First your plants don't look so bad, you have carbload I don't use nor did I study your nutrients, however, this isn't brain surgery. Use flowering nutrients, use a carb which you are, maintain a great PH low water temps, nice consistent grow room temps. When all the elements are right the light needs to be bright and close, if anything goes wrong back your lights off.

To be fair you didn't give a lot of details, you can't be given very specific help but you aren't getting replies so I thought I would at least offer some input. Only on my third harvest but I do pay attention and as far as I can tell your plants look fine continue not fucking around as you are doing right now, do everything by the book research all your moves first your plants will finish just fine.

i see in your video you removed alot of healthy fan leaves. WHY!?!?! thats gonna kill your bud production. NEVER remove healthy fan leaves....if they are yellow and you can gently give it a tug and its comes off thats fine.

First I would say make sure what your 360-watt HPS conversion bulb puts out, as in Kelvin range and CRI. While some conversion bulbs match or come close to matching regular bulbs in some ways they normally are lacking in others. An example is I looked up a bulb similar to yours and the color temperature was 2100 degrees Kelvin and a 400-watt HPS bulb was 2100K but there were other things that were different. The CRI was 28 for the conversion bulb and it was 25 for the regular bulb and the lumen output of the conversion bulb was 25,000 and the regular HPS was 50,000. You might want to consider upgrading in the future to increase yields.

Another thing is if your conversion bulb has some hours on it it might be time to replace it. As I am sure you know grow lights will still appear to be bright to the human eye long after plants under them are not receiving adequate light.

Another semi-option would not increase bud size but it can increase resin production and that is add UV light. It won't make your buds bigger but it can make them better and that is better than nothing.

I did not look at the video, I only read the message, but you made an excellent point. Removing healthy fan leaves will cause a decrease in bud production along with a decrease in THC and other cannabinoid and terpenoid production.
