Howdy DPoisen,

They look dang good ! Only thing I can think of,is some selective pruning and adding more light to the top and to the bottoms of the plants. It also depends on the ferts that you're using..do ya have any SuperThrive ? I think that selective pruning,would help alot..to git light to the lower bud sites and to focus more energy into the buds,rather than maintaining extra foilage.

Have a good one ! :D

well im no expert but just make sure you are using the right ferts for flowering and maybe put in an extra light....all the highly experenced growers say more light = bigger buds

What he said is correct....but with only a few weeks left it's to late for any correction.

But for your next grow use top and side lights, control the humidity bring in Co2 and use exact control for the temperature and use plenty of air flow. This will give you larger and more compact buds.

the only places you're gonna get those large, beer can buds are on the ends of the main stems and it takes high wattage to get those dense buds...if possible, put one back into veg and transplant outdoors when the time's right. you'll get those huge picturesque buds under the sun...much harder indoors. but with care those smaller buds we see on your main stems will grow together forming what appears to be one long flower...but actually are many smaller, thumb-sized buds crammed together.

but you definitely won't get them if you're pruning the tops at this stage...and use caution if going the extra fert route. it's very easy to build up unused ferts and salts in the later stages and too much is just as good as poison...i'm also currently preaching about checking ph...especially in your water. i was shocked to find mine so high and after making appropriate changes have a much better looking crop than any before...pics on the pics page and updated weekly.

good luck with yours...!
