Hi everyone, I’ve got a seedsman amnesia fast around 9 weeks into flower, has anyone got any suggestions to fatten up buds at this final stage?

more light, use a flower booster, all tips for the next grow, it also looks like about 2-3 weeks left and may get fatter than, but time will tell

Thanks for taking time to respond.yes I have been using a big bud booster. This had been an issue with all seedsman grows done, this one is looking best so hoping for some progress over the final couple of week. Thanks again

The buds stretching out is getting ridiculous on the Tangerine Dream. Aside from watching out for herms what would happen if i pruned the budlets that are stretching? The plant is healthy aside from those signs of possible stress. A week or so away from harvest IMO.Week 12

Buds not getting biggerMy gorilla girl has really small buds still at week 7. Are the buds just under taking longer to develop ( long flower time ) ? Is there something I did wrong with plant ( or genetic). Is there anything I can do at this stage to promote bud growth ?Week 11

Airy buds or just genetics?How does my bud development seem to you?
Trichomes aplenty but I feel the leaf to callyx ratio is pretty poor?
Perhaps due to something I've done/not done, or simply a predisposition of its genetics?
Trichomes still 90% clear.
Likely to fatten up in next few weeks as trichs turn?Buds. Not fattening

The plants are in the fifth week of flowering and they're swelling really fast now.
I added pk13/14 twice now and I'm a little confused since the official grow schedule states I should add pk13/14 to only one watering in the whole life cycle.
What is your opinion about that?Week 9

Just wondering (bc I stunted this one early in flowering, noob) if it might be ready to harvest. I dont have a micro so I cant see the tris that well. Buds aren't that big but I did stunt an autoflower and I've heard it diminishes yields. I think its ready. Do yall?Week 8

Change nutrition to support building of budsI plan to change the nutrition to Plagron Alga Bloom instead of Alpha Boost and Soil-SuperMix for the next watering. Hope that this will help the plant to build bigger buds. Do you have suggestions on that? Is there anything else I can do to support the plant on building buds?Week 9

At week 5 of flowering, I've read guides but all strains are diff. Does it look like it's time to start flushing 2 weeks and then chop?I have 4 different strains in my tent with different needs. Next time, probably keep it to one or two strains.
Does it look like time to start flushing the plants in the pictures? Having never done this, I don't know how long I can let them fatten and how to time it. Thoughts?Buds. Not fattening

Flowering stageI have not seen much change in the plants in the last two weeks. No growth. I know I have entered the flowering stage but I don't know what to do next in terms of lighting. Should I go from 18 hours of light a day to 12 hours? I have the option to only turn on the red lights.Week 6
