No, that's OK. I was just making a point.

I don't think there's anything wrong with them. They look nice and you're doing a good job. They need more time. The days breeders give is is just an estimate and also a sales pitch. It's also still being debated on how to calculate it, is meant to be vague, and your preference matters. You've got a while left. The day will arrive.
No idea where you are but can't you order a small hand held 60x (or higher) scope for $3 from the likes of AliExpress?
I mean, you could pick up a 40x macro lens for a smartphone for well under $10 (I just ordered one costing $6.50 with free shipping), a small hand held scope kicks in from $3, so options are there.
Edit/ I see you have a scope ordered now, ignore the above.
If i order from aliexpress the order would come in 2-6 weeks becuase of the shit post company here.
No different to me then, average is 3 weeks but 6 weeks has been known.
The way I look at it is that the stuff on eBay is the same, just with the price jacked up. A little planning ahead means what you need arrives when you need it instead of a mad rush and paying over the odds.
Works for me anyway
2-3 weeks to arrive in the country and then the package sits at the vamal office for 2-6 weeks.
It's hell!
Ouch!
They started to produce trichomes a few days ago but that's about it, the bud growth seems to be stunted, it has plenty of nugs but they are small and full with white pistils with only a few brown ones.

you need more light to produce bigger buds. you can flower under cfls, and get decent bud, but you aren't going to get a big yield.
cfls just don't have any penetration. i'd look into at least getting some 4 foot t5 HO lights, they're a LOT more efficient than cfls, and the 4 foot units are a lot more efficient than the two foot units. i'd keep the cfls, and use them for side lighting, with the t5s about 8 inches above the canopy. you still won't get monster yields, but it'll be a lot better than just the cfls

In a few months im gonna move to another place and i'm gonna have a more space to work with, here where i live i have to use a very small ikea cabinet, and be stealthy on to of that.
Until i can get a nice MH\HPS setup i have to cope with cfl.
So is there stil hope for these nugs, are they gonna grow a bit more?(i have now 160w clfs)

Hey those look pretty good for your wattage! They seem dense you should get a good yield. Plants have no concept of weeks. How many days is it been flowering?
The biggest problem is the 2-4-8 nutes. Just a bit too much on the potassium ratio to phosphorus. A 2-4-5 would be better or a 4-7-8. Next time if you use the same nutes just add some molasses and few drops of phosphoric acid to the resevoir each feeding. Another option top dress with bonemeal or a high Phos guano.
Oh and as said above the chunk comes from more intense light. Thats strain dependent too. I had a strain super chron but nugs were just tight and small. Gets it up at a dance club but in a turkey bag it sits.
