They look pretty damn good to me. The bottom leaves are probably just curling and turning yellow because the plant is using the energy from the leaves to fuel the bud producing.

Not sure how long they have, not familiar with the strain. How are the trichs looking?

First I would like to start off saying that these plants look wonderful! Congrats on that. Second, as far as looking "ready" goes it depends on your preference for the smoke. Judging by the hairs they look pretty close. The best thing to do is to get a magnifiying scope (many companies make one specifically for viewing your buds) and check the trichomes to see if they have turned amber in color. This indicates that the bud is mature and ready for harvest. Some people prefer to harvest sooner, when fewer trichomes have turned amber, this is said to give you a more "cerebral" or head high; others prefer to harvest once most or all have turned, and this is said to produce more of a "body" buzz. This is because at the end of the flowering cycle the THC(tetrahydrocannabinol) starts to break down, or oxidized into CBD (cannabinol) which gives you the body buzz; The higher the THC ratio the more cerebral and visa versa. I hope that helps. Here is a great link that explains it in much more detail and tells you exactly what to look for when viewing the trichs(http://www.420magazine.com/forums/how-grow-marijuana/71982-what-trichomes-trichome-101-a.html). Good luck with the harvest, great job!

I was using some simple chemical nutes. 20-10-10 for veg and 10-30-10 for flowering... not 100% sure about the npk values though.

also used molasses during veg and flowering, seems to have worked really well. also plants were LST'd for the frist few weeks of veg then untied.

These plants also went throught a shitload of stress... transplanted too many times, radical temp changes, nute burn, and bug problems... glad i got them this far lol
