again, the plants look fantastic. Good work. Maybe i should be asking you for advice.

Yep I agree your plants look awesome.. Don't worry about no smell it will come.. My plants are almost 7 weeks into flower and they just started to smell a little.. PEACE

Honestly this is my first grow mate..
The pictures are of 1 plant. the other 2 i got rid of...
I dont know i feel like it stopped maybe stunted growth or something.
Its been 9 weeks into flowering and its still not time.... This taking too long...
I just hope the waiting is gonna be worth it ... lol

Everything looks sweet I would just recomend some Mylar because foil doesn't work at all but no biggy. Good luck man

You're doing just fine. They look awesome. Some strains just don't smell that much. That's not a bad thing.

your grand its showing you they are done all the nitrogen is gone witch means yellow leaves

I harvested 2 small buds to try today.
Pistils are about 10% brown.
Dried them in the microwave and took a couple of tokes.

It gave me a head high that lasted about 20-30 minutes.

I think i will decrease the light photoperiod to 10 light/14 dark and start flushing with molasses.

If im right it should be ready for harvest in 1-2 weeks most. What you think ?

My fukin goodness - that plant is the biggest ive ever seen total monsters! How much u pulled in from it?

Im new to growing myself , microwaving your bud to dry is ok ?

Its still not ready for harvest... i just pulled out 2 small buds to sample.

Drying in microwave is just for sampling the buds. There are alot of threads around about different drying techniques..

Its gots to be mold.happend to me with 2 plants early misty and purple#1 my mistake is that I dident have ac in my grow room and those plants wher 4 feet. Buded and evrthing but no smell . One day I was looking at the plants and saw what look to be webs but it was mold.

No webs and no mold on the plant mate....
It looks very healthy but no SMELL yet ....

Is there any way i can tell what strain the plant is ?

Absolutely no way what so ever.

I don't know why you aren't getting any smell but look at it this way - You obviously know how to grow. Now for your next grow either get some quality seeds or cutting and you're laughing.
