that smell

Hi
my plants are in the finale phaze of bloom, right now im on my second flush.
but i sqeezed a bud to feel the fermness. and it left a piny/musty/skunkie smell. is this any reason to delay havesting?
since it was bag seed I cant tell what kind it is. any ideas?
is this oder going to smoke pleasently after proper dry and cure?

ive included some old pics. maybe to get an idea of the type of strain.

Trichomes

Trichomes are small appendages that look like hairs. They are produced by marijuana, and other plants. Female marijuana plants produce certain trichomes that are a rich source of THC. These trichomes can be found in their largest concentration on the buds. They start out clear, turn a milky color, then turn amber (light brown).

The trichomes in picture 1 are clear. After the plant has flowered for a few weeks, the trichomes start to turn a milky color (picture 2). After a few more weeks, they will be totally milky in color. In the later stages of flowering, trichomes will turn to a light brown color (picture 3). The amount of time required to get to this point depends on the marijuana strain and the growing conditions.

In picture 2 you can see the stems have started to turn from a clear color to a milky translucent color. For maximum THC content and a more cerebral and energetic high, harvest your plants when a majority of the trichomes on the plants in your garden are a fully milky translucent color.

You can wait until most of the trichomes have started to turn amber, but the resulting marijuana will produce more of a sleepy body stone than it would if plants were harvested earlier. The trichome in picture 3 is about 90% amber, with just a trace of the milky translucent color it previously possessed.

After the trichome is fully amber in color, the THC starts to degrade. This makes it very important to harvest marijuana at the time before a majority of the trichomes have attained a total amber color. If not, the marijuana will not be as potent as it could have been.

isnt pot smelling skunky good?(i always thought so) my plant smells kinda piney like that too......its perfectly normal, no worries

OK kool I guess I havent noticed that before In my other grows.
thanks brick top for the chart, unfortionatly I dont have a scope as of right now. and I happen to be broke as hell also. so im doing it the old timer way and just looking at the pistels to turn and testers.


Im thinking that the plant is some type of sativa? Im thinking like a skunk of some type.

looks like some sour-d to me but idk nice job

thanks kush

hey brick, is that in a sticky somewhere? if not it should be....

well I just tested my stash, althuo ITs still green from the quick dry.
the taste is really pine flavored. but smokes smooth to my surprise.
Im thinking that my girl needs just another week, then I think that Im going to harvest.
I had a slight buzz before I toke one hit, IT has inhanced my high but nothing great.
I think that another week and proper drying and curing should, leave the bud really nice I hoping.
