How Can I Thicken Up My Budz?

May I?....Please, don't top or scrog that plant. It is too far into flower for that to be productive.

Have you removed any leaves off the plant....like your fan leaves? Just curious by the look of your plant.

Did you purposely defoliat that much or is it a strain trait??

I hardly ever defoliat because I believe (I'm no scientist by any means) the leaves are what helps capture lumens, photosynthesize, and provide energy to help the plant grow, utilize nutes, and produce fruit (ie bud)

Yes get bigger lights and learn about LST training, and super and/or monster cropping. Nutrients don’t make bigger buds; only more wattage does that.

Remember that with LED lighting we want warmer canopy temperatures than we do under HPS. HPS puts out about 60% of it's photons in the infrared area, IR light warms surfaces it touches (leaves). To achieve optimal leaf surface temperatures under LED lighting we need a canopy temperature up around 83 - 86F where under HPS we might aim for 79F.

Cool leaf surface temperatures will slow the growth rate, plain and simple.

That is one factor that LED growers often overlook.

QUALITY LED lighting takes about 35 watts per square foot in flower (thats actual watts), if it's a blurple LED then you probably need more than that, like 40 - 50 depending on the quality of the light.

Know that overfeeding doesn't help, and most of the yield comes in the end when the flower is becoming denser so never chop early, wait it out.

Hope all that info helps you in your quest.

Thxz For The Info, I'll Take that Into Consideration for My Next Grow Set Up. & It Actually Gets Pretty Hot In Here Honestly. 85 Degrees. And I Have Plenty Ventilation.

I'll Definitely Be Waiting Her Out.

Yes I Have Defoliated as I Seen Needed. I Wanted To Promote Light To The Bud Sites instead Of Them Being Cover By Fan Leaves.

I Purposely Did Due To my Research But I Am Inexperienced, Maybe In The Future I'll Just Let Her Florish.

This is often overdone by new growers. You want the leaves there to photosynthesize the light to feed the plant. Trimming leaves needs to be done sparingly, and only needs to be done to help fix airflow issues. Growers who promote defoliation feed their plants a shitload of nutrients to make up for the lack of photosynthesis going on that is caused by removing all the leaves. Bud sites don’t need light because they don’t really do any photosynthesis.

(I've not looked at all of the other replies)

Those look to be quite a ways off from being near done. At least 5 weeks if I really had to guess, possibly up to 8ish. Likely you've done something that would cause the plant to need to recover and have set it back some. I hate to come to that conclusion but it's just more common than other issues. It could just be a longer flowering variation, but you will see a very large increase if you can be patient for as long as you possibly can. Stick it out at least 6 weeks and you'll be surprised at the difference in size and quality of medicine.
