Buds not growing

This plant is 40 days into 12/12 and 32 into flower, so I guess they are just into their 5th week of flower.
The buds haven't really grown much in the last week and some trichomes are getting cloudy, so I'm guessing this plant should have about 2 to 3 weeks left. Is this normal? As far as I know, I haven't stressed it worse than a burned leaf edge every now and then, but those are the dangers of CFL. She drinks a litte less than a half gallon every other day.
She is in a one gallon smart pot in MG potting mix. I feed her every third feeding with MG Bloom Buster.
 
I know people swear by triches but this is the exact reason why you have to look at other factors as well. As long as your leaves look healthy I would continue as normal until your pistils recede and your buds stop swelling. You're kind of at that stage where the buds may not appear to be growing as quick as they were, but they are probably adding on the heft that you want.
 
I appreciate that man. The pistils have pretty much receded. I will just continue feeding. I can still see plenty of swollen calyxes too.
Kind of hard to see the buds in this pic:

Here is a better pic from last week:

 
Looks like you have a lot of leaf going on.. Could be nothing, could be something.. Any light leaks? Have you changed lighting schedule recently?
 
Nah, no changes, no chance of light leak. Its not as much leaves as it looks. Most of the leaves are in the buds and there's no new growth either. I'm hoping they fatten up in the last two weeks. I hear everyone say they do, but I've never witnessed it, being this is my first grow.
Maybe this is the calm before the storm...
