it looks like a harmless stinkbug, but all bugs are harmful to your plants,,,[ exept, ladybugs e.t.c. ] best to be bugfree in your enviorment,

your plants are looking good, a little nuteburn, perhaps? maybe straight water, for 2 wks, since your getting ready to induce flowering,

those nutrients, you have thier, are of natural ingrediants, make the mix a little weaker, and check your drainage on those pots,

it could also be a stink bug... this is waht it looks like... similar to urs...

Several species of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) feed on maize. Among the more common species are the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say) (see figure), green stink bug, Acrosternum hilare (Say), and the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.). Brown and green stink bugs have been reported as far north as Quebec. In the United States, however, they are more often injurious in the South. Although the southern green stink bug occurs outside the United States, in this country it occurs only from Texas to the Atlantic coast and northward to Virginia.
Stink bugs are known for their foul odor. They are shield-shaped insects with five-segmented antennae and a large scutellum (triangle) on the center of the back (see figure). The color patternsvary with the species.
When first laid, the barrel-shaped eggs of the green stink bug are yellow to green, later turning pink to gray. Eggs of the green stink bug measure 1.4 x 1.2 mm. The white, kettle-shaped eggs of the brown stink bug are slightly smaller than those of the green stink bug. The creamy, cylindrical eggs of the southern green stink bug measure 1.0 by 0.75 mm and develop a pinkish hue before hatching.
Nymphs resemble adults but are smaller. Green stink bug nymphs are predominantly black when small, but as they mature, they become green with orange and black markings. Nymphs of the brown and southern green species are light green. Southern green stink bug nymphs, however, have two series of white spots along their backs.
Adults of the various species range in size from about 12 to 19 mm in length. Green and southern green stink bugs are bright green and measure 14.0 to 19.0 mm long. The major body regions of the green stink bug are bordered by a narrow, orange-yellow line. Brown stink bugs are dull brownish-yellow in color and 12.0 to 15.0 mm long.

lookin' good man... do you put anything on the chopped end of the stem when you top? I topped my plant once and the stem top turned black and its looking like some of the leaves are getting diseased... i heard you were supposed to put honey on it but i'm not sure

You should sterilize your scissors before cutting to avoid diseases....
