Looking great @Fruitylucy 
With a few weeks to get a little more weight on their solid structure, those are gonna be magic!
I do a strain called Krippleshock. Taste and effect is awesome but the buds themselves are never what I call big more like acorns (tops excluded).
Genetics/environment/feed/light get them to where we want them: could mine be bigger - Yup, definitely, my weak point is light but I'll get the best I can for now.
Enjoy.

The ones in the picture are wedding cake, I have 2 strains going. They are under 3 led lights next to them in the same tent I have jaffa cake which are under 600watt hps lights. This is my first grow so I'm not quite sure where they should be. But compared to the jaffa they are small an compared to alot of other pictures i have seen at this stage.

So the first picture is the jaffa and 2nd is the wedding. The difference between them is crazy.

No probs, have had the same dark thoughts when I first started and recognised it.
The main thing here is unless you know the plant you won't know until you grow.
Also don't buy into marketing.
(Images of massive fists on top is for
100% of grow is on point: most home growers simply 'aren't'.
Be happy you got them to where you have and on your first try: just think how good your weed is gonna be in a year...!
I started a year ago and mine is 100% better in every respect and I still have a 'ways to go'.
Relax, in a few weeks you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labour, lots fail miserably...

I will say this though: look into node spacing through correct lighting.
Example here in simple terms, where a stem has 3 flowers spread over, say 12 inches, learning to control growth earlier with more blue lighting will condense the space between flower sites. So same 12 inches could have 6 flower instead of 3...
If, of course your interested.
Blue led over that strain may double the flower...

Thanks for the reassurance its much appreciated and I think that's exactly what I'm doing. I want those big colas and kinda thought everyone else must be getting the same lol. I'm definitely going to get better leds these wasnt cheap but affordable, may try the mars hydro. This grow is in cocos soil using canna nutrients.

Here's one of my grows at 6 weeks of flower for a comparison.

Learning curve can be steep, but some things that you'll need to learn will take time to develop.
Give yourself a break for not knowing it all.
LST is great. Low stress training is helpful to shape the plant fpm a Christmas tree shape to one with a larger yeild or fit space.
tying bits, bending bits & sometimes cutting (specific) bits to create even canopy: making all tops fat equally.
Tip: get lots of rubber covered garden wire - you'll need it.
YouTube is a good place for quick n dirty real examples of whatever technique is in your head but RIU is always here to help, ask and someone will get to you...

Thank you, I have watched a few videos, probably no where as many as I should have by now. I will definitely be doing things differently 2nd time round, definitely the training and topping (I pinched mine) and It's not easy to ask anyone here in the uk lol which is why I went in search of a group/forum.I think I'm more agitated now then ever before. The end is near an I cant wait to see the results.

dont compare this plant to your previous grows, or even other plants in the garden. (assuming theyre not all clones from the same mother) They all will get different sizes and mature at different rates. Some swell up at week 4, some at week 7 or 8. Some not at all...
The size of those nugs is nothing to complain about, ive seen much worse lol. Some strains have more terps and taste and run a bit smaller, which is a trade ill make anyday imo as long as theyre not tiny tiny

I kinda thought they would all grow the same lol. I've read abit this afternoon which has helped clear things up a little, and thanks to you guys I can relax a little. seems like I'm learning something new everyday. I thought it would be a walk in the park like growing a bloody sunflower but nooo
