Do these look like buds?

Hi, so this is my first time growing and it has been a long time since I started flowering, like 3 months. I only have a 400w light for 2 plants and a small humidifier. There's no fan or anything like that. Do you think these look like buds? If so, how much time is left to harvest? Any suggestions on DIY for improving conditions would be great. I don't have access to most of the materials you use.

Wow 3 months since you had them on a 12/12 schedule?

Need to know what it's growing in/ Soil type / pot size. How are the temps and humidity?

Do you feed it anything but water? Where's the seed from?

By the color in the picture I'm assuming you have a 400 watt HPS. If so how far away from the plants is the light? A 400 watt HPS will easily grow 2 nice plants. Those buds should be much fuller and dense.

Also are those photo's or auto's?

I'm growing in Coco soil I give them advanced nutrients Big Bud and CarboLoad twice a week. My pot is 3 gallons. The temperature is between 24-28 celsius. Well, the seed was in the pack I bought once from a dealer so I don't know what it is. In fact, I'm surprised that it has grown this much :D

Yes, it is HPS. It is like 19 inches away. Yeah, they should be. That's why I'm concerned. The end of the leaves has started to whiten a little bit lately. Do you think my light is too close? I don't know the strain because the seed was in a pack I bought months ago, I figured why not give it chance :) But I'm guessing photo's?

You should invest a few bucks on the 3 part micro, grow, & bloom for coco from advanced. You can buy small bottles on ebay cheap. Unless you want the liters. and feed 1/2 recommended values mixed with a gal of water. PH water to 5.8

They are used all together.. mixed as follows.. Micro.. mix... grow.. mix.. bloom.. mix. They supposedly have to be mixed in order so one doesn't cancel out the other.. (Or some shit)

So you think that what I'm using is causing weak buds? Thank you for helping :)

It depends. If the light is in air cooled hood you can get it much closer. Even if not you could still get it a lot closer. I keep my 600 much closer than that but I'm using an air cooled hood. Heck I'd run a 1000 watt closer than 19". You're light is too far away.
