Judging by the current size with 4 weeks remaining. I would say to just continue what you are doing.Stop feeding about 10 days before harvest date and flush with water. With 4 weeks remaining those buds are gonna swell and take off like you wouldnt believe. I get that "o crap my plant isnt gonna yield syndrome" at about the same time. Then i remember patience. And that a plant packs on most of it weight in the last few weeks.

ok mate its just my first grow and i have been out and bought grow tent, 600w hps, fans, carbon filters thinking it would get me some nice bud and i was just starting to worry about them being so small at this stage. just got to give them time. i really hope they get bigger will post pics closer to harvest and harvest day. is it right to leave ur plant in darkness and without water 3 days before harvest? thanx for ur comments

I always do my final flush 3 days before harvest, but this is just my method. I have done the darkness and it didnt hurt. But it is just a matter of personal belief . Some say it boost resin production and i think it does to a certain point, but it might vary from strain to strain.

What kind of nutrients are you using? Do you balance your ph of your nutrient solution and fresh water?
