Buds not growing

All those leaves you removed were making the energy the plant needed to grow the flowers. Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth...............too late now, you will just have to ride it out and harvest what you can rather than what could have been.

I agree with Kriss, defoliating a plant in late flower is a bad idea, Also plants are not bound by the manufacturers guidelines they can finish early or later then the suggested average. I think you might have shocked it a bit if it stop going all together. Give it some more time, keep it happy and well fed, should be fine. Plants are looking nice and frosty in the pics.

Deleafing definitely isn’t helping anything either. Less leaves = less energy = less growth

its strain dependant usually buds will fatten up most in the weeks 7-9 plus more light equals bigger buds maybe turn your lights up too if you have not had them on 100% intensity you have probably lost out some yield there. being dwc you have a really easy flush time like 5-7 days if that so you can add more nutrients but I think if just flushed she will use up all her reserves and grow a little bit bigger :) these plants don't look ready yet anyway id say at least 2 more weeks best of luck buddy id keep her going another 3 weeks and see how she is then :)
