They might not be swelling up because you have inadequate light. Don’t know what your w/sq. Ft. Is but I assume that blurple is pulling more like 200 than 600

It’s a very small tent, 60 x 60 x 140 and I have 4 small autos in there in 3 gal pots, I haven’t really thought that light would be an issue as it’s literally beaming down on every budsite

As others have already stated you don't have enough light. It doesn't matter if the buds are getting light or not. It's the light intensity that matters and you don't have enough.

I just don’t understand why the other 3 plants have fat dense nugs but this one hasn’t. The plant hasnt stopped growing the pistols are just turning brown, my light is around 14 inches away from the plants

Browning pistils can indicate seeded plants. Are these female autos or regular?

What are the actual lights you are running? A link to them, or the name and model number, would help.

It was in a grow kit from a hydroponics store near me, honestly it says 600W but I don’t exactly know what Wattage it’s actually pulling, all I know is once I’ve fed them I’m left blinded and seeing everything in a green tint after leaving the tent

That really doesn't mean anything. I have a 25W grow light that will do the same to your eyes in a small grow tent. If it came from a kit, and is labeled as a 600W grow light, then it is probably drawing 140W - 200W and you 300+ watts in a tent that size with a cheap LED light like that.

Hmm will it do for this grow? All the other plants are fine it’s just this one. I’m definitely going to invest in an actual LED or a different light from a trusted brand.
