Im waiting for them to get huge...im three weeks in and they seem to be the same size as last week. Ive heard right at the end they get their biggest but to me it seems like it would be more gradual. What can i expect? thanks guys

You should see your buds grow the most during the last week. The first few weeks aren't as much because the plants are still growing. Being patient really pays off. Do you have a scope?

Well..just in case you want to use science to tell when your plants are mature. 30 power is the best to get, at least it works for this old man. VV

i havent had a ton of experience like some of the growers on here, like the guy above me but from my limited experience there is about a week window where your buds will ust get gigantic , i know i went away for about 4 days and had a friend look after my plants and when i got back the buds where like twice as thick as before i left, which was an awesome experience, like was said before be patient

I think buds gain the most size during the 3rd through 6th weeks of flower. Of course this is based on my growing mostly indica dominant strains. But many people say " the last two weeks"... I think it's rather subjective personally.

Last 2 weeks of budding while using KoolBloom seems to be the most growth in my situations.

Not that I know of. It's part of the General Hydroponics nutrient set so I had to get it at a hydro store. Lucky for me there is one 10 minutes from my house (5 minutes on my GSX-R!)
