Well they are flowering, that's for sure. They look as though they don't get enough light. What strain? Soil or hydro?

On your next grow you might want to try to limit the amount of bud sites on your plant. If you trim, you force your plant to produce all flowers on the sites you left. So instead of having to trim lots of small buds, you can trim a smaller amount of larger buds.......

But there is a limit to how much you should trim away. Leaves are solar panels and as such are very important.

I see people clip away large fan leaves near the top, leaving those colas to starve.

+1! Don't trim leaves!!!!! If the plant drops them, remove them from the grow area.


I'm thinking you don't have enough light for your plants..... but without more detail on your grow it's just a guess :wtf:
