Do my plants look okay?

I keep having this paranoia creeping up on me that there is something wrong with my plants. They’re just so tiny and small. Like they’re only a few weeks from harvest but I’m doubting that they will bulk up THAT much in two weeks, maybe I’m wrong. This is my first grow so don’t get me wrong I am grateful that they even made it this far. But what’s up with my plants? I’m wondering if it’s because I have a lot of bud sites, so they’re all a little smaller rather than having fewer BIG buds. Who knows, maybe you guys do lol. Thank you in advance
P.S. if anyone has suggestions about how much longer I need to wait I will gladly take the advice.

I cant get the pictures to load. But if you're wondering about optimal harvest time. Use the zoom on your phone camera and look at the clear tiny hairs ( forget actual name) 8they are clear, its too early. if they are cloudy with some clear, its time to cut them if you want a less couch lock buzz. If you want a hard stone let them brown

Did these load for you? Trichomes are cloudy, almost ALL pistils are amber (on some plants they’re literally all amber) and I really DONT want a total couchlock high BUT I also don’t want super fluffy nugs if it means waiting a few more weeks for them to swell and dense up then I will. I’m caught in between chopping them now and having less, or waiting and getting more but having that heavy high that I’m not a fan of. What do you think I should do?

I forgot to say I use a jewelers loop to regularly check the trichomes. Just a few are starting to amber but I’m bummed my buds turned out so small

Yes more bud sites will make more smaller buds. That blurple light isn't helping create fat buds either. And from the pics, I'd say they probably need around 2 more weeks.

I’m sorry I wish you could see them too. They were called “roleadro” I think the brand was. They’re not too bad I mean they work at least lol. So since I used a crappo light I’m thinking they’re not going to get much bigger. Technically I could harvest now I just wonder if I’m harvesting early because if they’ll swell I’ll leave them but I’m doubting it

Unfortunately, your problem is the lights. Gotta spend more.

I can see all the pictures

HLG, Chilled, Timber, rapidled, and some others I'm not thinking of are all good light manufactures. And there is always HPS

In addition to what Teag mentioned another good / newer one is the electric sky company ES 300 V... Spend a little more on lights for the fatties but like you said they're working and hell looks good for your first grown! With that light you'll probably want to do 1 or 2 and a time so they're directly under the light.. also you'll want them as close as possible without burning..

Kudos should be a fine harvest!

Edit: btw was able to open the pics just had to load forever for one reason or another.

Awesome! I will definitely invest in better lights next grow. I will give them two more weeks and then cut them down. I’m excited!
