Plant looks absolutely beautiful! My tip would be to change nothing, and to keep doing whatever you're doing.

Perhaps you could post all of the details of your grow (medium, lights, nutrients, temp, humidity, ventilation etc).

Thankyou feels great hearing you say that!! I'm using biobizz light mix soil under a 600w LED on a 20/4 light cycle. I am only using 2 nutrients which are biogrow and biobloom, 1ml of grow 2ml bloom per litre, currently drinking 1 litre every 2-3 days, temperature I keep between 23-27°, humidity during flowering I struggle to get below 50% but I have good air flow so humidity shouldn't be a problem

As long as you have very good airflow, you'll be fine. If you think 50% is bad, check out what I have to deal with for a few weeks at this time of year until it really warms up:

That's with a large dehumidifier down in the basement even.

Thankfully, I have no plants that are beyond week three of flower, and next week I expect my humidity to be back down to sub-50%.

Jesus! Well I've heard as long as you keep good air circulation then high humidity shouldn't be such a problem

I must admit that it sometimes makes me nervous, but I have excellent airflow, lollipopped plants, and the under-canopy is extremely open.

I do, but they are extremely fuzzy. I must have dropped or otherwise damaged my camera somehow, and my phone camera is fubar.

I'll try to get some stable photos this afternoon when I go down to do some cloning and pollination.

Here's a few photos I took a few days ago with my phone. Sorry about the HPS pic, the flash wasn't firing correctly, and don't have adequate light with the grow lamp off.

First one is my Blueberry x Afghani #1 strain (I call it Spiceberry), the second is a female Sour Diesel. I think these pics were taken a day or two after they went into flower. Both are six week veg (usually I do eight, but not for seed plants). Both of them will be pollinated with Sour Diesel pollen that's starting to drop today.

Here's one of the underside of the canopy in my breeding flower tent. Again, sorry about the HPS. 4x4x7' tent, 600W HPS, four plants each in a 3 gallon pot. Sour D is front left, the Spiceberry is front right. In back, I've got two more Spiceberry plants that are about week 3-1/2 flower (at the time).

I'll try to snap some decent pictures of my other (production) areas this afternoon as I said. I run it the same way as this configuration, except it has a 1kW lamp as opposed to the 600, and the plants in there veg for eight weeks, not six.

They look really good! Really healthy too, I was thinking about snipping off a couple branches but decided against it since it's my first grow, instead I just took off some fan leaves that couldn't be tucked away and covering to much light

Thanks!

I switched nutrients at the end of April after about five years of using GH Flora, and have made three slight modifications. I'm still seeing *very* slight Nitrogen toxicity on two of the plants, so the next batch of nutrients I make (I mix them in two 15 gallon drums), I'm going to lower the Nitrogen slightly.

Other than that, I'm very impressed and happy, and am quite surprised I have been able to dial it in under less than a couple of months.
