Are these buds likely to get much bigger? Each branch is about 3 foot in length if that helps with perspective. They been in flower since about the 20th december but were heavily pruned a couple weeks in on the lower parts of the plant. I'm wondering how soon to start the flush as its hard to tell if they still getting bigger and have lots of the mushroom type glands on the leaves and buds.
Is this plant likely to get much bigger?

The buds may not get any bigger.
The 20th of December huh?
That would put them at about 45 days into bloom.
So you got about 2-3 weeks left, depends on the strain.
If you don't have a jewelers scope, get one. Radio Shack... $15
What's happening at this stage is, the trichomes/resin glands are maturing.
Look through the scope without damaging the buds and look for peak ripeness.
I would give them one more dose of nutes with a bit of overdrive, and sugar daddy in with the mix.
Then just plain water there after.
Be patient your almost there.
Lookin good.

Ye I was thinking about the same. Gonna do 1 more week then 2 weeks of just water and a little mollasses. I also read that in the final week or so they tend to really plump up so I'm a bit worried I might crop them before this happens too.

i think for sure they will get bigger they really pack on wheight the final weeks of harvest they look fantastic! What strain is that it will help you determine when to start flushing.
The plant is more like 4 months old its been in flower 6 weeks
Also will dropping the light hours down by another half hour kick its but into growing faster when it thinks the winter is comming closer? I'm running out of time fast as we have to move out in just over 3 weeks. I really hope they fill out a bit, most of the harvest pics i've seen make my buds look so skinny. Can any1 reassure me that it will get there in 3 weeks? =D
Obviously I meant 6 weeks of flowering, veg age doesn't matter.
Grow it for another 2-3 weeks and then cut it before you have to leave. Whether it's fully done then or not... waiting another 2 weeks will improve the size. Generally unless the buds look completely done and about to start dieing, keep growing it and you'll gain more weight. There is no reason to cut it now. Changing the light cycle by an hour makes hardly any difference, especially not in the last 2 weeks of flowering.

Ye nice 1, by my estimations and judging how much bigger they have got in the last week I've got high expectations. I have probably over nuted it slightly as half my bottle of bio bloom is gone. What would you think about giving them pure water and mollasses for the last 3 weeks withought doing a flush? My pot is a self watering type and doesnt have any drainage. I could drill some holes but its not the most sturdy of plants at the min so i dont like to move it too much.
