You have killer lights. Its really just making the perfect photosynthesis. Light, nutrients and co2. Have you looked up VPD. Or you could try a negative pressure environment I've had much better results this time by just changing that 1 thing. To hit optimal growth you need to relax on overfeeding. See the way your leafs are all curling under. Usually related to N tox and your plants are very green. But it's not to bad I don't see any clawing or you don't have a shine. Relax on the feed have a look at dual part feeds there's lots out now where you can give grow and boom together in ratios of 3:1 so say it works out .3ml/l grow to .9ml/l bloom for when they are flowering and turn that on its head for growth. Jungle juice trio is a good line 3 1l bottles G,B,M for 24e or a dual part grow, bloom & micro from general hydroponics. It'll stop you overfeeding with grow as the pk from the bloom helps nutrient uptake so look into dual part feeding. Also uppotting will help make for a strong root structure (root ball). So some ppl uppot up to 3 times to make for strong roots. Anyways there's lots you can do to make for stronger growth, bigger buds. You have killer lights, id say the ppfd is huge so it has to be for ventilation and you need to keep bringing in co2 by way of drawing in o2 or use a co2 supplement but a negative pressure environment will help increase co2 and make for denser buds. Good luck.

Most has been said already below but I did want to confirm in my opinion negative air pressure does improve how tight n compact buds are 🙏💚

Like others have said its 90% genetics 9.9% providing optimal growth conditions and base nutrients and 0.1% adding the millions of different side products offered. As for the side product that does cell structure for is silica. ARMOR SI is the general hydroponics version. I don't see one for general organics though( organic line for general hydroponics ). looking at your nurtures you are not using any "Base" nutrients but using all "supplements" I think you would get the results your looking for by using one of the feed chart's at the ratio that give. I find most feed charts are to much and usually they need between 40-60% of the recommended amount. Just keep the ratio's the same and you should not run into any issues. https://generalhydroponics.com/resources/biothrive-feedcharts/ Good luck and Happy Growing.

Just as in life it's genetics. There is a few things to help get thick stalks. The longer you veg the thicker the stalk will get as the plant grows. You will need to transplant to bigger pots. This will also give you a larger root mass. This will lead to bigger buds. You can also grow outdoors planted directly into the Planet Earth. That will also help with big thick stalks and fat buds. Cheers!

mostly genetics... even a slightly off nutrient regimen won't change fates. some plants grow big colas, some never will no matter how sophisticated or often self-invovled a process is. all we control is the general health of the plant. you cannot force big buds. you cannot force quality. that has a ceiling set by genetics. if a product claims something but also does not give any reputable research proving a statistically significant impact across a suitable sample size relative to probabiliaties at play... it's probably on purpose... like most 'supplements' out there... plenty of time to properly test them, but they don't... because, it would lower their sales if they pulled the curtain back on the utter uselessness of those products 99% of the time. there's no magic here... keep'em happy. they'll produce what they are coded to produce.

you have too much N and overfed plants. dont overfeed if you want healthy plants that reach their maximum genetic potential. as for thick stems, big pots, a lot of medium, lots of light and genetics are the answer. some plants just dont grow big buds or thick stems compared to some others under same conditions.
