I've heard that the buds really swell in the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. My buds look good, but not too big yet. They are just entering week 6 of flowering and are 8-10 weeks. Can I expect a lot more growth or am I doing something wrong?

well I know absolutely NOTHING at ALL about your grow. soil, hydro, nutes, lights, fans, temps, RH, size of room, ect, ect, ect..... So how would you expect me to tell you if you are doing something wrong?

From the info you gave me, all I can tell you is yes, the buds swell up alot in the last 2-3 weeks of flower...

Answer your Q?.....

Point taken. Setup and pics as follows:

8 x 4 grow tent with two 600 watt hps. Plants are 35 days into flowering. Using Fox Farm Ocean forest soil. Fertilizing with age old bloom, budswell, and molasses, supplemented with cal/mag occasionally. One 475 cfm 6" vent fan and two 178 cfm 6" intake fans. Temps are from 75 - 80 with RH between 40 - 50. Strain is Sweet Skunk. Let me know if you need any other info.

Just be patient. You will amazed at how much bulk they put on the last couple of weeks. Just be sure to keep em fed during weeks 6-8, most strains have quite a growth spurt then. I actually reintroduce some veg nutes then. Yes I know it slows flowering, thats why I do it. I dont mind an extra week or so of flower. I love the fat buds gained in the end.

Plants will swell before your eyes for the last 2 weeks as long as you continue to supply them with the essential needs.

THIS ^^^^

Do not starve your plant the last few weeks in the insane idea that you can somehow "remove" fertilizers from the plant. Finish her healthy, chop her down dry her slow and do a good cure.
