first time, about to harvest, have a few questions

Whatsup yall...like the title says, this was my first go around. i am about 4-10 days away from harvesting (i think). i would like advice from you fine educated folk.
first some details:
strain: unknown, supposed to be trainwreck, but i doubt it.
grown in soil
grown from seed
using 400W HPS w/cool tube
been flowering for about 55-56 days. veg'd for about 10 weeks.


first off...i have a few pics and would like to know what you guys think. how close/or far am i actually from harvesting.

also this is really wierd but....

THEY DONT SMELL AT ALL.
i know some people would love to be able to avoid the smell and spend tons of money on carbon filters and ionizers, but these two girls dont smell. they look pretty good to me. im an avid smoker and know what good bud looks, smells, and tastes like. and for the life of me i cant figure out why there is literally no smell. just a planty smell.

so basically i wanna know why my two girls dont stink. do they start to smell more during the drying and/or curing process. will they not taste good if they dont smell good (since taste and smell are very closely related) should i be adding anything to the water in these last week (ive heard people use lemon or orange extract in the water to add a citrus-type of scent and flavor. im kinda wanted to avoid anything. also, ive been using organic nutes and stopped about 8-9 days ago and started with ph balanced water.

It looks good i dont know why you dont have any stink smell right now because it looks like it does.But that plant look likes it needs about 2 more weeks.

yah. i'm down for another two or so weeks as well.. check out a thread by faded, its an oldie but a goodie.. i think its caused harvesting and curing, a tutorial.. its stickied.. anywho's, in that thread, fdded has some great pix that show what your looking for when your weed is done.. they are pretty much the best pix i have seen on here that show the difference in the color and hue if finished buds over buds that aren't ready..
as for the smell.. like you already have stated, you know that some strains are known to be stinky, like ak 47 for example, and others are known to be less stinky, or even no stink.. nothern lights is a known low odor strain.. yours may just be one of the ones that are less stinky.. even still, i think that a good dry and cure will still help to bring out the true smell and therefore flavor of your bud. .. looks pretty dank other than that..
congrats on the soon to be harvest..
