Op ... Plants do not run on your timeline .... Buds ( flowers ) mature according to the grow environment , lighting ,
genetics and skill you have for those plants . Over time , you will see improvements with grow and experience.
Consider a full seed to chop as a win . Also , NEVER go by breeder estimates ( harvest ) times - those are either bullshit or from “ controlled “ in house breeding testing. Betting those go at least another 2 weeks .
BTW Congrats on your grow ... frosty ass bitches.
Remember it’s Not how long it’s been growing .... It will take as long as it takes to get full maturity. Good lighting is ALWAYS important to the bloom phase. . As far as maybe the Miracle Grow Bloom ... I am betting there are better alternatives that target what “ cannabis “ can use ... not saying MG products can’t grow , just there are very simple options that would really bump the flower.
The way the buds have stacked is a combo of lighting and genetics. I ran plenty of nug sized strains .... not a big issue unless you are looking for yield. Looking at the “ frost “ I am gonna say those will probably be fire if let them go as long as needed.

Thanks yeah I plan on buying Fox farm. But this grow was done cheaply compared to what it could be.

Weeeellllllllll,,,, it is just bioscience bs. But not entirely. Stressing the plant for a week and a half to two weeks before you intend to cut does in my experience lead to a slightly higher amount of resin production. Although I don't think he will be happy with his results splitting his stalks.
When I am near harvest, I will go back and Crack the branches over (think super cropping) again. Not enough to break them.. And having done this side by side with clones of the same size, started the same day, from the same mother. The stressed clone did put out more resin. I wouldn't recommend doing this to someone just starting out though.
Splitting stalks, as Budzbudda stated, is not a good thing to do. Especially at the end of flowering. You do not want to cut or damage your main stalks. So no nails or knives through them either, lol.. That is what is carrying the majority of the nutrition those buds need to grow and finish properly.

Just why shock the damn thing ? ... seems easier to say good morning to your harvest ready girl then chop her fucking head off.
Quick and clean.

Yep, there's your problem bud. You have 400watts of crappy blurple covering an area that you need at least 480 watts of QUALITY LED. With those lights you are using, you need close to double the wattage you are currently running. This is the main reason you have small buds.

In the mean time, can you get that light way closer to the plants?

How much closer are you thinking?

It's not gonna work. His 4x4 is pretty full, and giving more intensity to some plants by moving the light closer will only take away light from other plants. You can't get around the physics of light and it's requirement for photosynthesis. Like I said back on page one:

How close are they now?

oh? I wasn't aware it was considered that since there are several articles about it but it would make sense as most of them don't show the technique being physically done. guess its time for a science experiment I guess

@Budzbuddha is right tho, it is bro science. Feel free to prove me wrong, and post a scientific study on it. Besides, even if it did work and made your buds frostier, at what cost? Fractionally higher THC % is meaningless if it comes along with a reduction in yield.
